Group 3 Evaluation: 5 Group Members: Melissa Carroll, Marta Herrera, Nasreen Wahid
Group 3 provided us with a very engaging introduction that set the tone for the paper. There is al a very strong definition of online learning, identifying both the positive and negative aspects. They presented us with a wide variety of stakeholders in online learning and the specific characteristics each much possess. A thorough explanation of the differing authoring tools that can be used in online learning was presented along with the elements of a CMS, which is currently the most used authoring tools. This group also presented a well thought out discussion of Web 2.0 tools that can be used effectively in online distributed learning to help provide a "student centered approach." They focused on the constructivist model of learning in online instruction and presented instructional strategies for exploratory, dialogic, and supportive environments. This groups conclusion tied back to their introduction and summed up all they had discussed within the paper.
