Day Activity Description
June 23
Critical web evaluation

Look through these tutorials on web evaluation. Use the Web Evaluation Workbench to assist you in evaluating one of these web sites.

Post in WebBoard your evaluation of the web site you selected, and also your reaction to the Web Evaluation Workbench. Did it help you evaluate the web site? Would it help you to teach others to critically evaluate web sites? What could be done to make it a better tool? What other tutorials or other tools can help you teach others to become critical evaluators of the web?

Rich Multimedia

Go through Vanna Pianfetti's audio-narrated Powerpoint and her "Digital Video in Instruction" web site. (Note: the last 2 minutes of the Powerpoint are a blank slide and silence, so you can stop at 48:18. The sound from 39:15 to 39:58 is messed up - just ignore that 43 seconds of sound and read the Powerpoint slides during that time.)

Select some use of video or audio and embed it in a web page in an educationally interesting way. In WebBoard, post a description of what you did, the URL to the page, and why you think it is educationally interesting. This can be on your major project site, but if it doesn't make sense to put it there, put it on a separate web page.

June 26
Social & Policy Issues

Skim through the "White Papers" written by CTER1 students, revised by the CTER5 students, and added to by the CTER4 students. You will work collaboratively with a group to revise one of the papers. See the assignment in Week 4 about revising the White Paper assigned to your group.

June 29
Major project web site

Create a web page or set of pages describing your major project, and post the URL in WebBoard.

Examine at least two other students' major project web sites and respond in WebBoard giving them constructive feedback.
