EFFECTIVE ONLINE

LEARNINGAND OVERVIEW

Joshua M. Repomanta

Computers as Online Resource

“Computers improve both teaching and student achievement.”

Agree or Disagree?

Due to the myriad of benefits that computers have to offer, it has become not just an important household but an important tool in teaching and learning.

Internet as Channel of Online Resources

What is internet?Buzzle.com defines

Internet as “a network of computers that communicates via the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). The Internet allows people from around the world to share knowledge, ideas.”

Internet Based Learning& Online Resources

Internet Based Learning Main Goal: distance learning, materials for

standard classes Online Resources -defined as the available materials derived

or consumed using the internet. In education, the internet can serve as a repository of information and alternative media.

Factors of Effective Learningon the Internet (Bork, 2001)

What is needed to effectively learn through the internet?

NEW HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE?

There is no need for new hardware and software.

“Vast development of a new style of learning material is necessary.”

Factors of Effective Learningon the Internet

1. Learning Paradigmsa. Information Transferb. Tutorial Learning

2. Development of Learning Materials

CAN YOU THINKOF THE OTHER FACTORS?

Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet

Learning Paradigms

Information Transfer Paradigm-the primary job of students is acquiring

information-courses offering this strategy test primarily

on memory of information or processes

Examples:Lectures Video Online text Textual WEBSITES

Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet

Learning Paradigms

Disadvantages: Typical non interactive media, student

interaction is very rare Open book and note tests

are seldom given, sincememory is stressed.

Testing in large courses oftenten uses inferior tacticssuch as multiple choice

What should be done? Can you think of the advantages?

Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet

Learning Paradigms

Tutorial Learning-a skilled tutor works with one to three

students, in a highly interactive fashion

How?Often mostly asking questions or discussing

student assignment. Example: rarejob.com

(human/tutor-computer-student)

Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet

Learning Paradigms

Tutorial Learning

Advantage: the cost per student for computer based tutorial will eventually less than cost of traditional learning

Disadvantage: What seems to be the threat?

Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet

Learning Paradigms

Tutorial Learning-often for wealthy individuals.But, TOO EXPENSIVE for most learning.

But what is the case today?Computers can play the role of skilled

tutor at a very reasonable cost, with very large number of students.

Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet

Development of Learning Materials

TUTORIAL LEARNING+

INFORMATION TRANSFER

What is needed in creating, or at least pin pointing resources in the internet is the

combination of the two learning paradigms.

ONLINE STUDENT AND TEACHER SITES

SEARCH TECHNIQUES AND

SPOTTING RELIABLE ONLINE

RESOURCES

Jasmin Crismo

Search Techniques

1. Identify concepts2. Make a list of search terms for each

concept3. Specify logical relationships among

search terms using Boolean Logic

Boolean Logic

Much database searching is based on its principles

Often used to refine or set specific bits Uses operators: AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND,

NOR, NXOR AND: if and only if all inputs are on, output will

be on; output will be off if any of the inputs are off

OR: if any of the inputs are on, output will be on NOT: output will be opposite in state

Search Engines

Huge databases of web page files that have been assembled automatically by a machine

Compiles databases by Crawling Indexing searching

Search Engines

Usefulness depends on the relevance of the result set it gives back

Most search engines employ methods to rank the result – to provide the “best” result

Examples: Google, Ask, Gigablast, Yahoo! search

Search Engines

Provide access to a fairly large portion of the publicly available pages on the Web

Best means devised yet for searching the Web

Return too many responses to simple search requests

Many responses are irrelevant to the search

PROS CONS

Search Techniques

1. Identify concepts

2. Make a list of search terms for each concept

3. Specify logical relationships among search terms using Boolean Logic

AND OR NOT

AND, OR, NOT and Combination Search

Boolean AND Search Searches for Web pages that contain

both of the search terms Type the terms in the search box with a

space between them

AND, OR, NOT and Combination Search

Boolean OR Search Searches for Web pages that contain

either one of the two terms Usually used to search for synonyms

Type the terms in the search box with the word OR between them, or

use the advanced search page

AND, OR, NOT and Combination Search

Boolean NOT Search Retrieves documents that do not contain

a particular word Place a minus sign (-) in front of the word

you want to exclude

Combination Boolean AND, OR Search More complex than a simple AND, OR

search Best to try using an advanced search page

Phrase Search

Used for searching words that naturally appear in the context of a phrase Enclose phrase within double quotes, or Put a plus sign (+) in front of the phrase

Field Search

Title Field Searches for documents that contains

search terms in the title Use advanced search page

Site Field Limits search results to pages on

particular Web site Type search terms in the search box

followed by the word ‘site’ and then the Web site

Spotting Reliable Sources

Author verify educational credits Discover if writer is published in a

scholarly journal Verify if employed by a research

institution or university

Spotting Reliable Sources

URL .edu – most likely an educational institution

Be aware of political bias .gov – most likely a reliable government Web

site Good sources for statistics and objective reports Be aware of political bias

.org – usually non-profit organizations Can be very good or very poor sources Research for possible agendas or political bias Research if they exist

Spotting Reliable Sources

Online Journals and Magazines Should contain a bibliography for every

article list of sources within the bibliography should

include scholarly, non-Internet sources check for statistics and data within the

article to back up the claims made by the author

News Sources rely on the most trusted news sources, but

should not rely on them exclusively

FAIR USE GUIDELINES

AND THE APA DOCUMENTATION

STYLE

Kevin Christopher Cordoviz

Internet Plagiarism, Internet Source Reliability, And Internet Piracy

Concerns and Issues on Internet Use

Internet plagiarism Internet “copy-paste” info book reports,

research papers, etc. Making info appear as one’s own truth

Internet source reliability Degree of reliability of information on

websites

Checking Reliability of Information from Websites

1. Who is the source?2. What am I getting?3. When was it created?4. Where am I?5. Why am I here?• See if there’s reference list on webpage

Internet piracy through file swapping sites Illegal distribution of copyrighted material

bit torrents, warez, etc. Driven by

Cost of pirated materials: cheap, or free Unavailable original media in local setting/market

Fair Use, Copyright, and Copyleft

Cheap and alternative educational materials

Content experts enhance quality of such works

Unregulated content editing erroneous, or false information

Same title, different versions = citation headache

Advantages Disadvantages
