Video-Based Laboratory Instruction in Information and Communications Technology

该项目正在制作和传播一系列20个教学录像，这些录像是根据5本新的信息和通信技术教科书所载的实验练习制作的，这些教科书是用以前的资金编写和出版的。 这些视频是对教科书的增强，并允许最终用户作为独立产品进行定制。 PI计划以各种格式提供所有视频，包括CD，DVD，并通过PI机构的网站流媒体。 这种灵活性使教师能够满足远程学习的需求和学生学习风格和背景的多样性。 所有录像都通过闭路字幕、语音解说和对话菜单进行了增强，所有录像都以英文和西班牙文制作。 PI将通过中心的合作学院网络和教科书出版商德尔马出版社以CD和DVD格式传播这些视频。 在他们的评估中，调查人员计划使用混合方法，包括定性和定量数据，以评估学生和教师的满意度以及学生学习的收益。

This project is producing and disseminating a series of twenty instructional videos based upon laboratory exercises contained in five new information and communications technology textbooks that were developed and published with earlier funding. The videos serve as enhancements to the textbooks and allow for customization by end users as stand alone products. The PI plans to deliver all videos in a variety of formats including CDs, DVDs, and streamed through the PI's institution's website. This flexibility allows instructors to addresses distance-learning needs and the diversity of student learning styles and backgrounds. All videos are being enhanced by closed captions, voice narration and talking menus and all are being produced in both English and Spanish. The PI will disseminate the videos in CD and DVD formats through the center's network of partnering colleges and through the textbook publisher, Delmar Publishing. In their evaluation, the investigators plan to use a mixed method approach involving both qualitative and quantitative data to assess student and instructor satisfaction as well as gains in student learning.
