Abstract: The presentation will describe the development
and implementation of an interactive "paperless" web
course (INM3260 Systems Analysis And Design) taught to on campus
and off campus students during the winter and summer quarters.
The presentation will also discuss the impact of using the interactive
"paperless" approach on student's motivation, learning
experience, and achievement. All components of this course are
totally
online and paperless: interactive online grade book, online quizzes
and exams scored by an interactive self-grading program, online
assignments and paperless posting of assignments, online posting
of course project,
online discussion, online syllabus, and interactive self-learning

Description: The presentation will describe the development
and implementation of an interactive "paperless" web
course (INM3260 Systems Analysis And Design) taught to on campus
and off campus students during the winter and summer quarters
this year. I will discuss how this course capitalized on the wired
infrastructure and ubiquitous notebook computing environment of
this campus, which is the nation's first laptop university. The
presentation will also discuss the impact of using the interactive
"paperless" approach on student's motivation, learning
experience, and achievement. All components of this course are
totally online and
paperless: interactive online grade book, online quizzes and exams
scored by an interactive self-grading program, online assignments
and paperless posting of assignments, online posting of course
project, online discussion, online syllabus, and interactive self-learning
web
modules. The interactive self-learning web modules, developed
in Toolbook, were designed to help students comprehend, visualize,
review, synthesize, and troubleshoot certain difficult areas in
the course.
The presenter will also demonstrate the use of the course template
and the interactive module templates to train other faculty members
to develop similar interactive paperless courseware. The presentation
will be given in two parts: a live demo of the class through live
internet
connection and a presentation of how the templates have been used
to train other faculty members.
