Resources for Distant Sites
Hello,
This
is Evonne Dantzler. I choose Scenario 3 Mr. John Burns for this week video blog.
This scenario is surrounding the interest of Mr. Burns who is interested in
teaching his Introduction to College Writing course online. The question that I will answer is “Why is it
necessary for Mr. Burns to determine and evaluate available resources at the
distant sites when preparing to teach a distant course”?
It
is imperative for Mr. Burns to know if appropriate technological resources are
on site for his lecture, video, audio, and assignments to be accessible by his distance
learning students. For his course offering to be successful there must be
communication technologies; interaction and independence technologies. Plus, he
must know if there is good internet service for transmission of voice and data (Garrison,
2003, p. 67 & 72). It will be to his advantage to know if his students had access
to computers, software for a writing course, and if there is video and audio
equipment at the site (Hamilton; 2015, p.57-86). Moreover, the student should
have access to a media center.
During
his preparation, he should make sure there is a two-way audio with visuals, or even
better if there is Two-Way Video/Audio Classrooms (Simonson, Smaldino, & Zvacek,
2015, p.82-96). This technology would
assure his students could see, hear, and engage in the lecture. Plus, he would
be able to assess the students.
