Introduction
Project Description
The EdWeb project includes the analysis, design, and development of an instructional website. Unlike the Webinar project, your EdWeb focuses on asynchronous instruction. It is an individual project, which extends through the first two courses in the eLearning program: In INTE 5660 (this course), you will analyze and design your EdWeb by completing this EdWeb Analysis and Design (A&D) document. In INTE 5670 Developing eLearning Instruction, you will add new sections to this EdWeb A&D document. You will conduct formative evaluations on a design prototype and a functional prototype of your EdWeb. You will also complete all of the instruction, i.e., you will build out (develop) all of your Absorb, Do, and Connect activities plus all of the dual coding for at least two objectives. The word complete is in quotations. If you plan to include learning activities like video, animations, simulations, or podcasts in your EdWeb, you may learn how to use technologies to generate them in INTE 5680 Integrating Media into eLearning Environments. Those of you taking INTE 5680 this summer (it is OK to take INTE 5680 before INTE 5670) will be able to add learning activities you create in INTE 5680 to your EdWeb during INTE 5670. Those of you taking INTE 5680 after you take INTE 5670 can add activities to your EdWeb as you complete them in INTE 5680. The topic or focus of your EdWeb is your decision. We encourage you to select something you can use at work. If that is not possible, then perhaps you can develop an EdWeb for a non-profit at which you volunteer, the school your child attends, the retirement facility where you parents or grandparents live, or perhaps a business you want to start. Your EdWeb can be either self-paced or group-paced eLearning, like our INTE 5660 course. The EdWeb examples we provide in the course shell are all self-paced eLearning. We think our INTE 5660 course provides a good example of a group-paced course, though it is much larger in scope than what we would expect for a grouppaced EdWeb. It is a good idea to select a small topic. Your EdWeb will ideally take your audience about an hour to complete if it is self-paced instruction. If you choose to design group-paced instruction, your EdWeb would ideally be a 10-day unit (one hour of instruction per day). The research indicates that it takes approximately 200 to 400 hours to create one hour of self-paced eLearning. There is an article about this development time in DocSharing and more information below. We believe that a 10day unit of group-paced eLearning would take a similar amount of time to create, though the research on time to develop group-paced eLearning is not well documented or researched. Most importantly, your EdWeb must apply the effective instructional and visual design strategies we study in this course and INTE 5670.
While the EdWeb project is an individual project, we will form some small groups using similar topics, type of instruction (self-paced vs. group-paced) and/or similar audiences as the grouping criteria. The purpose of these groups will only be to support each other with activities like: Idea generation (brainstorming) Sharing learner needs and characteristic info Proof reading documents before submission You can decide as a group how much group activity you will do. We offer these groups in support of our Social CIV, but they are optional. There is no requirement for any group activity. There will be no grade for group work and you will not develop a team agreement. Jackie and Dave will meet with groups via Adobe Connect to discuss learning objectives and assessments during Unit 7.

Executive Summary
Name: Dawn Turek Date: May 2, 2011 EdWeb Title: 10 Artists of Cubism Summaries: 1. Instructional setting: This course will be a two-week section (or 10 days) for a University Art History course. The mission of the course is to not only be available for online learning but be more exciting than other online art history courses. This course will be more fun and exciting since the course will have a different and fun format. There will be a greater retention of the subject matter. 2. Goals and outcomes: Goals are to create an online learning environment where the student learns and retains knowledge about Cubist art. 3. Learner needs and characteristics: This course will be for under graduate art history students in a university of college setting. Ages will range from 18 years+ 4. Instructional objectives: 1. Given a cubism job aid (which provides definitions, list of artists, and critical features of Cubism artworks) students will be able to recognize three critical Cubist elements in each of the 30 different Cubist art works. 2. Given the Cubism job aid (which provides definitions, list of artists, and critical features of Cubism artworks) and 30 cubist paintings. Students will be able to identify the artist of 1 paintings from each of the 10 Cubist artists. 3. Using Job Aid (which provides definitions, list of artists, and critical features of Cubism artworks) students will be able to critique a EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 6 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011

Instructional Setting
Describe the following: a. What is the name of the organization for which you are developing your EdWeb? b. What is the mission of this organization? c. Is this a new course or a conversion of an existing course? d. Instructional need or opportunity: What business or learning problem does your EdWeb need to address? e. Will this online course be self-paced or group-paced? (For example, INTE 5660 is a group paced, online course. The examples we provide in the eCollege course shell are all self-paced.) Include a rationale for your decision and describe the benefits and potential drawbacks of your answer. f. What hardware and software are your learners likely to be using? Example: Are they using MS Office and are therefore familiar with that interface? g. What browsers and version numbers are your learners using? h. What kind of Internet access do your learners have, i.e., cable, dish, T-1, phone? i. j. What security tools or controls, such as virus scanning software, firewalls or filters, do your learners use or are in place on the networks your learners use? Who are your stakeholders: For example, in a K-12 setting, the stakeholders are probably students, teachers, parents, and perhaps the school board and/or the community. In a corporate setting, the stakeholders are probably learners, managers, executive sponsors, perhaps HR, and the CEO or board of directors. Stakeholders are those who have a specific interest in the project, outcome, or budget. List your stakeholders by title and/or name here.
