This article will present instructors with a myriad of strategies for lesson planning in online courses. There are many inherent differences between the traditional classroom and the virtual classroom. Factors such as student experience with online courses, instructor availability, and the compatibility between instructor teaching style and student learning style may impact on student performance and satisfaction in online courses (Cicco, 2009; Haberstroh et al., 2008). These variables are important to consider when designing innovative and engaging online courses (Cicco, 2012). A five-step plan for creating online courses will be reviewed, with an emphasis on strategies for accommodating specific learning-style preferences within the context of online graduate counseling courses. This plan includes syllabus revision and differentiated instruction. The concerns associated with relationship-building in the virtual classroom will be highlighted, especially those relevant to counselor preparation courses (Cicco, 2012; Trepal, Haberstroh, Duffey, & Evans, 2007). Creative instructional strategies that correspond to perceptual and sociological learning styles will be addressed, including learning activities that increase the possibilities for accurate assessment of student performance and for relationship-building among faculty members and students (Burke, 2000; Dunn & Griggs, 2003; Fearing & Riley, 2005; Haberstroh, 2010).
Peer-related social competencies can have a major impact on classroom success. While some students can learn these social competencies through observation and imitation of others, other students require intensive intervention in social skills to be able to interact appropriately with others. This article presents social stories as a behavioral intervention option for educators. Detailed steps describe 5 stages of the intervention process: 1) identifying target behavior, 2) establishing baseline, 3) writing the story, 4) implementing the intervention, and 5) evaluating effectiveness. Ideas for using multimedia resources in social stories are provided.
This monograph provides an active discourse on the novel field of “Educational Science” and how it conducts in–depth research investigations first presented in an article by the author in the iManager Journal of Mathematics. Educational Science uses the innovative Total Transformative Trichotomy–Squared [Tri–Squared] Test as a means of informative inquiry. This novel approach to data analysis is a mixed methods research design that involves the holistic combination and comparison of qualitative and quantitative data. An example is provided on the psychometric process of creating trichotomous instruments that are an essential part of the Tri–Squared research investigative process.
The integration of technology throughout the curriculum is important to meet the needs of all learners of the 21st century. Technology can assist teachers with the delivery of lessons and assessing students. It can also provide students with numerous ways to demonstrate their learning, increase engagement in the learning process, and help to meet the many learning needs of students within a classroom. As there are rapid changes in technology, it is difficult to identify expectations of specific sites, hardware or software that should be included in the written, taught, and tested curriculum. Curriculum provides medium of interaction between the teachers and the students. A teacher is expected to infuse successfully the knowledge of technology integration into his/her subjected area to make learning meaningful. Educational systems all over the world are changing rapidly due to knowledge explosion. So the present education should be readjusted and reshaped in keeping pace with different factors emerging today. This would lead the learners as lifelong learners. This presentation focuses on the uses of technology integration to frame the Curriculum. The written curriculum should encourage teachers to be co-learners or guides rather than the sole dispenser of knowledge with the students as the vessels to be filled. Even more traditional lessons can be enhanced with technology.
Internet occupies a significant place in every individual’s life. For the students particularly at post graduation level, internet plays vital role in gathering more and more information related to their academics work. Internet enables the student to search any job, course available in the institution organization and help to apply any form and to take admission in any institution online. The common notion envisages the message that the PG students are aware of the modern technologies (ICT) for academic purpose. But in reality it differs in some extent, the present study has made an effort to study the internet knowledge of P.G. student and their level of usage. The present study was undertaken in Ravenshaw University with a view to know the extent to which the post graduate students were having knowledge, skills in use of internet and whether there was any factor such as socio economic status of their family, stream, responsible for development of internet knowledge among these students. The findings revealed that the gender, stream of study and socio economic statuses of the family were not the responsible factors for development of internet knowledge.
IHL, a leading institute offering higher education in the Sultanate of Oman is on the cusp of translating from an organization with conventional modes of teaching-learning to those of the modern day practices notably electronic learning. The challenges posed in the implementation of an environment conducive to electronic learning and its different forms and manifestations would only be inculcated if the real opportunities are understood by all the major stakeholders. The paper highlights the major findings gathered through primary and secondary data, which in turn would provide an opportunity to debate on the pros and cons of electronic learning from that of IHL’s perspective. The findings revealed that the learner’s are already familiar with internet as an effective tool for learning, its only that the direction is to be channeled commensurate with the requirements so as to create an environment where e-learning is acknowledged, implemented and monitored by one and all.
