EME2040 WebQuests
Web quests are inquiry-oriented activities where students interact with online resources to solve problems and complete projects. They involve research and collaboration in teams to produce a final product. Web quests bring together effective teaching practices like motivation, developing thinking skills, and cooperative learning. They come in short-term and long-term varieties. All good web quests include an introduction, task, process, evaluation, and conclusion. The introduction sets up the activity, the task defines the learning goals, the process provides online resources and guidance, the evaluation assesses student understanding, and the conclusion encourages reflection. Examples of web quests vary in quality, so templates and resources can help teachers create effective ones.

Kathy Shields presented on her experiment integrating online information literacy modules into first-year composition courses at High Point University. She collaborated with writing faculty to develop online Blackboard modules covering topics like searching databases, evaluating sources, and citing works. The modules were assigned to experimental student groups but not control groups. Assessment found no significant difference in student writing abilities between groups. However, students in experimental groups demonstrated greater awareness of library resources in post-tests. Shields concluded the modules were most effective when faculty fully adopted them, and she plans to improve module design and assessment in future iterations.

The document outlines the introduction, task, process, evaluation, conclusion, and credits/references for the lesson.
Sloan 2009 Instructional Strategies for Blended Learning
This document provides an overview of a conference session on instructional strategies for blended learning.
It begins with introducing the presenters and agenda. The presenters then discuss key aspects of blended learning such as the three main elements of course level, reduced seat time, and convergence of online and face-to-face instruction. Benefits and challenges of blended learning are also reviewed.
The remainder of the document focuses on introducing the ADDIE model of systematic instructional design. The five phases of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation are each described in brief sections. Small group activities are included to have participants apply the ADDIE model to designing aspects of a blended course.
Classroom Action Research
