Summary
\nWhen it comes to online learning, the ability to control the content plays a significant part in a student’s positive experience. Online students who can skip portions of the content as needed or who can choose a format consistent with their learning style, have a better chance of absorbing the material, scoring well on testing and walking away with a more satisfying experience. Yet most research studies center on learner-instructor and learner-learner interactions rather than learner-content interaction. This research study proposes four hypotheses; each with a positive outcome in terms of student achievement or student satisfaction in a multimedia online learning environment. Two random assignment experiments were performed where subjects were divided amongst three groups: a traditional classroom lecture-style group, an online group with limited control over the content and an online group which had full control over the content. The content for these experiments was prepared in the Learning by Asking system (LBA) which incorporates video, slides and notes and also allows the online learner flexibility in adjusting the content to match their own learning style. Based on the results of the pre-and-post test scores and the satisfaction scores, the latter group, online learners who had control over the content outperformed the others. It is important to note that the participants were adults who were likely to be more focused on their education, the experiments occurred over one class period only, every student had an improved test score and for the students in the online groups, the experiment was their first experience with online learning which may have caused them to put more effort into improving their post-test scores.

The study focuses on identifying how this technology is integrated into the classroom. It suggests three standards that have to be addressed in order for the teacher and students to have a successful experience:
\nAlthough we cannot yet offer any definitive conclusions, a number of hypotheses emerged from the data and we have presented three possible instructional design principles. All three of these principles seem to be fundamental in taking advantage of web2.0 tools to create an “always on” learning community.
• To promote an emerging learning community the Web2.0 tools need to be part of the classroom’s daily practices
• The community is the audience and the audience matters • Behavioral guidelines that support and encourage students to share ideas, take intellectual risks and
give and receive feedback are important for the offline and online community.
The study suggests that students need to have the technology present in their daily academic environment. They discussed how blogs can be a very successful tool if done correctly. The article highlights successful experiences of teachers using Edmundo and of a teacher with students with emotional and behavior problems.
\nThe next focus area of the study was ensuring the activity had the right intended audience. Some students felt more comfortable using classroom blogs to express themselves as opposed to other social media sites, such as MySpace. They stated they felt more comfortable expressing their opinions and ideas within this environment.
\nThe last main interest of the study looked at establishing and maintaining appropriate behaviors and guidelines for the activity. The study identifies this as the most important stage. If teachers are able to create a safe and supportive atmosphere for students, they will be confident in sharing their thoughts and opinions of others'.

\nSome very good points were brought up about community colleges. Of course, lack of funding and lack of knowledge of technology by teachers seem to be common problems across all educational levels. Since communty colleges are often in rural area, this can be an issue too as there usually isn't a significant staff to address IT issues so the responsibilty of integrating technology into the classroom falls on the teacher who often don't have much knowledge of technology to begin with and little or no access to training.
\nAnother issue brought up by this article is the expectations and access to technology of the students. While the article states that since college aged kids have grown up with technology they expect to use it in higher education. However, the article pointed out that while that is true for those sho have grown up in the middle income bracket, the access and expectations are different for those in the lower income brackets and suggests that a majority of students in community colleges are from lower income brackets and may need more training in technology.
\nPlanning for technology in institutions should also take into consideration the training needs of the staff and include a way to handle resistance to technology.
\nThere should also be an element of resource planning in terms of time, money, equipment and planning for growth. Additionally, a key to good planning includes inviting input from all levels at the institution. Faculty, staff, and students should all be a part of the process.

\nThe study also identified areas where the tools of the CMS were not being used correctly or to their full potential. The article goes on to identify three levels or \"waves\" for integrating technology into the classroom where wave one improves efficieny of the teacher but doesn't have any impact on learning. Wave 2 mirror traditional teaching and wave 3 is where the technology is actually enhancing the learning.
\nThis study found that most of the functionality of the CMS was being used at either a level of one or two. This could be either because of the low level of knowledge of the tools or the lack of knowledge about how student perceive and use the tools. It was suggested the administration allow adequate time for faculty to become knowledgeable about new technologies, provide training and other support systems and gather feedback from students.

I took this paragraph below directly from the article and it basically sums up what it's about and my thoughts on the topic.
\n\"Interactive simulations and illustrations can produce a much greater depth of understanding of a concept. When virtual manipulatives are used in a classroom setting they can go far beyond chalk and talk. Using a projector, the teacher can conduct onscreen investigations and demonstrate concepts far more easily than with just words and arm-waving.\"
\nAlso mentioned, this world runs on technology and the ability to connect and collaborate with other people that are often nowhere near you. If our kids are expected to be successful in this world today, and tomorrow, then we need to expose them to \"tomorrow\" so they can be ready.

Most schools (in my county anyway) already have computers and doc cameras in each classroom, or some schools share a doc camera per hall/grade or however. But few schools have the interactive whiteboards. I have heard great things about these boards and how they have transformed teaching and learning, as this article states.
\nUsing a white board in the classroom creates a more interactive lesson. Instead of the teacher standing (or sitting), reading from a book that kids can't see, topics/problems/words can be placed on the board for all to see and students can \"touch\" and solve/work it out together.
\n\"Ball (2003) states that the white- board is bringing about changes in traditional teacher-pupil discourse. Communication and discussion among the fellow students also occurs naturally as many students begin to feel more comfortable with one another in this kind of learning environment. Like the teacher, students are now able to both ask questions and provide answers, thereby shifting some of the learning away from the teacher. This discovery approach allows each student to feel more connected and in tune with the learning.\"
