Understanding And Preparing Teachers Of Millennial Learners, Chris Haskell, Connie Pollard
Understanding And Preparing Teachers Of Millennial Learners, Chris Haskell, Connie Pollard
Chris Haskell
This presentation will examine the results of a *Technology Proficiency and Use* survey of over 200 pre-service teacher education students. This session will discuss results, data, and trends related to current levels of technology knowledge, fluency, and patterns of use. The researchers will classify fluency and comfort in unique categories including software, mobile communications, gaming, social networking, and prevalent secondary technology experience. A framework for developing a pre-service teacher education technology class designed to help prepare the knowledge, skill, and comfort of use technology tools for learning and engagement will be provided. Additionally, the session will feature strategies, tools, structures, …
Building Effective Online Instruction Through Modular Design, Paula Jones
Building Effective Online Instruction Through Modular Design, Paula Jones
Paula Jones
Managing e-Learning content can be very time consuming, and it is especially difficult if the content is not well organized in a logical and consistent sequence for the learners to follow. Modular design is one method of building Web-supported instruction that allows the instructor the flexibility of developing re-useable instructional units, while at the same time reducing student confusion and uncertainty of knowing where to go to access information and participate in the course. Participants in this session will learn how one university recommends building effective and re-useable online instructional content through the use of modular design. The concept of …
Teacher Presence: Using Introductory Videos In Online And Hybrid Courses, Paula Jones, Kim Naugle, Maryann Kolloff
Teacher Presence: Using Introductory Videos In Online And Hybrid Courses, Paula Jones, Kim Naugle, Maryann Kolloff
Paula Jones
Students report that they feel somewhat disconnected from a course when they take a course online or when Web-supported instruction replaces the face-to-face class meetings. The challenge in designing Web-supported courses in any discipline is for instructors to establish their “teaching presence” with their students.
Students' Perspectives On Humanizing And Establishing Teacher Presence In An Online Course, Paula Jones, Maryann Kolloff, Fred Kolloff
Students' Perspectives On Humanizing And Establishing Teacher Presence In An Online Course, Paula Jones, Maryann Kolloff, Fred Kolloff
Paula Jones
The challenge in designing and developing online courses is for faculty members to establish their teaching presence by humanizing the online classroom experience for their students. The authors use the community of inquiry model developed by Garrison, Anderson, and Archer (2000) to examine the attributes of teaching presence in an online course. This study then evaluates students' perceptions relating to the significance of producing a video for an online course that introduces the instructor to students and see if a specific introductory video will help to establish the instructor's teaching presence for the students. The data collected from this study, …

The Library, Federal University of Technology Owerri like every living organism has undergone series of metamorphic growth and development since its establishment in 1981. It has experienced traumatic and exciting movements. There have been three successive management changes; structural expansions and changes, monumental growth and expansion in resources, operations and services; dynamism in the type and number of users as well as increase in the capacity and number of staff. The most striking transformation is in the area of adoption of Information and Communication Technology in library operations and services. After 23 years of documented information on the management, operations, …
Creating Pedagogical Agents As Social Models In An Online Learning Environment Mathgirls, Yanghee Kim, B. Xu, A. Sharif
Creating Pedagogical Agents As Social Models In An Online Learning Environment Mathgirls, Yanghee Kim, B. Xu, A. Sharif
Yanghee Kim
This paper introduces the learning environment MathGirls for high school girls learning fundamentals of algebra. Grounded in social cognitive theories of learning, MathGirls utilizes pedagogical agents to create a girl-friendly virtual learning environment. The design constituents of pedagogical agents are reviewed. These constituents are likely to influence building agent/learner relations. The agent design and system architecture of the MathGirls environment are developed to integrate some of the design constituents. Empirical findings from MathGirls deployment in classrooms support the efficacy of the presence of pedagogical agents in shaping affective and cognitive characteristics of the learner. The paper concludes with the discussions …

Approaches To Case Analyses In Synchronous And Asynchronous Environments, Trena M. Paulus, Gina Phipps
Trena M. Paulus
Computer-mediated communication (CMC) tools can be used to integrate time-intensive tasks, such as case study analyses, more easily into the teacher education curriculum. How students talk together online for learning purposes in CMC environments is an area that has not yet been thoroughly investigated. This paper extends findings from a previous study by comparing two groups of four preservice teachers analyzing cases in a synchronous and asynchronous environment. A case study and computer-mediated discourse analysis approach was taken to make sense of the discussion transcripts and participant reflections. Booth and Hulten’s (2003) taxonomy of learning contributions is used as an …

Instructional Design Methods Integrating Instructional Technology, Paula Jones, Rita Davis
Paula Jones
Effective teaching begins with effective planning of instruction. Planned instruction with technology integrated appeals to students and accommodates students’ needs. Students expect technology to be utilized to support the learning process because of their acquaintance with a variety of technologies at a very early age. Educators must be aware of the needs and expectations of students and then design courses that integrate technology based on these identified needs and expectations. A critical element required to integrate technology into the learning environment successfully is the instructional design process. The instructional design process provides a framework for systematically planning, developing, and adapting …

In the world of online learning, instructors look for the keys that open the door to student learning, engagement, satisfaction, retention, and ability to transfer newly acquired knowledge to real-world situations. One of the most common communication tools in online courses is the threaded discussion. With a growing number of students participating in online education comes the potential for an increase in faculty load. The reviewed courses provided over 1500 threads for two sections of a graduate course at a Mountain Region University. The number of threads that are produced by a student accounts for countless hours of reading, processing, …

Rounds, Levels, And Waves: The Early Evolution Of Gameplay Segmentation, Jose Zagal, Clara Fernandez-Vara, Michael Mateas

This article explores the early evolution of the structure and management of gameplay in videogames. We introduce the notion of gameplay segmentation to capture the role that design elements like level, boss, and wave play in videogames, and identify three modes of segmentation. Temporal segmentation limits, synchronizes and/or coordinates player activity over time. Spatial segmentation breaks the game’s virtual space into sub-locations. Challenge segmentation presents the player with a sequence of self-contained challenges. We describe each mode, and additional sub-modes, by analyzing vintage arcade games. Our analyses illustrate how these games represent a “primordial soup” in which many current game …
