Technologies appropriate for the design and delivery of curriculum Notes prior to the session: Curriculum:
Session last week: curriculum and DE issues K-10 Curriculum Framework Constructivist based learning theory Enquiry-based, problem solving; Student centred task-based learning engage and challenge, stimulate, motivate self-direct/self-pacing/self-motivating accommodating different learning styles and abilities interactive strategies integrate feedback self-motivated, reflective, competent learners continuity, coherence of learning Broad learning outcomes Develop and communicate ideas, information Access, analyse, evaluate and use information from a variety of sources Collaborate with others; Competent in use of a range of technologies
Cross-curriculum content ICT and information and communication skills assessment Delivery:
media -- print-based, graphical, auditory, multimedia, learning environments, how students experience, engage in learning - how students or DE teachers receive material: mail, across web, from server, print-based in hard copy or digital copy
Design
Development of materials: what you use to develop material is not necessarily the tools that are used to deliver eg print-based material Learning design: engage in learning resources, encouraged to ask questions, predict answers, check theories against results of practice, carry out own investigations, follow the research of others.
Appropriate:
Technology as a tool for achieving outcomes not the focus. Focus on the learning. Does the technology enhance, contribute to the learning objectives; Appropriate given cost including development time Issues of assessability, support and infrastructure required
Delivery: Learning design may draw on a variety of media to construct a successful learning situation. Text, audio, graphics (colour), animation, video, multimedia… Print-based, (delivered in hard copy or digitally --PDF on disk, online) Audio/video -- tape, or digital format Teleconferencing (audioconference) Videoconferencing Delivery via removable media (storage devices eg floppy)

Video (limitations due to file size) Animation Data (Flash) Bi-directional streaming Live streaming (broadcast) - less bandwidth because served once to all (e.g., a radio station broadcasting live on web) Stored streaming (audio/video on demand) - more bandwidth required: serving to each individual request (Uses: additional resources--interviews, stories, on-line radio in target language) Forms/feedback/Text Acrobat (PDF format), web page forms - eg on line registration/survey Annotations Acrobat (full version only for annotations) Sharing applications across the net: NetMeeting; Timbuktu
