1. The Role of Media and Technology in Education a. Discussion of the nature of media and technology and influence on knowing and the process of knowing b. Examining the common technologies and media currently used for teaching and learning, comparison of these various learning materials. c. Attributes or characteristics of media and technologies, and how they represent or structure knowledge. d. Effect of the use of technology on learning outcomes 2. A Framework for Selecting and Using Technology In order to make best possible decisions for about the selection and use of media and technology for teaching and learning, the following questions must be answered: a. What kind of activities by the student would most facilitate learning of the subject? b. What media or technology would best facilitate this interaction? c. How can technology enable scarce teaching resources to be best used, and be best supported by less scarce resources, with respect to increasing the amount and quality of learner interaction? 3. Supporting Technology-Based Learning a. Webtures instead of lectures 1. One advantage in using the World Wide Web in teaching is the capability to display lecture material with links to related information. 2. The Web can also be used for a number of exercise-type activities to help students master course content b. Teaching Students to Web Critically and Intelligently 1. Providing the tools for navigating the World Wide Web.

2. Helping students develop critical thinking and evaluating skills, based on the following criteria: 1. Overall Design a. Effective use of visual rhetoric i. ii. iii. iv. Color Text Layout on the screen Graphics

b. Ease of Information Access effective use of headers and lists 3. Content a. Usefulness of information presented b. Usefulness of links c. Information given appropriate to the audience and purpose for this site 4. Purpose 1. Clear, identifiable purpose to the site 2. Clear, identifiable audience for the site 4. Contextualized Learning: Supporting Learning in Context a. Presentation of current e-learning systems that enable support for contextualized learning. b. Analysis of new learning paradigms and their potentials for e-learning and contextualization 5. Intelligent and Adaptive Web-Based Instruction a. Description of web-based instructional tutorials that support active and engaging learning. b. Consideration of the students needs and capabilities, as well as teaching strategies while taking advantage of the possibilities of the Web, by being open to other resources (web sites) and other people (online communities).
