Information Literacy
6
Information Literacy
  • Defining Literacy
  • literacy n
  • 1. the ability to read and write to a competent
    level
  • 2. knowledge of or training in a particular
    subject or area of activity
  • (OED, 2002)
  • The text for a CMC Online course can by
    anything from sounds to images to text! How do
    we write online? Distributed Learning CMC
    channels are highly mediated, and you get to
    design everything! We use sounds, images and
    text. This means we need to be able to design a
    message (recall SMCR) so the learning objective
    is accomplished. We need be knowledgeable about
    how to get/reference online resources and how to
    create online learning environments. This is
    Instructional Design.
  • First, we need to know how to find online
    messages

7
The Three Ls of Searching
  • Language use specific terms, and appropriate
    terminology for best results. Searching by
    phrases can be useful, as can paying attention to
    Capital Letters, and using wild cards.
  • Logic Read the help files for a particular
    search engine to determine how to translate
    Search logic into the particular dialect of the
    tool youre using e.g. Boolean, s and s,
    all/any of these terms, etc
  • Limiting Limit searching to a particular field
    title to find the good stuff fast image to
    find the images or URL/domain to restrict to
    specific kinds of web pages

8
Search Engines vs. Subject Guides
  • Search Engines are good for specific
    information, images, names etc. The indexes are
    updated monthly.
  • Subject Guides are better for exploring whats
    available on more general topics or subjects.
    Start here, and narrow topics down.

9
Search Engines
  • Northern Light http//www.northernlight.com
  • Tip Use as a wildcard e.g. instruct for
    instructors, instruction, instructional
  • Google http//www.google.com
  • Tip Use allintitle to limit the title use
    inurl to limit to a type of site
  • Tip Use this site to find images only, or Canada
    - only content.
  • Altavista Canada http//altavista.ca
  • Tip Search here to limit your search to
    Canadian sites
  • Tip some High school students are up on the
    latest and best search engine tactics (search
    engines are like VCRs, it seems)

10
Subject Guides
  • Library of Congress Subjects Search
    (fantastic)

Evaluating the Information / Resource
  • Check the address for clues - edu/org/com
    Academic Sites
  • Check types of domains at http//www.iana.org/gtld
    /gtld.htm
  • Check geographical domains at http//www2.iana.org
    /gtld/gtld.htm
  • Signed and dated is better than anonymous and
    ageless
  • Validity is an issue Is the source Credible?
  • Ask Why the site exists? (information/persuasion/a
    dvertising)
  • Refereed Journals offer the best source of
    information for academic work
  • Your library has an increasing array of online
    journals

Creating Resources that can be found.. authoring
  • Why some sites are easier to find than
    othershidden labels or tags in code
  • ltTITLEgttags
  • META tags
  • What you can do to help people find your material
  • watching the letter case in your tags - use the
    sensible case (?)
  • why its important to sign and date pages
  • How to find out who has linked to you (in
    Northern Light)
  • linkhttp//your address

14
Beyond Online Resources
  • Now that I know how to support instruction, what
    is the nature of the instruction that I will
    create?
  • Think like an architect, then like a builder
  • Think about Designing a learning environment
    (your Online project will be such a construction)

15
Instructional Design Considering SMCR as you
imagineand Build online Learning Environments
and Communities
  • The effective principles of planning and
    organizing teaching and learning
  • Concepts that are intuitively understood and used
    by instructors every day
  • Use of technology or distance education requires
    systematic and disciplined use of these
    principles.
  • Here are great links to the ID models that you
    will study in EDER 675 or 673 (with me!).. Just
    for the curious

One Instructional Development Model
17
(some simplified) Key Stages in the ID process
to consider when developing Online Learning
Architecture
  • Analysis Stage (hmm what am I into here?
    Figuring out the needs of the learners and the
    system that will deliver learning)
  • Analysis of the setting
  • Analysis of the student needs
  • Analysis of good practice / history
  • Analysis of the expected learning outcomes from
    this creation
  • Design Stage (creating plans for building the
    space)
  • Interaction types Which mode is best to
    achieve these outcomes?
  • What will the pacing be like?
  • How will sync and async events form the learning
    experience?
  • Which medium (computer) and applications might
    work best for my objectives?
  • Which types of Web based learning activities
    might accomplish the learning outcomes?

