Instructor's Instructional Computing Environment


A special instructional computing management system, Figure 8, has been developed which allows instructors to setup, Figure 9, and monitor the on-line components of the course. The class roster is imported from the University computerized registration system. Once the roster is in place, students can sign on with their names, course name, and passwords they select. This gives them access to the lessons assigned by the instuctor.

Special tools for instructors have been developed to facilitate the use of instructional technology. For example, instructors select the lessons for a course from a catalog of lessons. The management system automatically records the lessons completed by individual students and the time spent working them.

Information about lessons completed is combined with exam scores, quiz scores, lab reports, and homework in the integrated on-line gradebook. Tools which make it easy to view, plot, and scale grades and assign course grades are provided for the instructor, Figure 10. Students have access to their scores only, and to overall course information such as bar graphs of exam or quiz scores.
