1. The Laptop Classroom Reporting System ( go to http://homework.uoregon.edu/pub/sa.html http://homework.uoregon.edu/pub/sa.html For more information and trial demo)

2. Pedagogical Design, Philosophy and Implementation Content is pushed out to student laptops Students work together in small groups to analyze, manipulate, annotate, edit, examine content using provided IT tools Results of each laptop client are published to a “Global Canvas”, managed by the instructor Variance in student work/approach then frames the ensuing, robust discussino

3. Modes of Operation Simple text Symbol manipulation and arrangement; iconic timeline construction Spreadsheet exercises Data analysis using simulations or virtual labs; Graphing of data Image annotation and analysis Modeling and reporting of parameters

4. Text Example What the student sees on their screen – they type in their text and then publish

5. Global Canvas in Text Mode

6. Symbol/Icon Mode  Students drag and drop icons into boxes

7. Global Canvas View

8. Spreadsheet Example  Students input their choices for parameters

9. Global Canvas – Spreadsheet (which can be sorted)

10. Image Tool Student can annotate sets of images from a list or library of image data

11. Image Tool Global Canvas – can select and display individual student annotations; can also be used as a means for students to upload images to be displayed in class

12. Graphing Example Students can plot point on graph via mouse click or type data into X Y table Students can plot point on graph via mouse click or type data into X Y table

13. Graphing Global Canvas –can display both graph and student data

14. Parameter Reporting

15. Parameter Report Canvas  All the individual parameters that constitute a model are published at once – this is very powerful for pedagogy and allows students to visualize and understand sensitivity to parameters

16. Global Canvas Lab Report Example “Homework” Submission Example “Homework” Submission

17. Summary This is a real time classroom reporting system which allows the instructor to cycle through the various responses fast and easily Can be used also for submission of homework or other out of class activities It works and its scalable