18
The Early (pre) Analysis Stage
  • What sort of beast am I looking at? Is this
    online environment (and the web) right for my
    teaching style and my students learning style?
  • A Learner (audience) Analysis will tell you.
  • What kind of student learning do I want the web
    to support?
  • Learning and Content Analysis will answer this
    question.

19
The Early (pre) Analysis Stage
  • Where and how will my students be able to access
    the web and its resources, access each other, and
    access the instructor?
  • A Setting Analysis will help you answer this
    question
  • What can the web do for me and my students?
  • A Needs Analysis will help you answer this
    question

20
The Analysis Stage - Setting Analysis
  • Where will my students be able to access the
    web, each other, and the instructor?
  • a) From a classroom
  • b) From one of the schools computer labs during
    a scheduled lab period
  • c) From the school library or an open computer
    lab
  • d) From home
  • e) Other? (cost of online connections.. Etc).

21
Analysis Stage - Setting
  • How will I use the web with my students? Why use
    the web?
  • Educational Models for the WWW
  • a) For Self-directed learning - the WWW is used
    as a stand alone learning tool for students (e.g.
    online tutorials and quizzes)
  • b) For Distance or distribution - the WWW is used
    only for dissemination of educational material to
    distance students, such as course descriptions,
    educational software
  • c) To Augmentation lecture - the WWW is used to
    complement classroom based teaching (e.g.,
    on-line communication tools, activities, lecture
    notes, assessment features)
  • d) Virtual classroom - the WWW is used with
    emphasis on collaboration and computer mediated
    human interaction (good design/redesign is
    critical)
  • e) What is the setting of the student? Have they
    the technical and knowledge base to engage in
    these resources? How much overhead will this be
    to them?
  • f) Remember Online resources that you do not
    author can move over time.

22
Analysis Stage - Needs
  • What institutional resources are available?
  • Student support
  • Financial support
  • Workplace
  • family
  • Instructor support
  • Technology/media support

23
Analysis Stage - Needs
  • Can the web be a catalyst to enrich and enhance
    the learning experience for my students?
  • These folks say flexible, just in time resources
    can empower learners
  • Seven Principles for Good Practice in
    Undergraduate Education (Chickering and
    Gamson, 1987)
  • http//www.hcc.hawaii.edu/intranet/committees/Fa
    cDevCom/guidebk/teachtip/7princip.htm
  • Implementing the Seven Principles Technology as
    a Lever (Chickering and Ehrmann,
    1997)http//www.tltgroup.org/programs/seven.html
    (you read this last week. Does it apply?)
    yes?
  • Seven Principles of Effective Teaching A
    Practical Lens for Evaluating Online Courses
    (Graham, Cagiltay, Lim and Duffy 2001) It all
    boils down to good teaching with a resource
    resource librarians have been onto this for years
    !!
  • http//horizon.unc.edu/TS/default.asp?showarticle
    id839
  • Whisper.. it can take more work to provide
    online resources for students The needs and
    capacity of the instructor are important too

24
Analysis Stage - Needs
  • Some Basic Principles of Good Practice that work
    in all online environs.
  • In an online environment, learners generally
    certain needs regarding instructional practice
  • 1. The environ encourages contacts between
    students and teachers
  • 2. The environ develops reciprocity and
    cooperation among students
  • 3. The situation employs active learning
    techniques
  • 4. The environ / instructor gives prompt feedback
  • 5. The instruction emphasizes time on task
  • 6. The instructor communicates high expectations
  • 7. The environ and instructor respect the diverse
    talents and ways of learning
  • Are these online needs only? no.

