Not the Same Old Game
"Anything that can be done in the classroom can
be done on the Web. E-learning can be ordered
and delivered online, anyplace, anytime.
Students can take a course with them on an
airplane or to the beach in a laptop. They learn
at their own pace."
Elizabeth Tomaszewicz, president and CEO of Teach.com
E-learning is Just a Buzz Word
“E-learning is just a buzz word because it
is new. When they just call it learning, we
will know we were successful.”
Wayne Hodgins, AutoDesk Futurist
Overhype and Underhype
"This e-learning trend is being overhyped
today and underhyped for its impact on
our future. E-learning will become a
routine part of our lives in the future.”
Clark Aldrich, an analyst with Gartner Group in Stamford, Conn.

Arthur C. Clarke said...
Before you become too entranced with
gorgeous gadgets and mesmerizing
video displays, let me remind you that
information is not knowledge,
knowledge is not wisdom, and wisdom is
not foresight. Each grows out of the
other, and we need them all.
How are we doing?
At least 60 percent of American universities are offering some
course work online.
University of Pheonix - http://www.phoenix.edu/
90 campuses across the country

Web based learning
WebQuests

Build your world and meet
your neighbors
• The real power of the web is not in the
information stored online
• People are the real power of the Internet
– Mailing Lists
http://www.topica.com/
– http://edweb.gsn.org/lists.html
– Ask the Experts
Using the Web with Students
• Use it to support what you already do well
• Don’t reinvent the wheel
• Start with Kathy Schrock’s pages
http://discoveryschool.com/schrockguide/
• Pac Bell’s Blue Web’N
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/bluewebn
Designing Goal-based
Web Activities
• Design with goals in mind
• Who knows the content or motivation your
students need better than you?
• Working the Web for Education
http://www.ozline.com/learning/theory.html
• Filamentality
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/fil
• Web-and-Flow

Selecting the Activity
Selecting the Activity
• Openly explore a topic
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/China/hotlist.html
• Helping students acquire knowledge or getting
students to care more about the topic suggests
Treasure/Knowledge Hunt
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/BHM/hunt.html
• If you want to add affective connections try a
subject sampler
http://www.kn.pacbell.com/wired/China/sampler.html
Advanced Goal-based Design
• Reflective or metacognative writing
http://www.web-and-flow.com/members/awolinsk/migrants/reflector.htm
• WebQuests are the prototype for web based
transformational curriculum
http://edweb.sdsu.edu/webquest/webquest.html
http://www.ozline.com/webquests
• The first WebQuest published to general use
remains the standard. Searching for China by
Tom March

Pursuing Transformation
• It's not easy to prompt higher-order thinking
• Older students are no better prepared for
change than teachers
• Prompting transformative thinking seems an
unnatural act
• WebQuests are use a two stage process: first we
help students develop expertise, then we foist
them into a scenario that forces new use of that
expertise
Taking Off the Training Wheels
• As you use things like WebQuests you develop
your coaching skills.
• Teacher centric learning becomes student
centered.
• Focus on metacognition builds student skills
• Students become problem solvers and take
learning into their own hands as in the greatest
WebQuest I never planned
