Reference: Lee and Owens
PART ONE: Justification for web deployment of learning activities and objects.
Read Lee and Owens (Part 1, focus on chapters 1 and 11) and find one additional scholarly source related to media analysis.
Keep in mind the overall scenario for this course: In Week 1 you were commissioned to design a learning object tutorial for your target audience (K-20 students or corporate employees). Last week you identified a topic for your learning object and completed a Needs Analysis and Audience Analysis for it. This week you will justify why your learning object should be delivered via the Internet and specifically the WWW.
Discuss why an Internet-based deployment is a better choice for delivery of your learning object than other methods. Your answer should include a media analysis of your topic. A media analysis focuses on the types of media your learning object requires such as images, video, self-scoring quizzes, etc., and why the web is required to deploy them. Include two references (Lee & Owens and one additional scholarly article) cited in APA style.
PART TWO: Instructional Design Plan and Project Team
Read Lee and Owens (Part 2, focus on chapters 15, 16, and 17).
Create a Course Design Specification (CDS) document for your learning object. Although you are commissioned to create only one tutorial for your final project, for the purposes of creating a CDS, pretend you are creating an entire web site (course). Identify the project team members needed to create the entire course and how long would be required to complete the job. Use the reading in Lee and Owens as your primary source, coupled with one additional scholarly source that supports your plan.
Collaborize Classroom
This week you will respond to the two DB tasks above in a Collaborize Classroom of your own creation. Collaborize is a free, private online discussion forum that can be used to augment your physical classroom or class web site (if your current site lacks a threaded discussion feature).
Yes, I know the following are commercials for Collaborize, but they are valuable if you listen to what these digital natives say about how an online tool fit their needs and affected their learning. Feel free to substitute the names of any number of similar tools for "Collaborize" as you listen. The effect on digital natives remains the same: Social constructivism, anyone?
When creating the discussion forum in a Collaborize Classroom, the teacher can upload any media as a starter, including embedding a video. Students respond inside a WYSIWYG text interface. Students can also use Collaborize Classroom to create their own DBs following a variety of interaction formats. Again, social constructivism, anyone?
Please follow these steps:
1. Go to Collaborize Classroom and click on "Sign Up For Free Site Today."
2. Fill in all fields in the registration form. Click Next.
3. Give classroom a name and customize your username. Click "Create My Collaborative Classroom."
4. Title discussion and paste in two DB assignments from above. Select "Forum," category ("Class 1 Discussion") and set end date as Sunday.
5. Click "Video" under Attach a File. You will be prompted to give video a name, then retrieve embed code from your YouTube video introduction to the discussion.
6. Paste in embed code for your video and click "Publish."
7. Open the discussion you created and provide responses to both DB questions as directed above.
8. Click "Manage" tab from top nav bar, select "Members" from drop-down menu.
9. Click on "Invite New Members" and add email addresses of all members of the class:
| lori.vargo@q.com,durbro@msn.com,dj_crac@yahoo.com,aueagle79@gmail.com,dominguezjj2003@yahoo.com, pjrfonseca@hotmail.com,sonjahults@sbcglobal.net,CJSDAUGHTER@GMAIL.COM,justin_loh@charter.net, john.reader.murillo876@gmail.com,emtalmadge@gmail.com,jwil27@yahoo.com,ALONZONSD@YAHOO.COM, Lazstamatis@gmail.com,comptaylor@gmail.com,jessicalynn.tran@gmail.com |
10. Delete any gaps or empty spaces in email list after pasting it in. Click on "Send Invitations" and again on "Send Invitations" on the next screen after checking addresses.
RESPOND: You will invited to join the Collaborize Classrooms of all students in the class who complete this assignment. Choose at least two class members to visit in the classrooms. After watching their intro video and reading their DB responses, provide feedback to the classmate following the guidelines in the course syllabus.
