Description
TWSIA Winner!
Since its creation in 2008, the Valencian International University (VIU) has developed an entirely online teaching methodology using an ecosystem of 2.0 applications with SAKAI at its nerve centre. The purpose of the ICT in Education course is to teach educators how to use Web 2.0 tools to enhance their courses. The innovation used to encourage student engagement and community-building is based on two main aspects: 1. The reorganisation and activation of different resources in the virtual course was used as a strategy to encourage the usability and diversity of attention; 2. The protocol and considerations for 2.0 action in the Sakai forums. Some of the tools used include: A video class integrated through Elluminate; a timeline of activities and study plan; personal tutorials by appointment using Skype; an e-portfolio of theory-practice work and self-assessment on GoogleSites; and information and feedback on task assessment and final marks. The presenter will discuss student success results with the new course design and provide a demo of key course components.
