3 | The SECTIONS framework is based on an acronym representing the criteria that should be considered when selecting instructional technologies. It may be used for analyzing the relative merits of a particular form of rich media: | |||||||||||||||||||
4 | ||||||||||||||||||||
5 | Students: | Is it appropriate for your student population? | Consider: | student demographics, student accessibility, and student learning styles. | • Are transferrable skills being developed? • Does the technology allow for an appropriate degree of openness to the community beyond registered course participants? • Can students show their work via web link (url)? | |||||||||||||||
6 | Ease of Use: | Is the interface and design reliable and intuitive to the learner? | Consider: | Free plug-ins, navigation panels, help and instructions on use. | • Will students need to make a major investment in time to learn how to use the technology? • Will I need to make a major investment in time to learn this technology? • Am I comfortable enough with the technology to guide students? | |||||||||||||||
7 | Cost Structure: | Is the production cost reasonable? | Consider: | Cost of software, development time, skilled development staff, and cost of maintenance and updates. | • Are the time costs relatively low to design a learning environment using this technology (or at least cost/benefit ratio is favorable)? • Will students incur additional costs as a result of incorporating this new technology/approach? • Are there licensing costs associated with the hosting/archivingof materials beyond the life of the course? | |||||||||||||||
8 | Teaching & Learning: | Will it enhance learning? | Consider: | Student engagement, learning styles, and active learning. | • Does this technology support the learning goals that I have identified? • Will students be engaged in authentic, real-world learning as a result of implementing this technology? • Does this technology support peer/self assessment as well as instructor assessment? | |||||||||||||||
9 | Interactivity: | Does it move the learner beyond just reading, viewing and listening? | Consider: | End-user experience, interaction and feedback. | • Does this technology support interactions with peers, instructors and others associated or contributing to the learning tasks? • Does this technology allow for sharing/collaboration with learning communities beyond registered course participants? • Can people easily interact with the products/resources developed in the course? | |||||||||||||||
10 | Organization: | Is an effective organizational system in place to ensure that a particular media or technology is both feasible and practical? | Consider: | Campus resources, skilled development and support staff for instructors and students, and server/hosting technologies. | • Are the support structures in place to maintain and update this technology? • Is there help available for me or my students if we need it? • Is there a way for me to retrieve my material if this technology fails or is replaced? • Does this technology work with the SIS? • Will students need to manage their own accounts? • Will I need to add students manually into the online environment? | |||||||||||||||
11 | Novelty: | Does it offer a welcome relief from instruction that relies heavily on text? | Consider: | Students as digital natives, and their engagement/motivation. | • Will this represent a new approach to teaching for me? • Will this provide a new and (novel) learning experience for students? • Are there examples of use in an educational context? | |||||||||||||||
12 | Speed: | Is it quick to implement and update? | Consider: | Time to produce and modify, and design templates. | • Can I make changes to content and learning activities on the fly? • Is this a new (beta) technology or “tried and true”? • Can I (ultimately) be independent in my development with the use of this technology? | |||||||||||||||
