AESOP

Changing Environment

The sign of an educated man was how much knowledge he possessed

AESOP

Now...

The sign of an educated person is how he or she can find out what they need to know and

to evaluate it and to use it

AESOP

Do you find...

It is often easier to find something 1,000’s of miles away than 50 feet down the hall?

When you get it, it is in the wrong format?

When you press a navigation button it really isn’t?

You probably could make it work but you can’t alter it to fit your situation?

AESOP

Current Situation in Instructional Support Programs

Many great programs throughout the country

Excellent software being produced Teaching Centered Learning Centered Course Ware Support Remediation BUT....

AESOP

Problems

Most are developed in a unique environment, for use in a unique environment

Those that are designed for a broad audience are often single stand alone applications

Many are discipline specific and are tough to generalize

Many can’t easily fit a professors intent

AESOP

One vision

Develop an environment that plugs and plays interactive objects that have instructional support for:

Class administration, Class presentation, Class assessment, Class feed back and Cut across all disciplines.

AESOP

Could be...

A set of common definitions for that which we do,

A set of standards to which we develop,

A series of programs taken on by various institutions to fill in the gaps,

A setting of a common input and output architecture,

Testing of current applications in other environments with support for adapting it here or there.

applications

AESOP

Course Tool Objects

Management Learning Communication Developer Created Objects Object Security Support for using objects Standards

AESOP

Management

Automated grade book with student faces Automated ordering and trouble shooting system

over all the campus that even a faculty member can use

Automated grade sheets with electronic signatures More instruction collaboration and dynamic

building of groups and software, projects, resources for projects from every source

Whatever --- interfaces with administrative systems

Syllabus to the bookstore Facilitate administration for faculty

AESOP

Tools that track and send errors and use to developer and instructors

Automatically generated E-mail (grouped and dynamic)

Common test tools Updated learning communities, list serves, etc. Interfacing reserve with library and bookstore Gathering use stats (hits on field) Tools for recording, indexing, keeping track of

assignments

AESOP

Learning

Interaction of multimedia-text, images and data bases easily

Instructors tool kit for presentation (content drives presentation)

Basic tools, notebooks, etc. Tools for scaffolding learning

( reflection, connection, abstraction etc. )

Glossary builder with intelligent levels Sharing documents and editing

AESOP

Communication

Any application can access information off of the Internet

Standards to send e-mail from program to instructor

Link dynamic info in the net to a program , etc.

Apprenticeship- common way to design and manage those relationships, student work by and with them

Virtual group discussion with FAQ and Chat

AESOP

Developer Created Objects

Professors assistant forums- construct courses where pieces in graphics - collect info easily and use (FORTE)

Instructors tool kit for presentation (content drives presentation)

Management tool for collaboration Basic tools, notebooks, etc. Increase customize of prepared software Anybody draw and convert to simulations and models Tools that track and send errors and use to developer

and instructors tools for easy form generation -faculty and students Tools for recording, indexing, keeping track of

assignments

AESOP

Object Security

Security issues-software

AESOP

Support for using objects

AESOP

Standards

Involvement/collaboration in defining and developing standards– Involvement of faculty and collaboration with all of

these tools

Object standards– Common format for syllabi– Standard nomenclature for instructional situations,

searching, indexing etc..– Common set of buttons and actions and what they

are called– Distribution of images– Tools for navigation framework, personalized by

student or faculty members– Copyright solution
