Questionnaire Design - 0 views

  •  
    Questionnaires are an inexpensive way to gather data from a potentially large number of respondents. Often they are the only feasible way to reach a number of reviewers large enough to allow statistically analysis of the results. A well-designed questionnaire that is used effectively can gather information on both the overall performance of the test system as well as information on specific components of the system. If the questionnaire includes demographic questions on the participants, they can be used to correlate performance and satisfaction with the test system among different groups of users.

"Toolbox or Trap? Course Management Systems and Pedagogy" - 0 views

  •  
    Perhaps it is because I just spent three days in a vortex of design in Moodle after having lived in the WebCT/Blackboard Vista 4 world for a while that I feel some affinity for this article's premise. Perhaps. Still, the issue of a forced pedagogy in the 'CMS/LMS' is a reality and I wonder... just how do faculty go beyond surviving and reach "thriving" in eLearning who have no web design or learning design "skill"? Well, something to consider.

Technology Integration Matrix - 0 views

      This is a very nice rubric. It states that it is designed for K-12... can anyone think of what would need to change to apply to higher ed? On first blush it would seem the breakdown holds, but the expectations might be higher?
