Text & Technology Day - Supplemental Web Resources
Donna and I spent some time today facilitating some break out sessions at the Ocotillo Text and Technology Day.
We held two break out sessions dealing with Supplemental Web Resources. In our first session, we had three authors share their resources. It was interesting as we saw a number of different types. One was directly related to the textbook and required the text and a CD-ROM to be able to fully access the site. Another was tied to the textbook in theory but open to the public, we saw one site that was developed in lieu of a text and we viewed a comprehensive website that doubled as a course manegement system.
Here is the information on the people who shared in session 1:
The presenters that we met with are:
Christine Hult, Utah State University

Mike Palmquist, Colorado State University Mike.Palmquist@colostate.edu http://www.bedfordresearcher.com

Course management system and business resources:

Rick Effland, Mesa Community College
Reffland@mac.com

Our second session was more of a discussion than a demonstration. We had a great discussion on what the people attending have developed whether tied to a textbook they have authored or being a supplemental website designed to assist a specific group taking a class. We also discussed what motivates students and how they can learn from online quizzes.
What a great day! And Thanks to all who participated!

Good summation, Lisa. Do you or Donna recall, or did you take notes of, some of the discussion of what motivates students and how they can learn from online quizzes. Does EVERYTHING have to be graded or can we motivate students toward self-assessment?
Additionally, do you have any notes or information regarding what has been developed for specific student groups. What types of things work and maybe what doesn't?
