My Objective
““To highlight how specificTo highlight how specific WebCT functionsWebCT functions can be can be
employed to employed to monitor monitor the utilization of the utilization of
E-Learning material”E-Learning material”
Overview
• E-learning material developed–Organic Chemistry
• How to ensure effective utilization–Monitoring using WebCT
• Conclusion
Background
“The Teaching of Organic Chemistry is Highly Dependent
Upon the Representation of Molecular Structures”
Adopted Teaching Strategy
Traditional Methods
ComplimentaryOnline Material
Organic Chemistry
• WebCT was used to deliver:
–Online Review Questions
–2-D Multi-Media Animations
–SMART Board generated digital color lecture notes
Web CT Quizzes
• Formative Assessment (not formally assessed)
• Comprehensive and Immediate Feedback – for both Correct and Incorrect
Answers
2-D Animations
The Key Question
How do we ensure that our How do we ensure that our E-Learning Material is E-Learning Material is
DeliveredDelivered EffectivelyEffectivelyto our Student Users?to our Student Users?
One Important Solution
EffectiveEffectiveMonitoringMonitoring
Monitoring 1
• Quizzes can be monitored using built in features of Web CT
– Deadlines set for submission
– Submissions recorded and stored by WebCT• E-mail sent to instructor
Quiz Submission
Monitoring 2
• Student Questionnaires
– Designed with Respondus then uploaded onto WebCT
–Provide Essential FeedbackEssential Feedback necessary for ImprovementImprovement
Student Questionnaire
Monitoring 3
• Animations and other independentE-Learning Tools are more difficult to monitor
– Use CONTENT MODULE rather than single page tool
– Use TRACK STUDENTS option
Track Students
Conclusion
““Effective Monitoring of Effective Monitoring of Assessment / LearningAssessment / LearningTools Tools can be achievedcan be achieved by using the “Built-In” by using the “Built-In”
