Course Description:
“Internet
Applications and Distance Education” will focus on innovative, effective and
manageable application of the Internet and distance education technologies to
the classroom. The primary emphasis will be integrating Internet resources,
distance education and related activities into the curriculum. Several class activities will involve the development
of materials for use in the classroom (K-12, adult education or higher
education). The course includes Internet searches, e-mail and distribution list
development, web site utilization and development for the classroom, and
distance education planning. The class specifically includes the use of the
following: the Worldwide Web, Netscape, e-mail functions, and comparison of
several Internet search engines, and basic web page and web site development.
Some experience with Mac or IBM-compatible computers helpful; no knowledge of
programming is needed. http://cu.classroom.com, http://www.fordham.edu/gse/kpking/kpkedu.htm (Dr. King's resource pages), http://www.fordham.edu/gse/kpking/ctge5912_601.htm
Course Format:
This class is offered in a hybrid model of
face-to-face sessions and online study. This means that we will have nine
classes in-person and six classes online. You will be able to do your work
online (on the Internet), anytime, anywhere you have Internet access. You do
not have to meet with us online at a specific time, but you have to go online
to follow the course instructions, complete assignments, and share in the
discussion. This format will allow you to experience distance learning
first-hand and also provide in-person support. This is an exciting experience
as you learn about distance education from both the teacher and learner
perspectives.
