Welcome to Session 2  Assignment:

 Week 2 

Search  for examples of integrated software systems available. What instructional systems are available to assist you in teaching your subject area? 

1. What do you notice about these systems?

2. What can you say about the tools used, the content? About the pedagogy? About the design features? About the examples and illustrations? About the assignments? About the evaluations? What assumptions are made about teaching and learning?

3. What is the relationship between the content presented and computer literacy needed in your institution?

4. What should be the definition of computer literacy for your institution and what should be the policy of your institution in delivering and evaluating student’s computer literacy skills?

Blackboard (adopted by the NC community college system)

Web-CT (adopted by ASU)
