Teaching with Technology: Online Modules

Emily Barton
EDIS7010 Final Project Checkpoint

Project Update
Teaching with Technology: Online Modules
Module 1: Copyright and Fair Use
Module 2: Technology Integration
The product from this project is a set of two online modules to try an
alternate delivery method for some of the Teaching with Technology course content.
Originally, I identified two topics, online communication and copyright/fair use. In
planning to module content, I elected to change the online communication module
to a topic with more static information. Likely, the modules will need to be updated
as new information becomes available. However, online communication is such a
rapidly changing landscape that the module could be outdated before its use in
September. I replaced online communication with a module on grounded technology
integration using activity types from Haris and Hofer (2009).
I began by developing the copyright and fair use module. That module is
currently out for user testing with a former Teaching with Technology student. I
asked her to give me feedback on the clarity of content and delivery method, as
well as the usability of the module (navigation etc.). The students feedback will
inform revision on the fair use module as well as the development of the grounded
technology integration module. The grounded technology integration module is
currently in progress and will go to another former student for user testing and
feedback.
