4. Reusable Learning Objects

• Learning Objects are small or large resources
  that can be used to provide a learning
  experience. These assets can be lessons, video
  clips, images, or even people. The Learning
  Objects can represent tiny "chunks" of knowledge,
  or they can be whole courses.

9. Tablet PCs Finally Taking Off  (Wired News,
Sept 28, 2003)

• And while Promisel said there will be a consumer
  market for tablet PCs -- such as college students
  taking them to class for note-taking -- what
  really needs to happen for the tablet PC to take
  off is the development of new software
  applications for corporate customers. predicts
  that in 2003, a total of 500,000 tablet PCs will
  be sold around the globe, which represents about
  1 percent of the total portable PC marketBut, by
  2007, IDC forecasts that the tablet PC could
  account for well over 20 percent of the portable
  market.

• I quickly found the standard production-based
  methods for creating and delivering engaging
  e-learning content were not sufficientwe
  discovered the Tegrity WebLearn solution for
  on-demand and live e-learning.
• once they are recorded, the lectures can be
  reused in subsequent classes or stored as
  reference materialsI now have 100 of my
  lectures ready for the next time I teach this
  class. (On Demand Lectures Create an Effective

schoolers take courses on the Internet.

• Students and teachers alike are drawn to the
  online classes because of the flexibility they
  provide. Anna Coppola taught at Sarasota High
  School for about a year before switching to FVS,
  and she prefers the virtual classroom..
• Her students are less afraid to ask questions
  online, and, because they don't have any time
  constraints, they do well.

Herald Tribune, Nov 14th, 2003Students clicking

28,000 in 2003)

• "I was shocked at the quality of work they do,"
  Coppola said. "A lot of them e-mail me with
  questions."Still, some educators, policy-makers
  and researchers are skeptical of what they see as
  exaggerated claims about online learning. And
  they worry about what is lost when students do
  not meet face to face with their classmates and
  teachers.

• Deborah Sutton, technology director for the
  Missouri Department of Education, noted that
  ed-tech funding from her state's legislature has
  quickly declined to nothing. Schools in Missouri
  have received 15 million per year for
  educational technology since 1994. In 2002,
  funding was cut in half to 7.8 million. In 2003,
  it was zero.

2. Real World Internships and Field Experience
Job Interviews

• Field Definition Activity Have students
  interview (via e-mail, if necessary) someone
  working in the field of study and share their
  results
• As a class, pool interview results and develop a

Foundation Edutopia)

• Asks a guiding question or poses a problem that
  each student can answer (e.g., What do nocturnal
  animals do while were sleeping?)
• Involves in concrete, hands-on experiencesfiled
  trips, experiments, posters, presentations
• Asks students to investigate issues topics
  addressing real-world problems (in-depth)
• Fosters abstract, intellectual tasks to explore
  complex issues (e.g., make judgments, interpret,
  synthesis, etc.)

7. Just-In-Time-Teaching

• Gregor Novak, IUPUI Physics Professor (teaches
  teamwork, collaboration, and effective
  communication)
• Lectures are built around student answers to
  short quizzes that have an electronic due date
  just hours before class.
• Instructor reads and summarizes responses before
  class and weaves them into discussion and changes
  the lecture as appropriate.
