Week 6 (June 26, 2006)
This week I continued to work on the PowerPoint pedagogy modules and on the pICT newsletter.
During my last week of work, I reorganized lesson content for one of the modules and wrote the script for the narrator. During my week while out of town, ITS and CTL had a pre-production meeting and decided that the narrators were restricted with scripted narration and decided to let the narrators speak "off the cuff" regarding the lesson content, focusing on their personal experiences with the content. This project has taken yet another turn, which is to turn the PowerPoint pedagogy modules into case based learning where the narrators of each content area are familiar and experienced enough to capture the audience with their own experiences and lessons learned.
The PowerPoint pedagogy module project has been slow moving, but I am so glad that we did not build out more than three of the modules to the level of detail initially desired. This week I worked on reorganizing content for another module and am almost finished with that.
And, to answer the question regarding the audience for these modules -- The intended learners for the PowerPoint pedagogy modules are faculty and lecturers who routinely or primarily teach by lecture to large groups of students (100+).
I spent a great deal of time working on the pICT newsletter. I didn't realize how much time can go into designing and organizing the content for publications like this. We decided to work with a template, which can be limiting when it comes to space, but is also very convenient from a design perspective regarding column overflow to subsequent pages. I'll spend my last week as an intern finishing up the newsletter and preparing it for distribution and plan on a few more significant changes before it is complete.
