INTERNET RESOURCES
Educational technology: A guide to resources on the Web
C&RL News, January 2003
Vol. 64 No. 1
by Betzi L. Bateman

September 18, 2002
Excerpt Quoted from website
IMS Global Learning Consortium and WGBH Boston Publish Guidelines
for Creating Accessible Online Learning Technologies 
http://www.cosn.org/resources/092002.htm
 The IMS Guidelines are available on the Web in a screen-reader friendly format as well as in PDF
(ncam.wgbh.org/salt) and are expected to be an invaluable resource for a broad range 
of stakeholders in online education, including educators providing online learning materials,
developers of learning software such as learning management systems and educational software, 
and educational publishers, content authors, authoring tool developers and parents, 
advocates and students with disabilities themselves. http://ncam.wgbh.org/salt/
 

Digital Equity Toolkit available at:
www.nici-mc2.org/de_toolkit/pages/toolkit.htm
Quoted from site:
The toolkit points educators to free, high quality resources that help address the digital divide in the classroom and community. The toolkit, edited by Joy Wallace, senior associate at the National Institute for Community Innovations, is made possible in part through funding from the U.S. Department of Education's PT3 (Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to use Technology) and Technology Innovation Challenge Grant programs. We are committed to continually enhancing the toolkit's contents; therefore, you may want to consider revisiting the toolkit at least monthly as new resources are added each week.

Course Developers Guidelines
Excerpt quoted from site:
Purpose
This guide has been created to provide World Wide Web course developers with a set of common standards and guidelines for publishing courses on line. Some of the standards make eminent sense to everyone, others have been agreed to just to ensure that we all develop to a common standard. This makes courses more interchangeable and usable among those who agree to develop to the accepted standards.

Quoted from the site above:
Students, teachers, instructors and administrators are learning how to use computers in their classes, and many are now turning to the World Wide Web and beginning to understand its potential for supporting new forms of learning.
Although the Internet is populated with good guides on using the Web, HTML and other features, one element that has been lacking has been a dedicated publication on the learner and the teacher, and how they interact and participate together on the Internet. This online instruction environment has been designed to assist teachers, students, distance education facilitators and educational resource developers in using the Internet to its full potential.
Who will benefit from this WebTitle?
We hope that this manual will help those involved in teaching and learning, from students to administrators, not only in New Brunswick, but wherever the Web reaches, to begin to understand the potential of the Internet as a teaching resource and a teaching medium and to prepare to adapt and develop their courses for delivery using the Web. Learning on the Web is a free Web-based course written by educators for educators.

From Reference Services Review  V. 29 (3)  2001:
Teaching an online information literacy course 
    Kate Manuel (pp. 219 - 229) 
Abstract: Academic librarians have been creating Web-based tutorials in support of their institutions' distance education course and remote students for some time. For-credit, distance education, information literacy classes for undergraduate students, however, have not yet begun to appear in significant numbers. In creating such a course, LIBY 3200, California State University, Hayward, sought to meet the needs of its students better and to explore the potential of distance education. Findings from experience teaching LIBY 3200 suggest that many students are less prepared to function - technologically and cognitively - in a Web-based distance education environment than might be predicted. Design and delivery of course content proved time-consuming, with few possibilities for short-cuts, and teaching methods had to be adapted to help the students become autonomous learners, meaningfully capable of self-directed learning in a Web-based environment.

    The Dimensions of Learning

    Use ALL Your Smarts
    Multiple Intelligences for
    Diverse Library Learners

    From the Introduction:
    "As libraries move toward a fuller concept of library
    instruction through information literacy, 
    we need a better understanding of how people learn
    and show what they know.
    When we teach library skills and processes
    in computer labs,
    I worry that we will leave the students behind in
    the rush to technology. 
    We feel the urgency to cover all the databases,
    teach all the special features,
    open the world of information to our students.
    At the same time, students are eager to dive
    into that monitor, work that mouse,
    and search the Internet.
    In fact, if students are to learn complex 
    concepts, understand them fully,
    and apply them effectively in their library research,
    they must experience learning on a deeper level.
    (Gardner, 1991)".
