Technology-integration lesson design

Subject: Computer Human Interaction/ Artificial Intelligence.
Grade Level: Computer Science Graduate students
Lesson Topic: Building an iPhone, iPad or android application. Student can choose any area.

Learning goals:
Apply several teaching styles to match a wider range of student learning styles. Student participation, students will be able to provide feedback when group assignments are given, they will be motivated to perform a more professional and ethical work, because I’ll be able to see their feedback using the online peer review. Student collaboration will be targeted with the aid of Web 2.0 technologies.

Technology to use:
We will make use of Web 2.0 technologies. To begin with everything would be integrated into a Course website, all data and any information related to the course will be centralized into a website. I will have students write blogs when research assignments are assigned, that way their classmate can read other student research documents and provide feedback, this will enhance collaboration among students.

The website would contain videos about some topics related to the course for better understanding, some students learn more effectively using audio and visual material. I think if we teach using different learning styles to have a broader impact of student learning effectiveness, since students have different learning styles. Online surveys and polls would be distributed among students to see their learning results. Whit this asset I am going to be able to see who is learning and who is not understating the course material. When we meet I’ll record the class and a podcast would be automatically generated and uploaded to our course website. This is going to be a tremendous help for students to review each class given, they are going to be able to go back to any class session and go over material that was not fully understood by the student, they will be able to review the slides (if any) or/and that class audio.

I will also provide the students with an online peer review system when group assignments are given, that way they will be able to provide feedback on their teammates and them selves. This will enhance student participation on group assignments. RSS technology will be available for students to keep up with the course activities, homework and announcements.


Scenario:
I would have a team of students on UTEP in a online meeting using a video conference software such as Elluminate or ooVoo or any other web conference software, we will use several features on this web conference, obviously students would be able to use a microphone and speakers to talk with some other group of students on another university around the globe. They will use screen-sharing to go over their research results with the other team, both team will have the capabilities to interact with both screens, they will be able to share applications and the entire desktop as well.

How student learning will be assessed.
The conference would be recorded for future reference and for report purposes. Everything will be password protected, and it won’t be available to the public, only team members would be able to access data and web conference recording for future reviews. This is the latest technology available regarding online collaboration. You can give control to the other team to your desktop, or restrict it to only some applications, such as MS word or maybe MS PowerPoint, you can share documents, make edits and more.
