Instructional Technology Jewels: Four Tools for a Nonmajors Science Class
Russell, Janet; Pearson, Mark
Journal of College Science Teaching, v33 n7 p24-28 Jul-Aug 2004
We integrated four technology tools into a course to showcase their pedagogical usefulness. These were Course Compass, a web-based, course-management system; Moveable Type WebLog, an Open Source blog; recorded verbal critique, an evaluation of student projects recorded verbally and then web archived; and Calibrated Peer Review, a web-based, peer-graded writing tool. We outline why and how we use these technologies, discuss our experiences, and provide links to examples. (Contains 3 figures.)