k. What other instructional context issues, challenges or problems are important in this situation?
Instructional Setting
a. Name of organization: University of Colorado at Denver EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 8 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
b. Mission of organization: UC Denver is a diverse teaching and learning community that creates, discovers and applies knowledge to improve the health and well-being of Colorado and the world. c. New course or conversion of existing course: This is a two week section of a existing course F A 2610 OL1 Art History Survey II. d. Instructional need or opportunity: Art history courses both face to face and online can sometimes be dry and boring. There is a need to make the layout of the course more exiting by adding group discussions and activities. e. Pacing and rationale: This course will be a group paced learning environment. Through discussion and activities it will make the content more exciting. Some have troubles engaging in group discussion but through activities and fun reading will hope get students involved. In traditional F2F courses the students are sometimes shy and may not interact as much as an online course. Making an online course discussions and activity much more rich and fulfilling. f. Hardware and software: Student will have access to Microsoft Office. This will be an upper level course so by now students have had some practice of these programs.
g. Browsers and version numbers: Students will have the newest up dates of their current browsers. Supported browsers will include Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Chrome and internet explorer. h. Internet access: Student will have broadband cable or wireless internet access and they will also have access to campus computers if needed. i. j. Firewalls, parental control, access, or security: Students will have a firewall on their personal computers. Stakeholders: Students, Teachers, University

Education levels, degrees, etc. Other factors, e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, languages, disabilities?
b. Are these learners volunteers? That is, are they required to take this instruction, or will they consider your EdWeb self-improvement? Note: Volunteer learners do not have to participate - they can leave your EdWeb at any time. Your challenge is to keep them motivated. c. What are your learners experiences and attitudes toward the topic of your EdWeb? Do they have a positive, mixed or negative attitude toward your EdWeb topic? What relevant prior experiences do your learners have with the content of your EdWeb? Examples: Perhaps your students have no prior experience with a specific piece of equipment, but are familiar with similar equipment, e.g., the instructional content is panoramic photography and the students are photographers who use digital SLRs. The EdWeb topic is using smart boards, and students have extensive experience using traditional whiteboards. This information is important because in your Absorb activities you can compare and contrast prior experiences with new information, helping learners connect the new with the old. d. What prior experiences do your learners have with technology and eLearning? Have none, few, some, or most of your learners taken online instruction before? Do your learners use the Internet for educational or professional reasons? Do your learners generally have a positive or negative attitude toward eLearning? Online instruction can be frightening or frustrating to users with no prior experiences with eLearning. Additionally, users who have had negative experiences with eLearning may not expect to like your EdWeb. When you design your EdWeb, you want to consider these prior experiences. Motivation precedes effort, so an important part of your EdWeb Design is motivating your learners. e. What are the learning styles and skills or your learners? Please read the article entitled Impact of Learning Styles in DocSharing. The author is a graduate of our program. f. What is the reading level of your learners? Note: American corporations assume a 10th grade reading level. In INTE 5670, you will run a readability test on your EdWeb and compare the results to your answer to this question. EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 12 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
g. What attitude do your learners have toward instruction? Do they have a positive, mixed or negative attitude toward instruction? What do they want or expect from instruction?
h. Describe other learner needs or characteristics important and/or relevant to this project.
