Introduction
Here we introduce you to Curt Hieggelke, what he's done with technology and why. We describe briefly some of the impacts on student learning, how the students have responded, and why it's not just the technology that's made this a successful program.
The Setting
In this section, we introduce you to Curt's colleagues at JJC and present the information necessary to understand the context within which they strive to achieve their goals for student learning.
Learning Problems and Goals
Here we examine, first, the learning problems that Curt and his colleagues faced, problems that ultimately motivated them to change their curriculums; then, we take a look at the goals the JJC faculty have set for student learning.
Creating the Learning Environment
In this section, we look closely at how the JJC faculty created their new learning environments-the tools they use, the activities they assign-and how they assess their success. This section is deeply informative and includes links to both faculty and student discussions of learning activities, as well as information on specific assessment tools and activities.
Summative Outcomes Data
How well is it working? Find out in this section, which tracks the achievement of Curt's students.
Implementation
Wondering about the logistics? The JJC faculty share how they did it: from acquiring the necessary resources (time, space, money, etc.), to networking, to overcoming their own ingrained ideas about teaching and learning.
Conclusion
You have to be an independent learner...
