October 13th

Good week!

The majority of this week was spent taking my two units and taking the instruction that I had created and putting into an online format. It is now in its infancy, but it is ready for students to test it in the online format. I primarily used Dreamweaver and Flash to create a somewhat interactive learning environment. I have also used captivate to do some screen recording when it came time to teach the students how to use LoggerPro, the main graphical software they will be using. I am not quite ready to have learners view the finished product of the LoggerPro tutorials, and have still not quite figured out how to have the student install the LP with me not at their homes. I guess in the design of this class there will have to be a mailed supplement to the students with the LP software and any large videos on a CD for them to view. I think that this is reasonable, in that most students have to purchase supporting materials for almost any class that they take.

I have modified my timeline somewhat, but it is still a work in progress. I did not really grasp the whole project at the beginning, and I think that there will still be many changes to come.

My test students are excited to see this show on the web; it is nice to have some interest.

All else is well. UEA ROCKS!
