E-Learning Module: One Tech a Week
Description
One Tech a Week” is a 5-week course designed to introduce teachers or high school students to a variety of web tools that can be utilized in the classroom.
In this course we promote the use of educational tools and will focus on resources that are free and easy to learn for screencasting, presentations, and animation. Learners will get the chance to use some of these tools to create various products, and to integrate tools to create a final project. This course is designed to spark interest in these and other types of tools, and to encourage teachers or students to continue learning after the completion of this introductory course.
This course was designed by an instructional design team comprised of Gayle Anbe, Susan St. John, Ross Uedoi, and Gavon Wong.

From Jordan Day
I like the concept to the module and its value in the target audience’s locus of control. Nice images and color scheme throughout the site. Work well with the easy to use navigation.
Some things I thought were great are:
Very straight forward layout of rationale and objectives
Tools chosen are resourceful, and very useful within numerous applications
Chronological ordering of tabs
Final project is an effective assessment of skills attained in module
Some suggestions would be:
Make sure all links are working by final submission
Add missing pages
Other than the obvious I think its a nicely arranged curriculum and worth a lot to educators who want to integrate new tools and outlets to their audiences.
