2 2 Anytime/Anywhere Learning Solutions Workshop Date: Thursday, February 24 Time: 9:00-3:00 Location: Cooperating School District office—1460 Craig Road, St. Louis Cost: Free

3 3 Anytime/Anywhere Learning Solutions Workshop The workshop will cover: Course management applications and anytime/anywhere learning solutions that are available through the design and development of a supplemental course web site using a Course Management System. Specific course tools and features will be demonstrated along with various methods for content delivery. Collaboration and communication activities will also be shown that can be used with student- student, teacher-parent, and other grouping techniques.

4 4 Anytime/Anywhere Learning Solutions Workshop The workshop will cover: Participants in the workshop will be trained with the tools necessary for the development of a web course site. They will also have specific course sites made available to them (for up to six months beginning with the Fall 2005 school year) for the development and delivery of supplemental course materials for up to 30 students. A fee is associated with this pilot program.

5 5 Content Delivery

6 6 Course Design Academic calendar Course syllabus Lesson outlines Homework assignments Lecture notes WebQuests Answer keys Posting of student work Content resources*

7 7 Resource Allocation Shifts resources and foundational course documents to a course web site More direct and automated grade distribution Instructors can reorganize meeting times to meet the needs of content*

8 8 Student Engagement Transfer course lectures and content to the web Provides students with: More time in class for application of activities More time spent with content Utilize templates, grouping techniques, and learning hubs to aid in promoting a community of learners*

9 9 Learning Hubs This type of course site is centered around one faculty member Design provides a unique way by which an instructor can easily manage students and courses Reduces the amount of time spent developing and maintaining individual course sites*

10 10 Course Template Development of a template Creates consistent expectations and outcomes across sections of a course Manages multiple sections more efficiently Allows for the development of common curriculum for multiple section courses Supports sharing of resources Development of curriculum-rich course sites over time*

11 11 Student Assessment Assessment techniques should be based on desired learning outcomes Assessment results should be used by students to evaluate progress through course materials Create online quizzes and exams using pooling option*

12 12 Student Assessment Provide short formative online assessments Streamlines knowledge check process Reclaims time spent on in-class quizzes Frees up time for more interaction and discussion Incorporate group and teamwork Use the grouping feature to organize this process Use peer reviews*

13 13 Course Development

14 14 Design Techniques Appropriate incorporation of courseware instructional technology tools Does the instructional technology tool enhance the learning of content? e-mail: professional use announcements threaded discussions digital notebooks file sharing feature chat and whiteboard feature audio and video integration external resources*

15 15 Course Management Systems eCollege www.ecollege.com Blackboard www.blackboard.com WebCT www.webct.com Sample Course Site http://www.NorthwestOnline.org

16 16 Pre-Course Development Extensive and thorough syllabus scoring guides including grading review dates course schedule of deadlines online communication etiquette online expectations and policies*

17 17 Pre-Course Development Course orientation sample course that provides demonstration of courseware online learning techniques course and learner expectations

18 18 Course Management Techniques Provide students with a systematic way to navigate the course Communicate expectations for use of the course site*

19 19 Parental Access Options Provide parents with student username and passwords Parents would have access to everything the student does, including gradebook, assignments, discussion forums, and e-mail Provide parents with own username and passwords Parents would be able to see the main content but would not have access to gradebook, discussion forums, and e-mail*

20 20 Parental Access Guidelines for parental access to course web site must be provided—computer user agreements Clearly state that parents should only view the content of the course site and not interact with the content (not participate in forums, e-mail, or assignments)*

21 21 Collaboration and Communication

22 22 Collaborative Learning Consists of students working interactively in groups using synchronous and asynchronous tools to complete activities, assignments, and projects*

23 23 Interactions Teacher-student Student-student Student-content Student-technology*

24 24 Getting to Know Students Information and Index of Learning Styles http://www.ncsu.edu/felder- public/ILSpage.html http://www.ncsu.edu/felder- public/ILSpage.html Complete the questionnaire now (http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyle s/ilsweb.html)http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyle s/ilsweb.html

25 25 Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning CSCL focus: Collaborative learning supported by technology Enhances peer interaction in groups Facilitates sharing and distribution of knowledge among the group*

26 26 Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Interactions occur through the use of computer-supported collaborative learning tools and techniques Purpose is to get students engaged in the content by working with others and using technology which enhances this process Technology provides the opportunity for spontaneous collaboration Technology coordinates this collaboration*

27 27 Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning Builds a networked community of learners Provides a setting for knowledge sharing and knowledge building Student group presentations and projects Engages students in a problem-solving environment Promotes synthesis and reflection of process Provides a text archive of process*

28 28 Grouping Techniques Assignment of course content based on roles or enrollment status for the course Distribution of roles and responsibilities Peer assessment and grading based on group developed scoring guides*

29 29 Communication Methods Asynchronous Threaded discussions E-mail Document sharing Synchronous Chat Instant messaging Desktop video conferencing*
