Greetings colleagues!
I am excited to be leading our latest discussion. You will find below the
html version of the pre-discussion paper on the theme 'Online Resource Page:
Using Technology to Enhance the Teaching and Learning Process'.
The HTML version of the paper is available at:
http://ifets.ieee.org/discussions/discuss_august2001.html
(HTML version also contains graphics)
In recognition of the fact that all students have unique learning styles,
the
University of Phoenix Online will soon begin the implementation of Csource,
an
exciting new product and the new standard for delivery of student and
faculty
materials. This product is a set of learning tools that are designed and
presented
in a variety of modalities in order to meet the needs of all learners. These
materials will be delivered via the Student and Faculty Web on a
course-by-course basis. To facilitate this strategic initiative, the Company
is partnering with a variety of publishers to provide content and other
ancillary services. UOP currently has partnership arrangements with Thomson
Learning, Pearson Publishing, McGraw Hill, Course Technology, and John
Wiley. Today, the University of Phoenix Online has 26,000 students enrolled
in their classes and 2100 faculty members.
Our discussion of the online resource page will begin by focusing on three
basic questions:
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of e-books?
- How does the Csource influence the classroom learning environment?
- How can today's instructors use the Csource to enhance online interaction?
I am looking forward to a dynamic dialog!
