The New Learning Technologies
2
Learning Delivery Systems
• What are they?– Means by which educators deliver
critical content and concepts to students
• Types of courses:– Campus-based– Online– Web-enhanced– ITV and telecourses– Blended– Off-campus*
3
Learning Delivery Systems
• Aspects of learning delivery systems work well – in specific situations– with certain content and concepts
– with particular types of students*
4
Supplemental Course Sites
• Can be useful for integration with any of the learning delivery systems – develop simple content rich course
sites– built around the learning outcomes for
the course*
5
• Supply students with foundational course information– instructor information– course syllabus– lecture notes– course
presentations– handouts– assignments*
Supplemental Course Site
6
Supplemental Course Site
• Course site then becomes the delivery system for critical course content for which the student is responsible
• Leaves the face-to-face time (campus-based, web-enhanced, or blended) available for other activities*
7
Hybrid and Blended Programs• Another option is the flexibility to
develop an entire program with a combination of learning delivery systems – Labeled as hybrid or blended programs – Foundation is the web site for each
course, which houses the content for the courses
– Additional mix of delivery systems may be incorporated into the courses and/or program*
8
Hybrid and Blended Example• Instructional television may be
used to meet the needs of a group of geographically located students– When combined with a course web
site, this can save • student travel
time and money • institutional
resources*
9
Learning Hub
• An innovative option to the standard course web site
• Serves as the basis for a myriad of learners co-enrolled in one course site
• Results in a new student status– co-enrolled students
• on-campus and online students enrolled in the same course site*
10
• This type of course site is centered around one faculty member – Learning hub for
• online• campus-based• undergraduate students• graduate students
– 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*
Learning Hubs
11
Learning Hubs
• Minimizes course site development
• Supports sharing of resources
• Promotes community of learners*
12
Learning Hubs– Instructors can develop assignments
for each learning group • assignments can be associated with a
particular group– Course tools can also be associated
with a specific learning group or opened across various groups
• threaded discussion• chat• e-mail• document sharing• drop box*
13
Wireless Classrooms: 2 Options• Wireless Classroom
– Cost: $3,000 and up for one access point
• Mobile Cart Model– Cost: $20,000 and up depending on
number of computers plus access point
• Can be moved from room to room
• Setup– Location of power, floors surrounding
room, etc.*
14
Wireless Classrooms• Training
– Users will need to be trained on how to access
• Pedagogical – Where no lab is present, wireless allows
students easy access to the Internet for use in class on projects and discussions
• Management – Scheduling of cart – Controlling student browsing and other
non-academic uses*
15
Student Response Systems: Clickers
• Cost– eInstruction’s Classroom Performance
System – Cost per student unit purchased at
campus bookstore: $22.85 new and $17.15 used
– Instructor system is free– Activation
Activation/ all courses per trimester Activation capped(becomes lifetime
activation)
Activation/ Lifetime (when made with first
purchase)
$13 $39 $35
16
Student Response Systems: Clickers• Setup
– Faculty must register course and have students register their clickers for that course
– Simple hardware setup for faculty– Students must sign in at beginning of
class
• Training– Faculty training needed to fully use
software system*
17
Student Response Systems: Clickers• Pedagogical
– Provides opportunity for student interaction with content
– Provides feedback to instructor about student understanding
• Management– Need to register courses each
semester– Need for students to “remember” to
bring clickers to class– Coping with dead batteries*
18
Podcasting using iTunes• Cost
– Digital recorder to create MP3 files• $100--$1,000
– Sound editing software• Sound Forge--$299 and up• Audacity—free
• Setup– Creation of iTunes account or other
web-accessible storage site– Recording of “live” classroom
lectures*
19
Podcasting using iTunes• Training
– Need to train faculty how to best record lectures
– Need to train on sound editing tools• Pedagogical
– Portable, on-demand– Mobile learning– Assist auditory learners– Additional way to review/access materials– Assist non-native speakers, – Provide supplementary content– Means to deliver content– Means to provide feedback*
20
Podcasting using iTunes
• Management – May not have “inherent” pedagogical
value• Depends on student motivation and
learning context of the podcast
– Need to supply and maintain iPod or MP3 players for instructors
– Need to setup and maintain a repository for recordings and subscriptions*
21
Wikis• Wikis allow anyone to easily create and
edit pages, promoting group collaboration
• Cost– Service to host a wiki such as
• Wikispaces.com, Wikihost.org or Schtuff.com– Free with advertising
– Per month or per year hosting fee ($5/month or $50/year) for advertising-free or private sites
• GeboGebo: http://www.gebogebo.org – Open source wiki software*
22
Wikis• Setup
– Creation of Wiki account
• Training– Need to train faculty how to best
integrate a Wiki
• Pedagogical– Provides collaborative environment
for groups– Provides data sharing and repository
area*
23
Wikis
• Management– Need to maintain organized system– Maintain pertinence of content*
24
Mobile Computing• Includes notebooks, Tablet PCs,
PDAs, and cell phones• Cost
– Depends upon implementation model• Integrate into room and board fees• Purchasing programs through campus
computing services and/or bookstore
• Setup– Funding for program– Wireless access points*
25
Mobile Computing• Training
– Need to train faculty on instructional options available
• Pedagogical– Use web-enabled cell phones to log into
course sites– Use web-enabled cell phones as student
response tools– Have students respond to questions posted
in the course site– Use Tablet PCs for collaborative learning
during presentations– Use Tablet PCs for grading*
26
Mobile Computing
• Management– Distribution and maintenance of
equipment– Network load issues– Managing use* in the classroom