25
Analysis Stage - The Learner
  • Learner Analysis - Knowing the learning
    participants Guiding Questions
  • is my idea for an online environment age
    appropriate?
  • Literacy levels matter, attention spans matter,
    supervision needs, pacing
  • gender ratio - am I giving fair chance to both
    voices?
  • am I to accommodate full-time vs. part time
    learners
  • previous skills (computer literacy, independent
    learning skills, ) previous education
  • what is the relevance of this area of study to
    learners?
  • what are the known pre-requisites for this class
    or course (, time, space, machines)
  • what infrastructure do the learners have
    available Internet access ? Web space?

26
Analysis Stage - The Learning
  • Learning Analysis Student Learning and Outcomes
  • Personal Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI) try
    this with your students http//www.uiowa.edu/cen
    teach/tgi/index.html
  • This tool offers the learner a Self-assessment of
    instructional goals
  • b) Course or Program Specific Learning Outcomes
    Know the objectives and ask Can the learners
    achieve this? with adults, ask Is this relevant
    or real?
  • c) One example MRC College-Wide Learning
    Outcomes
  • - thinking skills - ethical reasoning
  • - communication - group effectiveness
  • information retrieval evaluation - computer
    literacy
  • Corporate environments can have very clear
    learning outcomes in mind. Designers match the
    goals with learners and settings.

27
Design Stage
  • What are the potential pedagogical strengths of
    a computer in the hands of a student, compared to
    other utilities?
  • Visualization
  • Communication -verbal, aural, textual
  • Collaboration
  • Organization
  • Problem Solving
  • Research
  • Calculation
  • "Doing it again thoughtfully
  • Repetition

28
Designing with the Web in mind Group Assignment
1
Breakout Session
  • Case Situation
  • Consider one university or K-12 course. You have
    been asked to think about converting this
    classical face to face course to an online
    environment. You know you will need resources
    from the web, because you cant afford the 40 -
    300 /hr development cost to make your own
    resource and put it on the web. What are the top
    5 considerations you have in framing this
    problem?
  • What are your ideas?
  • Individual Think (take 1 minute to generate your
    own list of ideas) Then I will connect you into
    audiographic sub groups
  • In 4 Person Sub-Groups (take 5 minutes to compare
    and add to your list)
  • Full Group (Take 10 minutes to generate a group
    list) and place it on the whiteboard.

29
Design Stage - Activities that work
  • Web-based learning activities
  • Posting instructional material to a common
    place gives a sense of community
  • places to speak synchronously can build a sense
    of community
  • Creating web based resource links for reference,
    on a theme (grouping resources)
  • Multimedia Elements (movies, sound interactive
    games, VR) help engage learners a lot.
  • Communication design
  • E-mail
  • Threaded discussion forums
  • Chat rooms
  • Interactive video forums
  • Audioconference sessions
  • Document sharing - living documents, chat,
    email audiographic whiteboarding
  • Journals - personal or shared reflections aid
    synthetic learning
  • Assessment opportunities - various, depending on
    the situation.

34
Fear not, gentle reader
Reference material Live Links
  • The creation of web materials is something that
    we do in full courses, as with Instructional
    design.
  • That said, we have experts in our class who can
    help you learn simple Composer page creation, and
    to ship your file to the acs server.
  • We have staff in the Doucette trained to help you
    and they are wonderful.
  • I will set up a special Centra session for those
    who need help on this lets see how this goes
    (Leo has a presentation too).
  • Lets take a look at the following reference
    materials first and see how it goes! Be patient,
    there is help all around. I learned this mostly
    from a fellow masterss student, who will always
    be one of my heros!

