My tutorial choice:
http://www.nt.sympatico.ca/Contents/Health/REV_HTML/R4716.html

The above URL is a tutorial on basic health. Specifically, I was interested in this URL because of personal health problems. I found this website to provide a vast amount of links and other resources. It was very readable as well as easy to use. When comparing this tutorial to the tutorial we were required to read on web-based instruction, my website has less narrative and provided more links. The website I found was in more of a bullet-point format, providing its readers with many resources and links to other websites and information related to healthy living and health issues.

The tutorial we were required to read I found to be very user-friendly. It has a great deal of graphics and color which keeps the format interesting and exciting. I liked how it provides readers with different paths and options to follow when reading its content. It provides many links and resources for readers to view. However, I found it a little deceiving that the fast track option and/or path was not very fast-paced. It still takes a great deal of time to read through the entire content of the tutorial when using the fast-track path.

Professor Levin,

I thought the tutorial: Harnessing the Power of the Web: A Tutorial, was a very well organized web site. I particularily liked the way it marked the most important points or sections to read. The different examples of internet projects and types or ways to assess them were the most helpful sections for me. In general though, the website definitely seemed to cover all of the bases.

Since math is my specific domain, I went to the University of Illinois MSTE website to search for a math related tutorial. There were quite a few to choose from. The one I looked at is:

http://math.rice.edu/~ddonovan/Lessons/eratos.html.

This website is a lesson on how Erasthones found the diameter and the circumference of the earth. In this tutorial, the objectives, materials needed and background are given. The actual activity involves finding a student in a different part of the country about 787 km away that can be contacted via email. These two students then work together to complete the same type of experiement that Erasthones did to figure out the diameter of the earth.

I enjoyed reading the above tutorial on Erasthones. The website was very organized, and easy to follow.

Dr. Levin,

One of my interests in education is in math. Therefore, I focused on math tutorials for children in elementary school. I found a really cute one at http://www.cs.rice.edu/~sboone/Lessons/Titles/pizza.html. It's called the Internet Pizza Server. In this tutorial the children are to go into groups and order a pizza that is the right size for the group, calculate its area to see if it is a good deal for the price, and then "pay for it" with a special currency. The children are learning concepts of algebra and geometry.

This tutorial follows a lot of the suggestions that are included in the "Harnessing the Power..." tutorial. It includes a narrative at the beginning that tells its beginnings, who it is for, and what it teaches. The design of the tutorial is very easy to follow and is fun for the kids, which should keep the children interested in learning the objectives. It's also very nice for the teachers too, because it offers a list of questions that are relevant to the objectives, and could be used for discussions.

Thanks,
Lisa

Subject: EdPsy387 Assignment #1

Dear Dr. Levin,

...as for the "Harnessing the Power of the Web", I disagree with its organization and structures in several ways because:

1. I understand that this site is for novices of use of computer itself or of internet as a resource. When such novices access this site, they may or may not know the meaning of colored bullets and how they work. Thus, "Menu Bar Legend" should be on the top of the index so that such beginners could understand their meaning and be well guided.

2. The most frustrating thing for novices on the web is not be able to go to the right site and get any information at all about the topic which they wanted to know. To avoid this situation, the organization of web sites for beginners should be as simple as possible and well-guided. Thus, on such web sites, it is the most effective way for novices that they are guided by any type of remark (e.g., colored bullets) directing to a series of page of very basic, then they are given several choices to go based on their preference. >From this point of view, on "Harnessing the Power of the Web", http://208.161.180.245/ISk12mac/gsh/harness/index.htm is the best page to begin, not http://208.161.180.245/ISk12mac/gsh/harness/contents.htm. The latter page may be unnecessary. Such novices might be confused to be linked to lots of layer of similar pages and get lost their interests because they couldn't reach the page which they wanted .

3. There were a few wrong connections when I used green bullets as a guide (e.g., from http://208.161.180.245/ISk12mac/gsh/harness/reform/index.htm#begin to http://208.161.180.245/ISk12mac/gsh/harness/reform/strategy.htm#begin).

4. Then, I noticed a big problem about it's appearance. The fonts which are used there are too small. They should be bigger so that persons who have difficulties with looking at small letters can also enjoy the site.

Lastly, I would like to introduce some tutorial sites which I think interesting. I used Netscape, Excite, Infoseek, and Lycos, using "computer AND use AND tutorial AND older adults OR the elderly" as keywords (except Lycos because no result came out when I used those word as keywords. Therefore, I used "computer use in continuing education" as keywords).

