Alzheimer Association Materials Grant

Alzheimer Association Materials Grant Technology-Content Team (Mary, Scarlett, Boyd, Louise) Meeting 24 October 2005 1

I. Format workout:  we uploaded into Moodle from a CD to test individual files in each format: all played

 PDF, power point, mp3, wmv, jpg, qt, wav, mp3, mpg, gif, animated gif

II. Format constraints

 A web-based course is NOT paper-pencil: traditional instruction on how to take notes, etc., needs replacement by simulation and voiceover. Writing is done on computer inside of web-based forms when needed, keyed to objectives for traditional CNA-course, i.e. journals, feedback, chats, etc.

 Think composition in terms of hypertext, interactivity, and radio; computer as partner

 a Moodle page can handle any format; however, there are several specific constraints o students who do not have dsl at home really do need to use school labs o audio and video clips should be 30-45 seconds and must be contextualized; captioned whenever possible (once we find out how and where) o 100 megabytes limit per moodle ‘page’ which is typically a topic o earphones are needed for (on-campus) computer-delivered audio or video o audio and video and possibly simulations also need to be placed on videotape o ‘voice-over’ tutorials using stills and screenshots are super for directions and for mini-tutorials; they work beautifully also for contextualizing AV clips o java applets, voice-overs will be produced at CPCC; some back-up at UNCC o all uploading will be handled by CPCC IT professionals; content will be delivered to them on flash drives and/or CDs for final production and infusion into course(s)
