E-Learning, v4 n1 p5-14 2007
This article explores innovations in assessment of student teaching practice employed in the University of Cincinnati, USA, online associate's degree in early childhood education, the Early Childhood Learning Community. The program's components are identified with a specific focus on assessment of teaching practicum. The use of a range of information technologies, including video, is discussed, and evaluated through the voices of participating students. Student feedback shows the importance of integrating video and conference calling into an effective e-practicum model that provides self, mentor, and faculty evaluation of student teaching practice in a distance education program.