I prefer Infoseek, since the results which came out were fit to what to be expected. Among all sites, I chose the best two from my point of view about continuing education of older adults. They are:

1. http://olt-bta.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/info/online/oldneeds.html Description: In 1996, a survey was carried out to locate needs of adults aged 55+ years. Although most of the participants had higher education than average for their age range and had used computers, cost of equipment and training, lack of experience and familiarity, lack of physical access, and lack of time were identified as major barriers to use computers. Comments: Knowing such major barriers are especially important for me who wants to be involved in older adults-computer relationship. To find what resources are available and necessary for the elderly, this site can not be omitted.
2. http://olt-bta.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/learning/practie.html#GENERAL Especially, http://olt-bta.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/learning/practie.html#WEBTOOLS and http://olt-bta.hrdc-drhc.gc.ca/learning/practie.html#WEBCOURS Description: Here we can get many nice tools and examples to construct individual web pages. Comments: I came accross this site on the same directry of the former site. As I am completely novice of creating web pages, this site gives me a lot of valuable resources.

Evaluation:

In fact, this link is a paper, describing "the design and development of a prototype version of an interactive, on-line WWW package", instead of a tutorial on overall use of web in education. I found it both provocative and interesting since:
1. It describe the whole procedure on the building of a educational web based project, including background, design features, implications and etc;
2. It includes some theoretical base (such as Educational Rationale) as well as the practical composing of web;
3. The contents of the project is familiar with us. We can compare theirs project with UIUC's;
4. Its "Hypertext References" can easily lead us to other links we are interested in.

Thank you!

Subject: Introduction

I like the tutorial: Harnessing the Power of the Web. The first page provides readers with a good picture of the whole content. As readers move on, the content divides into top and bottom of the page so that readers are able to connect the point they're reading to the whole picture. This website also gives a special attention to the nonlinearity of the web. It suggests next most appropriate readings.

I spent several hours in searching another introduction to educational uses of the web. I used the search engines such as yahoo, excite, and infoseek. I used the phrases such as computer uses in education, introduction to educational uses of the web, and internet tutorial. However, I failed to come up with websites better than the Harnessing the Power of the Web. Anyway here is the website that I find certain value in it. http://weber.u.washington.edu/~zald/webclass.html It introduces educational resources on the web. It is useful for a workshop in which information needs to be reduced to a manageable amount.

Hi Prof. Levin,

The tutorial URL I found for the class assignment is
http://w3.aces.uiuc.edu/AIM/scale/tutorials/fc/ .

This is a tutorial about how to use FirstClass. The FirstClass is a software interface designed to facilitate a user to communicate with other users (classmates, TA's, profs) electronically. I selected this tutorial based on the following considerations: 1) FirstClass is widely used on campuses for professors to organize class discussions, so a good tutorial about it would be necessary to meet the needs of the current users and prospective users. 2) Among all the tutorials about FirstClass within my knowledge, I think this one is the best. It is quite intuitive and easy to follow. Covering almost all key techniques, it leads a user from getting started to advanced capabilities step by step. It also provides an Index and the text-only version of this Tutorial, and lay out the FAQ.

Hello,

I think "Harnessing the Power of the Web: A Tutorial" is an excellent tutorial for teachers who plan to use the internet for their classes. From planning a web page for their classes to evaluating it, the tutorial provides many key points that teachers need to know. A tutorial that I looked at was "A Beginner's Guide to HTML" from NCSA (http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimerAll.html). It contains some basic information of creating web pages, such as how to arrange paragraphs and images, and trouble shootings. It seems well organized and simple enough for beginners to understand some basic rules of html by showing some output of the codes. When I created my web pages, I didn't know html grammar because I used a tool program for web pages. By reading the simple tutorial, I can understand some Web languages even though I cannot remember all codes listed. This tutorial was introduced as a part of "Harnessing the Power of the Web". While the "Harnessing.." tutorial is focusing on rationale and examples of web design in educational field, the "Beginner.." tutorial explains the component of the HTML language.

See you in class. Bye.

It provides explanations about the tourism resources and guides of Illinois. This web-site is composed of simple and clear descriptions, and many links which lead the users to have a image of Illinois through a lot of information, useful maps, and beautiful pictures.

Hi,Mr.Levin:

This is the tutorial web I found- <http://www.pscw.uva.nl/sociosite/TOPICS/Research.html>http://www.pscw.uva.nl/sociosite/TOPICS/Research.html

This a web site for statistic. The reason for I chose it is that I am learning statistical method right now.I found it is quite useful for me to learn some concepts. This web covers a lot of information, but the way its organized may confuse users. Learning statisics is sequential from esay part to harder part,but it doesn't tell user the better oder to learn. I think that people may get confused when they try to learn from it. So, it will be better if the author write a brief introduction to the purpose and contents for this page.In addition, set up sequential sublabels for a speisfic statisical method!
