| B-13: WebCT Course Enhancements: Online Film Scenes, eExercises, and eCases | |||
| Detailed Description: | Multi-media technologies let WebCT course designers vary the content presentation of their courses. Online film scenes allow the inclusion in a course of film scenes to enliven the presentation of abstract concepts. Online experiential exercises (eExercises) use Web-based technology to present either self-assessments or situations such as ethical dilemmas to a student. Electronic cases (eCases) feature video enhancements that push students to consider key points and draw the student through a case analysis. | ||
| Presentation Format: | Showcase | ||
| Topic: | Enabling learning: Effective instructional practices and flexible design models | ||
| Target Audience: | Academic Technology Directors, Course Designers, E-learning Managers, Faculty and Other Instructors | ||
| Appropriate Audience Level: | Beginning or new users of WebCT, Experienced WebCT users | ||
| Abstract Text: | Multi-media technologies let WebCT course designers vary the content presentation of their courses. On-line film scenes allow the inclusion in a course of film scenes to enliven the presentation of abstract concepts. Film scenes for on-line use exist for organizational behavior, management, strategic management, and marketing courses. The presentation of the scene includes a brief film plot description, scene description and context within the film, and discussion questions. On-line experiential exercises (eExercises) use Web-based technology to present either self-assessments or situations such as ethical dilemmas to a student. The on-line presentation simulates the live classroom experience of traditional experiential learning approaches. Electronic cases (eCases) feature video enhancements that push students to consider key points and draw the student through a case analysis. Other enhancements can include streaming video visits to company locations and animated presentations of financial information. The student writes an analysis within the presented eCase, which she or he submits to a designated place such as the course instructor or a teaching assistant. Each multi-media element can occur within a virtual group if the on-line course has sufficient enrollment. A course designer's creativity will decide how she or he blends these elements in a single course. | ||
