2	Today we will look at: PowerPoint Internet Conferencing Software On-Line Learning Electronic Whiteboards Computer Based Training Blended Learning
3	PowerPoint Pros and Cons PROS: Can provide visual and audio stimulation Easy to learn Fun Inexpensive CONS: Not interactive Easily over done Requires a projector in the classroom
4	Uses In the Classroom PowerPoint lectures posted on the web prior to class Embedded video of a place, item or event being discussed in class Highlight key points
5	Electronic Whiteboards- What are they? Two Kinds: Software Hardware
6	Software Whiteboard
7	Hardware Whiteboards Image is projected on the whiteboard Computer menus and buttons may be activated by touching the board Notes on the whiteboard can be printed out
8	Pros and Cons of Electronic Whiteboards (Hardware) PROS: Interactive Fun to Use Visual CONS: Extremely expensive Other methods can achieve similar results Perpetuates the teacher as expert rather than facilitator
9	Internet Conferencing Software Options Video conferencing File Transfer Application Sharing Chat Electronic Whiteboard Voice over IP conferencing
10	Software Options for Internet conferencing Net Meeting (free with Microsoft Office) PlaceWare (visit the demo here) WebEx WebEx (live daily demos)
11	Internet Conferencing: Pros and Cons PROS: Interactive Inexpensive Several different presentation types rolled into one product CONS; Dependent on Internet connections Voice communication works with only one person at a time Instructor requires technical experience
12	Computer Based /Web Training Advantages Interactive Frequent Testing Uses a range of stimuli to interest all learning styles an example is Just in Time Training (JITT)
13	Computer Based/Web Based Training Cautions: Too often used as a quick fix Needs to be properly evaluated before using Requires follow-up to ensure retention Customized CBT is extremely expensive
14	On- Line Learning Defined as ‘teaching and learning mediated by a computer’ (Illinois Report) Makes use of chat facilities and forums to provide interaction between students Forces student participation Saves transportation time
15	On-line Learning Pros : Cons: Course is fitted into the participants schedule Can be accessed from any internet computer Can be focused on the learner, rather than the instructor High learning curve, both for the instructor and the participant Easy to have your message misinterpreted Requires computer/internet access to participate
16	Blended learning
17	CONCLUSIONS: Move beyond Power Point and make use of the technology currently available to; Increase student retention Encourage student participation, thereby increasing their learning Cater to various learning styles Accommodate adult learner needs
