Assignment:
The following note in
red was added 3/22/02:
You
will need to think carefully about how you
are going to implement this assignment.
Take a
look at: How to Build a Course Website, from
Macromedia's Training Cafe: http://www.trainingcafe.com/members/coursesite/
It offers
easy-to-use templates if you choose not to use a
course delivery system. You could even do it
using a 30-day trial of Dreamweaver.
Issues to
consider:
- the
web page design and layout of your learning
activities (you may need to consult our own
instructional staff for this, or talk to the
staff in your own campus IT
department).
- what
kind of interacting between/among students
you're going to require.
- the
course delivery system that you intend to use
to accomplish interactivity (submission of
assignments and discussion).
Caution:
KEEP IT SIMPLE. For this assignment, don't make
your web page too complicated. Some of you are
planning to teach courses online this summer.
How about putting up just one learning activity
from a course that you plan to teach?
|
It's
time now to upload the learning
activities that you designed in Unit
4, and test them out. Put your
learning activity(ies) on a Web page
and upload the page to a server as
soon as possible during the first
week of this unit.
Supply a short
context that explains the course for
which your activities apply. Be sure
to include a learning objective so
that learners here will understand
what you are trying to teach and
what they are supposed to
learn.
You
may use whatever course delivery
system you wish (WebCT,
Blackboard, eCollege,
etc.).
- If you
need to learn the basics of WebCT
designing, our WebCT specialists
(Barbara Moore and Roxanna
Whitaker) will give each of you a
WebCT account so that you can
create whatever interactivity
your learning activities
require.
- You'll
need to "enroll" in WebCT the two
learners who will be working with
your learning activities (go to
Unit
6
to figure out who'll be learning
with you).

  Discussion
Holiday
|
Instead of
having a discussion this week, let's
take the week off to simply reflect
on:
- What you
learned
- What
problems or challenges you
encountered
- How you
might have handled these more
effectively
- What
surprises you found
- What you
will do differently next
time
- with
respect to designing and
uploading your module or learning
activity.
-
- Do read
what each other has uploaded.
If you have a burning itch to
say something to someone about
what they've posted, do it in
email.
Meanwhile,
keep working on your final
"group
project."
