Common Question I: Effective Instructional Strategies Please discuss three most effective instructional strategies integrated in your project. Please be sure to justify why they are effective instructional strategies. Remember instructional strategies are not your contents or "technologies," such as wiki, discussion board etc. It is the integrated soft technologies.
-
Indirect Study (ID) is very effective in the use of this project. The student can learn and review at their own pace and the instructor takes a back seat becoming a facilitator, supporter, and resource person. The student takes on the responsibility for their learning experience, and sets their own pace, and depth of study. This type of learning process is key when the learners are in their clinical settings. Independent Study (IS) is another effective strategy used in this application. Students are asked to review the content at home. Learners are purposefully provided opportunity to foster the development of individual student initiative, self-reliance, and self-improvement. In nursing clinical(s) such developments are required to become functional as a nurse. Direct Instruction also applies in the context of this project, as the selected websites, provide step by step instructions of where to listen and what is being heard by the learner. The repetitive methodology of this allows the learner to have modeled what they need to achieve. Most of the physical side of nursing is repetition until appropriate skill is achieved, be the techniques of starting an Intravenous site, or diagnosis of normal verus adventitious sounds.

Common Question II: Instructional Technology Please discuss the instructional technologies that you integrate into your lesson plan exclude your web sites/pages because they are the basic technology. Instructional technology is referred to hard technology in this question, such as discussion board, chat, wiki, blog etc.
-
I do not have a true discussion board assembled for this project. There is a Wiki based response area suggested for each page all connecting main pages, (not links), for comments and questions about the page. There is direction on the learning activities page for participants to dialogue on learning experiences and concepts. I added a Diigo book-marking page under the same name as the web site. As an overkill in the book-marking I also placed a link to delicious. At current retrospect I have probably set up to many locations to blog or chat.

Common Question III: Pitfalls Do you think your web-based lesson plan is effective and successful? Can you foresee any pitfalls in project? Please describe them.
-
To a point of showing students stethoscope placement, and giving a very basic auditory demonstration of what some anatomical sounds are, I think the lesson is okay. Certainly having so many places for students to write comments to would make tracking questions difficult. Futuristically I would use a better program to generate a web page, that better directs and limits wiki discussions, or blogs. With development of skill in using a web creation program I could greatly improve my project. I think a curriculum construction course would also be greatly helpful in understanding how to put it all together for proper presentation to all.
-
Another thought that just came to me it that the required textbook pages need to be a PDF and available on line. In the context here, I do not have the ability to create PDF, so I did not pursue it. I also believe I would have needed to obtain some permission of it use, so that also detered me from a possibly greatly improving piece to my project.
-
It is correct to have many places to have sutdetns to comment is difficult for instructors to track. Consider to have some management tools, such iGoogle to manage all tools we use. Using Web 2.0 tools and not use management tools could be difficult for learning and teaching.
-
I had not thought of it, adding gadgets would make some features really "cool" as the saying goes. I liked some of the youtube features others have, i am not sure what exists for nursing that would be appropraite. I need to look into it!

John, this topic is a hard one for many (like myself) but I think you underestimate how well your site is put together. I was pulled in to want to know more and I could feel the personalization, without knowing you well. Fine Job! Expert * Aim/Purpose The who, what, where, and why are answered on the Home Page - Mastery * Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan is very thorough. May want subtitles left aligned - Expert * Student Activity Page All links work - very understandable * Parent Page None; however a neat twist on this might be on taking care of/assisting needs of parents of the students. (elderly) - just a creative thought. Expert * Web Design - being a wiki, how did you design with your own color choice, no template... Expert * Layout -consistant throughout Expert * Navigation Consistant link back to Home at the bottom of all pages. Organized and flows. Expert * Graphics I love the humor. With such a technical subject, and one that is hard to be interested in if you're not, your choice of images/cartoons pulls me in to read more. (citations?) Novice * Accessibility ALT tag that describes the image and if it links anywhere - Expert * Fonts Clean and easy to read. Consistant throughout web site. Expert * Background Does not distract from design even though dark. Color-coordinated .Is your choice school colors? Mastery * Color Choices The 'norm' suggests that we don't do as you have; white on dark. I personally like it, but do notice that after awhile it glares at you. Expert * Spelling and Grammar All very professional. Novice * Copyright No copyright. Novice * Contact Information On Student Feedback only. No authorship on each page. -
