WEB- BASED TRAINING

1. WEB- BASED TRAINING Chapter 4 Virginija Limanauskiene, KTU, Lithuania

2. Objectives • To provide participants with the understanding of the e-learning role in new economics • To give the knowledge and know-how to design the powerful training • To give skills to create the web-based training classroom or course

3. Contents • E-Learning • Tools • Powerful Training • Planning and Design • Production • Online Learner Assessment • Implementation (case study) • Course Evaluation

4. E E-Learning.Use of Educational Technologies The layered framework integrates a bottom-up view of information technology usage  and a top-down view of  education.

5. E-Learning. Delivery The delivery  is the  transmission of  educational materials between learners, teachers and providers. The technologies  supported delivery of material are: • CD-ROMs, • computer networking • Internet Media Information technology supports these types of physical media: • text, • 2-D, 3-D graphics, • animation, • digital audio • digital video, • virtual reality

6. E-Learning. Communication modes

7. Tools • Viewing tools • Development tools: • Common web-publishing tools • Integrated distributed learning environments( multimedia information presentation, collaboration tools, management tools)

8. Powerful Training • E. training accomplishes specific objectives relevant to participants' success. • E. training meets those objectives without wasting time and energy. • E. training attracts and involves learners and incorporates their experience into the learning. Four components required for effective instruction:  • Information presentation • Learner Guidance • Practice with Feedback • Learning Assessment

9. CASE STUDY:Content of the course package • Web based services for learner: • Online learning material • Online learner assessment • Tutoring • Case studies • Discussions and chat http://elinara.ktu.lt/courses/eurolw

10. CASE STUDY:The Mediaand Learning Tools Used • Original on-line Web-based learning environment is used • Virtual classroom is based on the dynamic course content publishing using CGI • Main parts: a library, administrator’s room, teacher’s room, student’s room, café • Three languages is supported ( English, Estonian, Lithuanian)

11. Design Process • Analysis (planning):project plan, needs assessment, audience analysis,content/task analysis,technical analysis and authoring/media tools selection, set learning goals and structure • Design:learning objectives,instructional strategies and lesson designs,interaction design and media treatments, evaluation design • Production and Pilot testing: media production/sourcingprogramming/coding, authoring and integration of media elements, pilot testing (field trials) and revision as needed • Implementation:students’ learning, reporting • Evaluation:learning and effectiveness evaluations

12. Planning and Design.Presentation structure and storage structure

13. Planning and Design.Hierarchical Structure of information

14. Planning and Design. Storage structure

15. Planning and Design.Structure considerations

16. CASE STUDY: The student’s premises of web-based classroom.

17. Production Multimedia production: • Pictures • Sounds • Animation • Video • Virtial reality Example of simulation created with Macromedia Flash

18. Online Learner Assessment. Test example

19. Online learner assessment. Example of Test Tool interface The learners manipulate with the multimedia objects and create learner-generated   answers.

20. CASE STUDY: Test tool

21. The Web-Based System in Action • The server is a computer • The server holds information (learning material) and directs communication • Client is the program (browser, e-mail) • Student use the client program to ask the server for information • Student and teacher use the network to connect to the server

22. CASE STUDY: Test Creation

23. CASE STUDY: Test edition

24. CASE STUDY:Course Administration • Each student belongs to some group during course delivery tour • Students group is attributed to some teacher (tutor) • For the course management administrator’s tools are used • Site services (Guides, information about modules, registration for the course, contact information) are available

25. CASE STUDY: Learners’ Registration

26. CASE STUDY:Tutoring The course requires tutoring. Tutors (teachers) must be trained. The tutor has a responsibility to guide a learning of the one group. Teacher uses the tools: • for learning material loading into library • for course content adaptation for group • test preparation in portfolio • test adaptation for group • test assignment for students' group

27. Evaluation Types of system evaluation • The platform and software used • The effectiveness • The impact of a learning system on educators and students • The efficiency • The usability • The quality of the system Three simple questions: • What worked for you? • What did not work well for you? • Give three suggestions for improvement.
