News for Everyone
Website Redesigned -
Well, here we go...a website redesign for our
online learners and teachers.
This time we tried to better organize the content and
address the needs of specific users. This site is geared
toward students, faculty and departmental staff who are
teaching and learning online. Hopefully, it will be a
little easier to find answers to your questions. We are
still tweaking some areas, so let us know how we can
improve. What information do you need?
Meet the Staff -
Come by anytime to say hello! We are eager to talk about
your ideas for teaching and learning online and are here
to help with your design and development. We are in UW
133 in Victoria.

world of blogging has exploded over the past year and we are jumping
on the wagon! What is blogging? In its simplest form, it's an online
diary--a web log of one's opinions and thoughts on a subject. A blog
is typically a collection of journal entries by the blogger, with an
option for visitors to add their own comments. So, blogging has
essentially become a network of community discussion on any and all
topics. See Wikipedia's
definition and history of the blog. Visit our blog,

Revised
WebQuest Tutorial - WebQuests are structured, web-based learning
activities that guide students through the process of gathering
information to solving a problem and completing a project. WebQuests
are often built and used by K12 teachers to analysis and
critical-thinking skills in their students. Students in our
Curriculum and Instruction program (School of Education) are often
required to build sample WebQuests as part of their
coursework.
