CEP 812 Project Description

I am still going to keep my topic of online professional development. I will discuss options for students, teachers, administrators, and recreation staff regarding online training. I would research open source vs paid course management systems. I will use technology organizations and trade magazines such as educase.edu, jolt.merlot.org, and inacol.org.

Questions to be answered:

1. What are the advantages and disadvantages of course management systems at the workplace?
2. How can employers implement online learning?
3. How will employers train their staff on using Moodle?
4. Why use online professional development?
5. How can teachers design lessons using Moodle?

I will give surveys and interview teachers to get their views about online learning.

  1. I like the idea of online profressional development! Teachers know how valuable time is and online professional development could save time from driving to a location and sitting through speakers and conferences. Although that is valuable as well, I think it's a great idea to consider the online option as well!

  2. This looks like a neat idea. My only suggestion is in regards to the first question. Maybe instead of asking which program is best, instead ask the advantages and disadvantages of both?
