This course will engage
students in electronic network-based learning activities
in order to help them learn how to organize and
conduct such activities with students and colleagues
in distant locations around the world. Students
will be expected to participate in an on-line
activity that has been organized by others and
conduct an analysis of that activity to inform
their own efforts in conducting and managing an
on-line instructional activity as a major course
project.
Students will be expected
to have easy access to the Internet and be able
to upload files to a web server and maintain a
web-based portfolio. Students will also need access
to a group of K-12 students (an intact class or
club group) who can serve as "local" project participants
as part of the on-line activities.
