Hello Ken,

If your school utilizes a course management system, you have this ability built-in. It sounds like the class is already organized into units, which is the hard part. You can then limit access to individual units only after the previous unit has been completed successfully. For example, the conditions for releasing unit 2 to an individual student may be a grade of 75 or better on the unit 1 exam plus having viewed each of the linked pages or participated in the discussion board for the unit.

If the student has taken the exam but did not receive a satisfactory grade, there can be additional learning modules and/or tutoring sessions that are required before getting a second chance at the unit exam or make-up exam.

I have also used programs like camtasia and captivate to record lectures delivered with SmartBoard technology. I edit these into short single concept flash movies that the students can view as often as necessary.  Follow this link for an example. http://www.evanfleischmann.com/ap/Hemaglobin/Hemaglobin.html

Hi,



In Wisconsin, we have LOTS of what are called learning objects that are on line.  I have my students view some of them because they are helpful in understanding some concepts.  The web site is:

My course is a traditional format, but I have created tutorials that go with it and sometimes assign them during class time to replace lecture coverage of a topic, or use them as class activities. They are online at http://faculty.alverno.edu/bowneps/index.html.



Hope this helps --

Subject: [HAPS-L] courses utilizing "pc" hubs

Is anyone involved with teaching any type of Biology course (preferably A&P) in which the course integrates lecture with self-paced pc-based auto tutorial lessons to reinforce the lecture material?  We are looking to develop a course in which pc technologies and traditional lecture materials get melded together.  Essentially all of the students could go to an open lab loaded with pcs and work on various concepts/homework problems/etc.  This is NOT an online course and it will NOT be a complete 3 hr lecture.  The students will meet for lecture a couple of hrs and then go to the lab.  This course will involve mastery learning, in which the student MUST be proficient in a given unit before they can move on to the next unit.  Thus they are forced to do their homework in a pc lab in the presence of tutors/instructors.  With traditional lecture courses or online courses, students obviously can be failing quizzes/exams but still move on to the next unit.  We are interested in mater
ials that would be out there (short videos, animations) that go beyond what the publisher will provide.  We are also interested in just finding out how the dynamics of the course works, if anyone currently teaches this way.  We are aware of a program called “MyMathLab” that utilizes this approach.  Does anyone utilize either their own homegrown version or publishers program that one could call “MyBioLab”



Thanks,
