Study Notes

One-Way Television

One-way television refers to television delivery systems that transmit programs to students without interactive connections to the teacher.

Two-Way Television Systems

Two-way television communication systems allow audio feedback to the presenter using a device.
Talkback capability can also be added through a telephone.

Compressed Video

Compressed video uses technology to remove redundant information from videos.
This makes the video appear “jerky,” but it is cheaper to deliver than full-motion video.
Compressed video is commonly used for computer videos.

Video Distribution Methods

Schools can purchase individual CD/DVDs or borrow them from a consortium collection.
Video rentals are also an option.
CDs and DVDs can be viewed on individual computers or displayed for whole-class viewing.

Online Learning

Online learning (e-learning) delivers instruction electronically through computer-based media.
Materials are accessed through networks like websites, the internet, and intranets.
E-learning involves assisting learners with specific outcomes, such as meeting objectives.
It provides an interactive learning environment for students.
Students can actively participate through online discussions and other interactive activities.

Computers and Online Learning

Computers can deliver information in a variety of mediums (text, video, audio).
Students can communicate instantly with text, pictures, voice, and two-way audio/video.
This impacts traditional roles of educators and students.

Distance Learning

Teachers can be geographically separated from their students.
Students can learn from other students in different classrooms globally.

Blended/Hybrid Instruction

E-learning can be combined with face-to-face instruction.

Teacher Roles in Distance Learning

Distance learning requires more than simply transferring existing lessons to virtual platforms.
Teachers need to organize content that aligns with outcomes.
They must be familiar with available resources and student experiences with the technology.
Quality learning experiences are essential.

Essential Materials

Teachers may need to modify hands-on activities or make arrangements for materials to be sent to remote classrooms.
Teachers are responsible for ensuring equal access to essential learning materials for all students in collaboration with library media specialists.

Examples of Distance Learning Media

Audio: Audio teleconference, podcasting, audio recordings
Video: Television, vidcasting, online video, DVD
Text: Bulletin board postings, correspondence (email/mail), blog/wiki

Critical Issues in Online Learning

Security: Students must be educated about online safety and avoid sharing personal information.
Monitoring Student Use: Teachers and parents should monitor internet use to ensure appropriate behavior and discourage access to inappropriate content.
Acceptable Use Policy: Most schools have developed Acceptable Use Policies (AUPs) to guide internet use.
Netiquette: Informal rules for appropriate online behavior apply to email, texting, and other online communication.

Netiquette Guidelines

Keep messages brief.
Identify yourself clearly.
Double-check addresses or URLs before sending.
Include relevant portions of the original message when replying.
Think twice before sending anything you wouldn't want others to see.
Proofread for grammar and spelling.
Use lower case letters for text, except for proper names and beginnings of sentences.
Show sensitivity and avoid sarcasm.
Be cautious with humor and use emoticons sparingly.
Cooperate and share information thoughtfully.
Be aware of copyright restrictions.
Avoid obscenity.

Advantages of Distance Learning

Variety of Media
Up-to-date Information
Idea Exchange
Convenient Communication
Interactive Learning Environment
Extra/Advanced Resources
Remediation/Course Recovery

Limitations of Distance Learning

Inappropriate Material
Copyright Issues
Difficulty Finding Information
Lack of Support
Lack of Quality Control
Cost
Intimidation
Limited System Experience
Integration Challenges

Virtual Public Schools

Issues to consider:
- Credentials of the institution offering the degree
- Quality and rigor of courses
- Costs associated with online courses (equipment, online charges, etc.)

Connecting with Email

Email can promote writing skills by connecting students with “electronic pen pals” or “key pals.”

Integrating Webquests

A webquest is an inquiry-oriented simulation designed with specific learning outcomes.
Some or all of the information students need is available online.
Webquest Process:
- Introduction
- Task
- Process
- Sources
- Conclusion

Applying Webquests

Webquests can be used for various types of lessons and information sources:
- Monitoring current events (social studies)
- Science activities (tracking weather, studying space)
- Expository writing assignments
- Mathematics puzzles
- Online discussion groups
- Job bank and resume services

Website: A collection of web pages accessed through its address or URL (Uniform Resource Locator).
URL: Includes the name of the host computer (server), the domain, the directory on the server, and the web page title.

Course Management Tools (CMTs)

Blackboard, Moodle: Support online learning by providing resources such as discussion boards, testing options, and gradebooks.

Augmented Reality (AR)

Combines virtual data (documents, media, live action) with the real world to enhance what we perceive.
Can be used to add digital information to real-world objects.

Copyright Concerns
