Dr. Ian Forristal EffectiveUtilization of WebCT: Teaching of Undergraduate Organic Chemistry at KFUPM Showcase: Wednesday 9th February, 9.00 am
My Objective “To highlight how specific WebCT functions can be employed to monitor the utilization of E-Learning material”
Overview • E-learning material developed • Organic Chemistry • How to ensure effective utilization • Monitoring using WebCT • Conclusion
Background “The Teaching of Organic Chemistry is Highly Dependent Upon the Representation of Molecular Structures”
Adopted Teaching Strategy Traditional Methods Complimentary Online Material
Organic Chemistry • WebCT was used to deliver: • Online Review Questions • 2-D Multi-Media Animations • SMART Board generated digital color lecture notes
Web CT Quizzes • Formative Assessment(not formally assessed) • Comprehensive and Immediate Feedback • for both Correct and Incorrect Answers
The Key Question How do we ensure that our E-Learning Material is DeliveredEffectively to our Student Users?
One Important Solution Effective Monitoring
Monitoring 1 • Quizzes can be monitored using built in features of Web CT • Deadlines set for submission • Submissions recorded and stored by WebCT • E-mail sent to instructor
Monitoring 2 • Student Questionnaires • Designed with Respondus then uploaded onto WebCT • ProvideEssential Feedbacknecessary forImprovement
Monitoring 3 • Animations and other independentE-Learning Tools are more difficult to monitor • UseCONTENT MODULErather thansingle page tool • Use TRACK STUDENTSoption
Conclusion “Effective Monitoring of Assessment / Learning Tools can be achieved by using the “Built-In” features of WebCT”
