Creating and Utilizing Online Courses and Coursework

Sunday, July 24th, 2005, 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Speaker: John Spiri (Akita International University)

This PowerPoint demonstration will start with the presenter explaining some of the applications of moodle, the free, open source course management system for online learning. Various online courses, including those created for the presenter's self-published textbooks, will be explained, critiqued, and discussed. These online learning applications will be contrasted with self-study websites available to students. Online self-published readers, with accompanying audio, will be explained, critiqued and discussed as well, with focus areas being materials development, pedagogical effectiveness, and computer-related issues. Weather permitting, this will be followed by a summer party at a beer garden.