35
A simple concept -- we create a Web page as a
special format of file, And we place it where
the WWW can Get to it!
Drop your file onto A special server that
Connects to the WWW
The server deals with requests from the outside
world to see your file.
ftp
Create a page of stuff in Netscape composer Ie
Save as myportfolio.html on Your hard drive
The web carries only files of type .html Your
html files can contain pictures of type .gif or
.jpeg Or movies, or sounds

  • Using your FTP software (previous page ..
    WS_FTP, WebSling, Fetch) you can ship files if
    you access the server correctly her is how
  • Host Name ftp.acs.ucalgary.ca
  • Host Type username
  • UserID aix account (same as WebCT access)
  • Password - aix account (same as WebCT access)
  • Account (leave blank)
  • If you are using IE the path will be

39
U of C Web Site Address
Reference material Live Links
  • http//www.ucalgary.ca/aixusername/
  • Tips
  • Be sure to copy files into your public_html
    folder
  • Use of an index.htm file
  • File names on the web are case sensitive and do
    not accept spaces
  • Remember that graphic images (.gif, .jpg) are
    linked not embedded in your html pages they
    need to also be ftpd to the server
  • For permissions and other info refer to the
    following site
  • http//www.ucalgary.ca/it/web/personal.html

40
Export Tools
Reference material Live Links
  • HTML Export Tools - Issues
  • Examples - MS Word, MS Excel, Adobe Pagemaker,
    Composer
  • Because of the nature of HTML, many of the Export
    tools will produce pages with very inelegant HTML
    code. Sometimes they produce code that is not
    compatible across browsers. This makes a mess.
  • Export tools are useful in allowing a user to
    re-purpose existing material onto the web. They
    arent necessarily the right tool to use when
    building a web page from scratch, but they are a
    good start if you cant do HTML coding.
  • Westin Yoshimura is a genius at helping you with
    Netscape Composer, and he can help you a lot -
    (wyoshimu_at_ucalgary.ca)
  • Doucette Library call 403-220-6052
  • While the exports are getting better, there will
    probably always be a market for web editors,
    tools designed specifically to author web pages.

41
Export Tools
Reference material Live Links
  • HTML Export Tools
  • Microsoft Word will let you convert .doc .ppt
    files to .html (it is tricky)
  • http//www.microsoft.com/
  • Corel WordPerfect does the same for their word
    processor product
  • http//www.corel.com/products/
  • Adobe PageMaker does this too,

42
Web Editors
Reference material Live Links
  • HTML - Code Editors
  • Code Editors like HomeSite allow you to work
    directly with the HTML code. They automate the
    placement of code and assist in previewing the
    pages. They save you having to remember all of
    the different HTML codes and their various
    modifiers.
  • In other words, you need to know a lot less about
    web page making.. But this is still a lot more
    involved than Composer and ftp -ing it to the
    acs1 server.

43
Web Editors
Reference material Live Links
  • HTML - WYSIWYG Editors
  • WYSIWYG (What-You-See-Is-What-You-Get) editors
    like Macromedia Dreamweaver allow you to interact
    with elements directly on the page in a graphical
    manner, and produce the code behind the scenes.
  • We teach you this in higher edtec courses.
  • Most WYSIWYG editors will also let you modify the
    HTML code, and good ones will not try to correct
    your modifications.
  • Other examples of WYSIWYG editors are Adobe
    GoLive and Microsoft FrontPage.

Courseware Management and Development Environments
Reference material Live Links
  • For the most part, HTML editors still assume some
    understanding of how to structure a site, how the
    files and directories that make up a site relate,
    and how to build web page.
  • In contrast to these are a new breed of software
    which we call Courseware management
    environments
  • These are usually server side tools or servers
    which allow instructors to build online course
    materials without having to learning any html or
    even WYSIWYG editing tools.
  • With these, sometimes dont have to know Composer
    or HTML code. Just a lot of other stuff.
  • They usually provide some predetermined ways of
    interacting with students (static web pages,
    threaded discussions, chats, evaluations) and
    ways of building content using only a web
    browser, or at times some proprietary client
    software.

Principles of Screen Design
  • Making your information easy to see and learn is
    essential.
  • There are many web sites to help you do this.
  • The most important concept Clarity.
  • Use white space, white backgrounds are best, and
    make sure you can navigate back to home from
    every page, so no one gets lost.
  • See the next page for excellent links on screen
