Learner will be able to assess the technical aspects of eLearning in order to make sound decisions on whether or not eLearning is the best way to deliver instruction
Categories of Tech Specs Content Management Collaborative Multimedia Accessibility Delivery Security
Categories of Tech Specs Whiteboard Activity
Content Management Technology that helps learners, SMEs, and instructional designers develop, store, and retrieve course materials. (LMS) Examples: Cold Fusion, HTML, Metadata (i.e., SCORM), PDF, Scripting (e.g.JavaScript, VBScript), XML
SCORM Sharable Content Object Reference Model. Developed by the US DOD Goal: To promote cooperation among government, corporate, and academic institutions. It is a set of technical specifications that allow instruction to be shared in a standardized format that could be reused and moved from LMS to LMS with little to no tweaking. Easier to update over a period of time. (Example: Lockheed-Martin and US Air force)
Collaborative Technology that allows for interaction among learners and the facilitator. Examples: Application sharing, Audio/Video/Data conferencing,E-Mail, E-Rooms/Chat rooms (public/private), Instant Messaging, Webcasts, Whiteboards.
Multimedia Technology that “beefs-up” the learning experience. Examples: MIDI, MP3, RealAudio, SWA, WAV, Graphics/Image Maps, GIF, JPEG, Streaming/Data Compression, Video/Animation, Animated GIF, Flash, MPEG, Quicktime
Accessibility Technology that allows individuals with disabilities to access the instruction. Examples: Braille keyboards, Captioning, Screen readers, Specialized input systems
Delivery Technology that brings the content of the instruction to the learner. Examples: CD-ROM, DVD, Internet*, Intranets/LANs,Wireless/Mobile/PDA*
Security Technology that safeguards tampering with course materials or tests. Examples: Login/Password, Firewalls, Encryption (National Security Issues)
