Materials Developed

I have been involved in continued work related to the incorporation of modifications and materials related to distance education formats and the developing of a student group based in the Woodlands/Conroe area. In particular, I have worked on a distance format for EDTC 645, incorporating the TTVN teaching facilities and student communications utilizing e-mail, First Class software, and FTP software.. I have been developing a series of applications utilizing DataBase/Internet resource integration for use in my classes. These serve not only as instructional resources in my classes, but as models of technology integration for my students. These applications include internet access to records such as grades, homework delivery and evaluation reporting, bulletin boards and threaded messaging, etc. These resources allow students to access class materials from virtually any location in the world, they can also delivery resources they have developed and interact with other students via these materials. Current emphasis is on adding streaming video components to enhance web-based instruction in my courses.

Videotape Lecture Series: Microcomputer Applications in Education. I developed, authored, and lectured in a series of thirteen lectures developed for broadcast on Cable Television to augment class materials, homework and lab activities for students enrolled in EDTC 645. The series contained lecture material, computer-based instructional material for presenting concepts, interviews, and panel discussions with prominent educators. These were used for a two year period in which they were broadcast on cable television for two semesters, placed in the library for checkout and viewing, and made available on loan to students who traveled from distant sites. The course and technology have evolved so that these materials are no longer appropriate to the course.

Computer-based homework delivery systems and applications. These resources allow students to turn in a variety of homework products over the network from Harrington labs and throughout the campus which are sent to a central point for evaluation by the instructor. This format allows a paperless environment with assignments which access the advantages of computer-based activities such as word processing, conferencing, graphics, HyperText, etc.

Computer-based classroom observation system utilizing a graphical interface for recording activities of student teachers. This provides an efficient and reliable means of recording both teacher and student data in classrooms or from video tape. I am continuing to explore the use of this system in relation to established theory and practice which provides a framework for determining appropriate activities to observe and record.

Computer-based study aids for homework and testing applications. Development of prototype materials including lab network to allow faculty to present test materials from their office and download test results from the lab-based activities and materials. Instructional materials include electronic database of course contents which is developed by students and may be accessed during examinations. Have tested the materials on two graduate classes and have developed an alternate version for use in undergraduate classes. Have developed electronic delivery format whereby students deliver their homework over the network to a file server where it is available to the faculty member for evaluation and recording. This has been tested in EDTC 445 involving approximately 200 students and 4,000 assignments which did not require printing to be turned in and graded. This system will obviously conserve resources, reduce strain on faculty for management, and serve as a model for the use of such applications in Education. The next steps will include aids for uniformity of evaluations and automatic transfer of results to grade book utilities. The format of the exercises will also be expanded.

Computer-based test administration system which presents test items to a class of students, identifies the individual students, accepts student responses, allows students access to approved on-line resources, stores the student responses, and presents the student responses for blind evaluation by the instructor. Provides essay, fill-in-the-blank, and multiple-choice item formats. Objective items are automatically scored by the system and may be distributed over networks for storage and evaluation.

Computer-based research technique providing a format for investigating the role of learner controlled display characteristics and learning outcome. Provides automatic administration of the study with all data stored and made available for analyses with no intervention necessary from the experimenter.

Course on Computer-Based research techniques which enables students to conceptualize a problem in their area of study and develop a fully operational, automatic computer-administered research project which collects data relevant to the problem defined. The skills and knowledge obtained provide a valuable set of tools which can be applied in a variety of research settings and topics. Students are encouraged to pilot dissertation ideas in this course.

Computer-based faculty evaluation system allowing students to evaluate a course on computer. Items include both rating scales and open response formats. Instrument found to elicit more open response input than paper & pencil equivalent.

Computer-based survey system for soliciting information from on-site participants. Items include rating scales, graphically presented selections and open response formats. Participants report greater feeling of confidentiality than on paper & pencil equivalent and summary of results is almost instantaneous. Instrument has been utilized at three national conferences.

Computer laboratory file server system to service a microcomputer workstation lab which remote provides access to software utilities and collects data on how the system is being utilized and by whom. Data includes information such as major, nature of work being done (homework & associated course, dissertation, etc.) software selected, time spent on each portion of the session, etc.)
