Subject: How much time spend on design and crearion 1h of on-line course?
Hello,
I've got a question concerning how much time have to be spent on
design and creation 1h of on-line course (average). I read an article:
K. Islam, "E-learning the Six Sigma Way", E-learningmag, 26 March 2003
where the author cited ASTD benchmark says 1h of on-line course 'cost'
200h of work...
What is included in such benchmark?
1) Installation and configuration:
a) server (LMS, Data Base, Operating System,...)
b) client machines (Operating System, Internet Browser, other
third-party products) ?
c) network (LAN, WAN)?
d) authoring software?
2) Design of a course ?
3) Creation of a course ?
4) Implementation of e-learning solution - especially internal
preparation: information action, trainings, user support, ... ?
I'm trying to understand the meaning of such benchmark - how should I
interpret benchmark results of each e-learning solution?
I'm looking for examples/results of other benchmarks - thanks in
advance if you can provide me such information.
Best regards from Poland,

I would recommend taking a look at the following and learning a bit
about each author before diving in:
1) The Children's Machine: Rethinking School in the Age of the Computer
Seymour Papert - Basic Books; ISBN: 0465010636
2) The Big Picture of Design Understanding By Design
Grant Wiggins and JayMcTighe and Assoc. for Supervision and
Curriculum Development; ISBN: 0871203138
3) Technology-Based Training: The Art and Science of Design,
Development and Delivery by K. Kruse & J. Keil
4) Computers as Mindtools for Schools: Engaging Critical Thinking
5) Constructivism and the Technology of Instruction : A Conversation
by Thomas M. Duffy, David H. Jonassen
6) Computers in the Classroom: How Teachers and Students are Using
Technology to Transform Learning : Instructional and Cognitive
Impacts of Web-Based Education by Beverly Abbey
Take a look at the writing of people such as Amy Bruckman, Seymour
Papert, & Elliott Soloway
Best,

I am interested in investigating computer literacy in developing countries. Can you please help me with pinpointing some areas of research worth some interest.I only know that, and I think that it's hardly aguable, people agree that educational technologies will provide a key to the resolution of the problems of education on a continent like Africa. How can the introduction of these technologies in countries where 99.99% of people are computer illiterate? What are the technical, cultural and sociological problems that can specialists in this can be confronted with?These are just some questions. I am sure there are many more others. I'd appreciate all contributions.ThanksAbdul
