Welcome to
Introduction to Instructional Technology
The next online session will run from May 28 through
June 14, 2002.
A second summer session will run from June 24 to July 12, 2002.
What is an on-line workshop like?
This is your opportunity as a teacher to experience what it is like to
take a class on line. This workshop has fixed start and end dates.
The
next session begins on May 28, 2002..
You may register online through the Anoka-Ramsey
Community College Center for Teaching and Learning.
The content of this workshop is presented in modules which include specific
outcomes, a main assignment, steps to complete the assignment, and assessment
of your work. Participating in the workshop requires you to practice
using the strategies and tools that the workshop is presenting to you.
To complete the workshop by the end date, you should plan to spend about
an hour a day on task. You choose the time of day that is best for
you to work.
This workshop is linked to a WebCT course site, so you gain experience
with the tools available in an instructional management software while
you explore new electronic teaching strategies. Throughout the two
weeks of the workshop you will not only work independently on your own
project, but you will also have the opportunity to interact on-line with
the workshop leader and other participants by e-mail, chat rooms, asynchronous
discussion, and online presentations of your assignments.

What is covered in this workshop?
In the paperless classroom, students and teacher use word processing, e-mail,
and the Internet to complete course assignments. In this workshop we will
discuss using the word processor and e-mail in class. We will practice
using the word processor as writing space, as teaching space, as a revision
toolbox, as a medium of collaboration, and as a desktop publisher. Participants
will respond to a sample student paper by using the editing tools and comments
feature in Word. We will also explore ways of using e-mail as a writing
space, as a conference space, as a classroom supplement and as a means
of asynchronous public discourse. This workshop is also linked to
a WebCT course site, so you gain experience with the tools available in
an instructional management software while you explore these new electronic
teaching strategies. Throughout the two weeks of the workshop you
will not only work independently on your own project, but you will also
have the opportunity to interact on-line with the workshop leader and other
participants by e-mail, chat rooms, asynchronous discussion, and online
presentations of your assignments.

What preparation should workshop participants
have to succeed in this workshop?
To have an optimum workshop experience, you should begin with a specific
course where you have already chosen to integrate technology with instruction.
It may be a course you teach in a traditional classroom as well as an online
course. You will need a personal computer with Internet access and Microsoft
Word 1998 or 2000. You should have experience with word processing,
Internet navigation, and e-mail.
