Benefits of Web-Enhanced Courses • Courses use a more constructivist approach • Include problem-based learning activities • Allows participating students flexibility • Course can be more accessible and learning can occur • Faculty keeps the students in mind by making presentations simple • Technology can increase student success a • Encourage students and enlighten their learning
Impact of Web-Enhanced Learning • Wingard study • Assessed the impact of web-based enhancements on teaching and learning • First objective: identify faculty perceived changes in the classroom • Second objective: explore the insights of technologically experienced faculty • Qualitative study
Impact of Web-Enhanced Learning • Wingard Study Results • Survey results--Less change occurring in the classroom than interviews indicated • More than half of the faculty indicated student-student interaction remained the same after web-enhancements added • Half of the respondents indicated faculty-student interaction remained the same • Several faculty indicated there was an increased comfort level of the students • Positively influenced student engagement and learning in the class
Impact of Web-Enhanced Learning • Wingard Study Conclusion • Training faculty in the use of new technologies and ongoing collaboration will contribute to the effectiveness of the course • Relationship between disciplines and web use should be further explored
Conclusion • More research needed • More training needed
