EFFECTIVE ONLINE
LEARNINGAND OVERVIEW
Joshua M. Repomanta
Computers as Online Resource
“Computers improve both teaching and student achievement.”
Agree or Disagree?
Due to the myriad of benefits that computers have to offer, it has become not just an important household but an important tool in teaching and learning.
Internet as Channel of Online Resources
What is internet?Buzzle.com defines
Internet as “a network of computers that communicates via the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP). The Internet allows people from around the world to share knowledge, ideas.”
Internet Based Learning& Online Resources
Internet Based Learning Main Goal: distance learning, materials for
standard classes Online Resources -defined as the available materials derived
or consumed using the internet. In education, the internet can serve as a repository of information and alternative media.
Factors of Effective Learningon the Internet (Bork, 2001)
What is needed to effectively learn through the internet?
NEW HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE?
There is no need for new hardware and software.
“Vast development of a new style of learning material is necessary.”
Factors of Effective Learningon the Internet
1. Learning Paradigmsa. Information Transferb. Tutorial Learning
2. Development of Learning Materials
CAN YOU THINKOF THE OTHER FACTORS?
Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet
Learning Paradigms
Information Transfer Paradigm-the primary job of students is acquiring
information-courses offering this strategy test primarily
on memory of information or processes
Examples:Lectures Video Online text Textual WEBSITES
Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet
Learning Paradigms
Disadvantages: Typical non interactive media, student
interaction is very rare Open book and note tests
are seldom given, sincememory is stressed.
Testing in large courses oftenten uses inferior tacticssuch as multiple choice
What should be done? Can you think of the advantages?
Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet
Learning Paradigms
Tutorial Learning-a skilled tutor works with one to three
students, in a highly interactive fashion
How?Often mostly asking questions or discussing
student assignment. Example: rarejob.com
(human/tutor-computer-student)
Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet
Learning Paradigms
Tutorial Learning
Advantage: the cost per student for computer based tutorial will eventually less than cost of traditional learning
Disadvantage: What seems to be the threat?
Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet
Learning Paradigms
Tutorial Learning-often for wealthy individuals.But, TOO EXPENSIVE for most learning.
But what is the case today?Computers can play the role of skilled
tutor at a very reasonable cost, with very large number of students.
Factors of Effective Learning on the Internet
Development of Learning Materials
TUTORIAL LEARNING+
INFORMATION TRANSFER
What is needed in creating, or at least pin pointing resources in the internet is the
combination of the two learning paradigms.
ONLINE STUDENT AND TEACHER SITES

SEARCH TECHNIQUES AND
SPOTTING RELIABLE ONLINE
RESOURCES
Jasmin Crismo
Search Techniques
1. Identify concepts2. Make a list of search terms for each
concept3. Specify logical relationships among
search terms using Boolean Logic
Boolean Logic
Much database searching is based on its principles
Often used to refine or set specific bits Uses operators: AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND,
NOR, NXOR AND: if and only if all inputs are on, output will
be on; output will be off if any of the inputs are off
OR: if any of the inputs are on, output will be on NOT: output will be opposite in state
Search Engines
Huge databases of web page files that have been assembled automatically by a machine
Compiles databases by Crawling Indexing searching
Search Engines
Usefulness depends on the relevance of the result set it gives back
Most search engines employ methods to rank the result – to provide the “best” result
Examples: Google, Ask, Gigablast, Yahoo! search
Search Engines
Provide access to a fairly large portion of the publicly available pages on the Web
Best means devised yet for searching the Web
Return too many responses to simple search requests
Many responses are irrelevant to the search
PROS CONS
Search Techniques
1. Identify concepts
2. Make a list of search terms for each concept
3. Specify logical relationships among search terms using Boolean Logic
AND OR NOT
AND, OR, NOT and Combination Search
Boolean AND Search Searches for Web pages that contain
both of the search terms Type the terms in the search box with a
space between them
AND, OR, NOT and Combination Search
Boolean OR Search Searches for Web pages that contain
either one of the two terms Usually used to search for synonyms
Type the terms in the search box with the word OR between them, or
use the advanced search page
AND, OR, NOT and Combination Search
Boolean NOT Search Retrieves documents that do not contain
a particular word Place a minus sign (-) in front of the word
you want to exclude
Combination Boolean AND, OR Search More complex than a simple AND, OR
search Best to try using an advanced search page
Phrase Search
Used for searching words that naturally appear in the context of a phrase Enclose phrase within double quotes, or Put a plus sign (+) in front of the phrase
Field Search
Title Field Searches for documents that contains
search terms in the title Use advanced search page
Site Field Limits search results to pages on
particular Web site Type search terms in the search box
followed by the word ‘site’ and then the Web site
Spotting Reliable Sources
Author verify educational credits Discover if writer is published in a
scholarly journal Verify if employed by a research
institution or university
Spotting Reliable Sources
URL .edu – most likely an educational institution
Be aware of political bias .gov – most likely a reliable government Web
site Good sources for statistics and objective reports Be aware of political bias
.org – usually non-profit organizations Can be very good or very poor sources Research for possible agendas or political bias Research if they exist
Spotting Reliable Sources
Online Journals and Magazines Should contain a bibliography for every
article list of sources within the bibliography should
include scholarly, non-Internet sources check for statistics and data within the
article to back up the claims made by the author
News Sources rely on the most trusted news sources, but
should not rely on them exclusively
FAIR USE GUIDELINES
AND THE APA DOCUMENTATION
STYLE
Kevin Christopher Cordoviz
Internet Plagiarism, Internet Source Reliability, And Internet Piracy
Concerns and Issues on Internet Use
Internet plagiarism Internet “copy-paste” info book reports,
research papers, etc. Making info appear as one’s own truth
Internet source reliability Degree of reliability of information on
websites
Checking Reliability of Information from Websites
1. Who is the source?2. What am I getting?3. When was it created?4. Where am I?5. Why am I here?• See if there’s reference list on webpage
Internet piracy through file swapping sites Illegal distribution of copyrighted material
bit torrents, warez, etc. Driven by
Cost of pirated materials: cheap, or free Unavailable original media in local setting/market
Fair Use, Copyright, and Copyleft
