  23. Guide for: • Planning, design and implementation of any effective distance education environment should be driven by clearly defined instructional needs and objectives, rather than by technology. • Build into facilities planning the potential for network growth, cost-effective expansion of services and technology upgrades. This is best achieved by sticking to technology solutions that are standards compliant that can easily be upgraded via software. “Don R. Foshee”

  24. Environmental Considerations Issues that must be addressed to ensure successful room configuration: • Acoustical requirements • Lighting requirements • Walls (paint) and Floors (carpet)

  25. Teaching from a Distance Mastering the Medium • Overview • Teaching Techniques • Overcoming Reluctance • Training the Teacher • Personnel Responsibilities • Factors for Success • Accurate data • Instructional Tools

  26. Distance Learning Overview • History of electronic learning • CODEC/Data Rate ? • Interaction and participative learning • The class and course- number of locations/students • Time zones • Group and individual projects • Videotaping- do it with control • The instructor - be yourself

  27. Teaching Techniques • Classroom configuration • Know the names • Generate interaction • Movement of teacher • Eye contact • Dress for TV class • Class Breaks • Instructional Periods • Multi-point locations • Audio add-in

  28. Teacher/InstructorTraining Extremely Important to your success! Use a Teacher Checklist • Two Levels to achieve C2: • Equipment- basic operation skills • Application Specific Training- teaching techniques and course transitions )

  29. Overcoming Reluctance To create a user/student response pattern, interactions must begin immediately. You may: • Conduct a “roll-call” • Use participatory exercises • Eliminate the passive observers, use directed questioning techniques • Schedule time for students to share experiences

  30. User Training • Extremely Important to your success! Use a Training Checklist. • Two Levels of Training: goal C2 • Equipment- what happens when I push the buttons or icons • Application Specific Training- presentation techniques

  31. Facilitator Responsibilities • Equipment support to teacher • Liaison to the teaching location • Receive, secure and distribute course material • Prompt student interaction • Administer exams or evaluations • Comply with network operations • Ensure students can use equipment • Not responsible for course content

  35. Teaching from a Distance Course Transitions • Steps to success • Graphic Considerations • Instructional Design

  36. Steps for effective Course Transitions • Step #1- discuss special requirements, view class • Step #2- review graphics and curriculum • Step #3- review display graphics (color, size and format). Can H.239 (People & Content) be used? • Step #4- conduct teacher training, the time required varies, let the teacher practice, use Faculty Training Checklist (we can supply this checklist upon request)

  37. Steps continued • Step #5- ensure all locations have classroom materials, text books, information and instructions • Step #6- ensure remote site facilitators know what you desire • For some classes conduct a practice teaching session

  38. Graphic Considerations • Print in landscape format • LARGE font size for text (center of page) • Use paper hardcopy, not plastic transparencies (flat blue color works well) • No more than 30 characters per line • No more than 10 lines per page • Check your graphics before class • High Contrast of text

The best teaching strategies are to be employed, if not, you will achieve bad teaching to more individuals quicker” Dr. Eddyth N. Worley, Washington, DC • Design a course with the e learning classroom in mind from design stage • Consider the testing process • Less time to deliver

  40. Lessons Learned • Formalize teacher training • Slight modifications (may be required) • Standard Operating Procedures- ensures success • Batteries • You should have: Teaching Contingency plan
