Objectives
After this session, you will be able to:– Identify instructional applications of 3-5
online technology tools for your TRIO/ASPIRA program
– Identify resources that you can leverage to support the online learning objectives of your TRIO/ASPIRA program

Framework for Online Learning
Models for Use Areas of Knowledge Acquisition Meaningful Learning
ASPIRA Pre-Conference Technology Workshop 7
Models for Use As a supplement to classroom work
– Class projects, e.g., web research– Class discussions, e.g., book discussions
As a standalone class– Class-paced or self-paced– Credit or non-credit
Informal learning not associated with a course– Leisure activities, e.g., trip planning
ASPIRA Pre-Conference Technology Workshop 8
Areas of Knowledge Acquisition Internet/web as a tool to facilitate and
support subject matter learning, e.g., researching the web for a class project
Internet/web as a subject matter area, e.g., learning a web development language
A combination of the two, e.g, using streaming media to demonstrate the trajectory of a satellite’s orbit
ASPIRA Pre-Conference Technology Workshop 9
Meaningful Learning
Active – Learners manipulate or observe Constructive – Learners reflect on what they
manipulate and observe in order to form new mental models
Intentional – Learners have a goal. Authentic – Learning context is representative
of complex, real-world situations. Cooperative – Learners converse and
collaborate with each other and the instructor.
