| Library Model
Guided Tour
|
Model that provides efficient access to
various resources (electronic) that supply the content. The links supplement
the objectives and serve as an electronic resource. |
Links to URLs such as
- Online encyclopedias
- Online journals
- Online books
- Online reading lists
- Research sites
- Subject-related sites
|
- Concise lists with descriptions of sites
- An online library service with guidance
- Organized lists
|
Used when the designer is providing
informational resource links as a research tool. Limits the scope of
research on the Internet |
Links Pages |
| Textbook Model |
This model creates a textbook on the
computer either with the Internet or files. This frequently includes an
online textbook or manual. This model provides specific
instructional material rather than links to resources. |
- Syllabus
- Lecture and course notes
- Class comments
- Presentations
- Handouts
- Video and graphics displayed in class
- Class related documents
|
- Up-to-date
- Potentially conserves paper and provides for differentiation
in instruction
|
Provides for immediacy and supplements an
existing content |

CAI (Computer Assisted Instruction) and
CBI (computer based instruction) provide student interaction with the
software on the |
- Online tutorial
- Interactive modules
- Practice and feedback
- Simulations
|
- Interactivity
- Feedback
- Guidance
- Multimedia
|
Testing; Drill and Practice, tutorials, simulations;
Good check for skills and knowledge (base level) |
Lessons using simulation software like Oregon Trail
or creation software like HyperStudio Search
Engines used |
| Computer Mediated Communication Model |
Communication with other students,
instructors, and experts. Uses e-mail and computer conferencing for
communication. |
- E-mail
- Listservs
- Discussion forums
- Computer conferencing
|
- Collaborative learning
- Forum for communications
- Efficient feedback
|
Designers goal is to facilitate
communication and interaction between learners. |

| Virtual Classroom
|
Integrated model that shows features many of
the above discussed models. A teaching and learning process located within
a computer mediated system. |
- Hyperlinks to resources
- Supplemental resources
- Interactive feedback and practice
- Access to e-mail, listserv, discussion forums,
computer conferencing
|
- Concise lists of URLs
- Course notes
- Interactivity
- Feedback
- Guidance

Problem solving lesson incorporating
computer technology |
- Objectives
- Problem
- Data collection
- Presentation
- Computer activities
- Evaluation
|
- Variety of activities (both with computer and before
and after use)
- Rubric Assessment
|
Detailed model to provide structure to
encourage teacher use. |
Lesson with technology at application
level |
| WebQuest |
Integrated problem solving scenario that
requires cooperative learning and discovery to reach a solution. |
- Task
- Resources
- Process
- Learning Advice
- Assessment
- Debriefing
|
- Cooperative learning
- Discovery and problem solving
- Guidance from teacher/creator of quest
- Rubric assessment
|
To encourage problem solving and
cooperative communication efforts. Good model to encourage higher
order critical thinking skills |
History concepts
Science topics especially the environment
|
| ASSURE |
Hybrid model that is close to the
behaviorist (Hunter) model of instruction; Key to difference is the active
involvement of the learner (hands on activities). |
- Analysis of learners
- Objectives
- Multimedia materials
- Use of computers
- Learner participation
- Evaluation and revision
|
- Use of computers required for learner hands on
activities
- Learner participation throughout the lesson
- Fosters interaction with technology
|
Good transitional model for traditional
instruction to technology infused |
Traditional lesson in computer lab
providing content instruction with application software |
