  1. Using WebCT for campus-based online learning Margaret Kendall, 11th September 2002

  2. Outline • The use of WebCT at MMU • The use of WebCT in the Dept of Information & Communications • My experiences of teaching using WebCT • Issues for discussion

  3. The use of WebCT at MMU • WebCT selected as VLE in May 1998 • 22 Online Learning Fellowships 1998-2000 for development of “campus-based online learning” • Now used by 120 staff, 8000 (25%) students, 40% of users log on from outside the University network • Campus edition (Version 3.8) and moves towards MLE from September 2002 • LibWeb course from University Library

  4. The use of WebCT in InfoComms • Web-based Departmental courseware • lecture slides and handouts, practical exercises, reading lists and links to web resources, past examination papers etc. • Use of WebCT from: • 1999-2000 Community Information • 2000-2001 New technologies in human communication • 2001-2002 Literature and its Readers, Masters News and Views • 2002-2003 Virtual Research Forum, Research Methods, Networked Information, Image Retrieval

  5. Learner profiles • Undergraduate core options open to postgraduates as electives (assignments at appropriate level) • Around a third mature students • Ratio of women: men approximately 3:1 • Part time students in employment in library and information work • Varied backgrounds, some with English as a second language

  6. Community Information • Advantages • Lectures and lab exercises replaced by a “trackable” online tutorial e.g. developments in use of Web by voluntary sector, for e-government at national and local levels • Interactive (a textbook they can write in!), exercises, quizzes • Discussions online and face-to-face • Team work using computer mediated communication

  7. An exercise evaluating local government web sites

  8. Literature and its Readers • Advantages • Online tutorials • Use of the web by the book trade, agencies promoting reading and creative writing for children and adults • Achieved more in less time • Reports from case study exercise • Collaborative evaluation of literacy initiatives • Added an extra dimension • Sharing poetry and reviews of reading • Advanced preparation for debate

  9. Sharing poetry on the theme of “journeys”

  10. Reviews of prizewinning novels

  11. Issues • Effects on student choice of units? • How much to track? • Should I reward participation? • What to do about lurkers or non-participants? • When to join in discussions and when to keep quiet? • How to ensure the courses are accessible for disabled students?
