...GREEN, OHIO ABSTRACT. Universities have rushed to expand their delivery of courses through ABSTRACT. e-learning environments. But is e-learning effective? The authors conducted an exploratory study to evaluate e-learning through WebCT on the basis of Bloom’s taxonomy. The authors distributed 75 questionnaires to investigate whether individual or instructional factors play an important role in learning when using WebCT. On the basis of analysis of surveys from undergraduate students at a medium-sized university in the southeastern region of the United States, the authors determined that individual and instructional factors do not play a major role in the learning process. Keywords: Bloom’s taxonomy, e-learning, WebCT Copyright © 2009 Heldref Publications worldwide drastic change occurred in the educational system at the end of the 20th century. Various institutions have tried to bring change to the educational system and to bolster student accomplishments by focusing on schools, teachers, and students responsible for academic learning and achievement (Rothman, 1995).

...Dianna L. Pittman Jones International University EDU630 Assignment 5.1 "Task analysis for instructional design is a process of analyzing and articulating the kind of learning that you expect the learners to know how to perform". (George Mason University) Although task analysis has been approached from several perspectives, there is one constant among them. Task analysis, at a minimum, assists the instructor or designer to understand the content to be taught. According to George Mason University, (n.d.) instructional designers perform task analysis in order to: * determine the instructional goals and objectives; * define and describe in detail the tasks and sub-tasks that the student will perform; * specify the knowledge type (declarative, structural, and procedural knowledge) that characterize a job or task; * select learning outcomes that are appropriate for instructional development; * prioritize and sequence tasks; * determine instructional activities and strategies that foster learning; * select appropriate media and learning environments; * construct performance assessments and evaluation. Below is a goal analysis I developed to assist learners in understanding the business planning process for a beauty business. Goal: At the end of six weeks, learners will know the main components of a business plan and through the use of business planning software, will develop a business plan that will be used to measure comprehension and be...

...Assignment 1 Project Analysis EDU 533 IDENTIFIED NEED Many schools cut physical education and physical education funding with the trust that more rigid classroom time would somehow encourage students to learn more. Students need sufficient amounts of physical exercise throughout the school day, not only does physical fitness prevent obesity and obesity-related issues, but it also improves students overall personal health. Physical education is critical to educating all students in grades K-12 and students should receive physical education on a daily basis. K-12 students should take all required physical education courses and have no substitutions, waivers, or exemptions should be permitted except for medical reasons. Physical fitness education should be recognized as part of the total education curriculum. Exercise directly impacts the behavior and development of the brain and physical activity has benefits beyond improved students grades, physical activity improves absenteeism, student’s dropout rates, and social connectedness (Graham, 2008).

...Benchmark Assessment: Individual Reflection Essay The purpose of this essay is to show possible solutions to leadership challenges using the ISLLC 2008 standards. The purpose of the standards and how they impact the educational community will also be addressed. The ISLLC 2008 standards were drafted by personnel from 24 state education agencies and various professional associations (ISLLC, 2008). These standards were developed to enhance the skills of school leaders in order to produce enhanced educational outcomes (ISLLC, 2008). Standard 2 The first major challenge facing the leadership at my school is students that cannot read. Many students that reach third grade in my school are reading at a grade level below and some are two grade levels below. This is a major issue because it means that the ball has been dropped and it is also the first year for the students to take standardized tests. This challenge reflects Standard 2. As a leader, I would collect and analyze data for students with reading problems beginning in first grade. Teachers would be required identify struggling students. Documentation should be recorded every six weeks on whether or not progress or growth was made. There should also be special lessons in place in...

...Quality Management Journal, 6(2), 9-21 (1999). HOW TO IMPROVE TEACHING QUALITY Richard M. Felder Department of Chemical Engineering North Carolina State University Rebecca Brent College of Engineering North Carolina State University An announcement goes out to the faculty that from now on the university will operate as a total quality management campus. All academic, business, and service functions will be assessed regularly, and quality teams will plan ways to improve them. A campus quality director and a steering team are named, with the director reporting to the Provost. All university departments appoint quality coordinators, who attend a one-day workshop on quality management principles and return to their departments to facilitate faculty and/or staff meetings at which quality improvement is discussed. Many faculty members are irate. They argue that TQM was developed by and for industry to improve profits, industry and the university are totally different, and talking of students as "customers" is offensive and makes no sense. They make it clear that they will have nothing to do with this scheme and will view any attempt to compel them to participate as a violation of their academic freedom. What happens then is…practically nothing. Some changes are made in business and service departments, some curricula are revised, and a few instructors make changes in what they do in their classrooms but most go on teaching the way they have always taught. After two or three...

...Running head: Assignment 1 Strategic Planning, Learning Theory, and Training Needs Analysis Assignment 1: Strategic Planning, Learning Theory, and Training Needs Analysis KorVina Hunter Professor Robert High BUS 407 December 9, 2011 The analysis phase defines what needs to be trained. Next, an instructional design is crafted to meet this need. Only after the design is complete are the instructional materials developed. During development, individual and group tryouts of the materials are conducted. Results are iteratively fed back into design and development. Evaluation is a central feature of ISD and is performed in each phase. The phases are: Phase 1: Analysis –Determine if training is the appropriate solution; if so, define training requirements Phase 2: Design – Define objectives, design the training program, and select training methods and media. Phase 3: Development- Develop all training materials in accordance with design. Conduct pilot training classes. Refine course, as necessary. Phase 4: Implementation – Implementing training, evaluate, and refine. Phase 5: Evaluation – Performed during development, during implementation, immediately after training, and six months or more after training. Most training design models contain five steps.