Compare the ILT eLearning Program Timeline with the requirements of your EdWeb. Your EdWeb will be nearly complete at the end of the Certificate Program. You will complete the Analysis and Design in this course, INTE 5660. You will develop the instruction for at least two objectives in INTE 5670 and you may add special features such as podcasts, animations, simulations and other multimedia in INTE 5680. Note: INTE 5680 does not have any assignment that requires you to enhance or update your EdWeb. On what date will you complete the Certificate Program, i.e., INTE 5660, INTE 5670, and INTE 5680? Does that date fit with the needs and/or expectations of the organization sponsoring your EdWeb? If not, describe how you plan to handle the discrepancy. Who are the subject matter experts (SMEs)? Are you the content expert? If not, is an expert available to help you develop the content and review it for accuracy? Do you anticipate any problems in working with this expert, e.g., time available, schedules, time zone differences? If you are a content expert, you may still want a second set of eyes to review your content. Who will be available to provide this support? What other experts or resources do you need? For example, do you need to work with the IT department when you are ready to implement your EdWeb? When do you plan to discuss this project with each expert? Identify your experts and decide when you will inform them of your EdWeb using the table below.
Project Management
Who has to approve your EdWeb? For example, must someone in your school or HR department approve your design before you develop it? When do you need to get their approval? List the names and titles of the people who need to approve your EdWeb. What, if any, organizational changes challenges might you encounter? EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 14 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
When eLearning projects fail, it is frequently due to resistance to organizational change. Are you breaking new ground in your organization with your EdWeb? See the Lance Dublin chapter entitled Success With E-Learning: People Issues Are the Key (available at http://tinyurl.com/ylfhbqt). Please use titles, not personal names, in your responses: Who directly supervises the learners who will take your EdWeb? Does this person support eLearning? Does this person support your approach to eLearning? Are there people who are threatened by or fearful of eLearning and/or your EdWeb? If yes, list their titles and how your EdWeb threatens or concerns each person. List each group of stakeholders and describe how and when you will inform them about your EdWeb. What other resources or project management issues are important or relevant to this project?

c. Approximately how many hours will you need to develop your EdWeb? As a rule of thumb, one hour of self-paced, online instruction requires between 200 and 400 hours of analysis, design, and development. Given our example budget of 270 hours, you would only be able to complete about one hour of self-paced instruction by the end of INTE 5670. Of course, you may work on your EdWeb in INTE 5680 and/or after you complete the Certificate Program. To estimate how long it will take students to complete your EdWeb, consider how long it takes to complete the same course in a traditional, face-to-face (F2F) course. Self-paced eLearning typically takes the learner about 60% of the time required to complete the same F2F course. For example, review the data below for converting a 16-hour seminar to self-paced eLearning: F2F instruction time (hours): 16 Equivalent online instruction time (16 x 60%): 9.6 Minimum development hours required (9.6 x200): 1920 Maximum development hours required (9.6 x EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 16 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
400): 3840 It will take between 1920 and 3840 hours to replace the F2F seminar with a self-paced eLearning course Calculating the time needed to create group-paced instruction is also difficult to gauge. Brian Chapman estimates 34 hours of analysis, design, and development per hour of instructor-led instruction (ILT) (see page 20 21 of this PDF file: http://bit.ly/gvwwOR). A 10-day unit of group-paced eLearning (one hour per day) might take about 350 hours to create. There are factors that can affect the amount of time it will take to develop your group-paced instruction. For example, if some materials are already available for use in a Web-based format, the amount of development time might be less. If you will need to convert media for use online, development time may increase. If you will need to design and develop media from scratch to use with your eLearning, your development time will significantly increase. For more information about estimating self-paced eLearning development projects, see How Long Does It Take in DocSharing. Notice that one of the variables is expertise. This applies to your expertise as a subject matter expert, as an instructional designer, and with eLearning authoring tools. For more information about estimating group-paced eLearning development projects, see the two worksheets DocSharing developed by Brent Wilson, Ph.D. and his students, which may prove useful for calculating time and adjusting time estimates for complexity. How does your Time Budget (paragraph b above) compare to the number of hours you will probably need to develop your EdWeb (paragraph c)? Are those numbers close enough to make this project doable? If not, you must either increase the amount of time available or reduce the scope of the project. Our example course would take at least 1920 hours to develop, but only 270 hours are available in our example Time Budget! That is a significant misalignment. There are several ways to reduce the scope of your EdWeb. If it is part of a larger course or curriculum, consider converting fewer units or sections of the overall program to eLearning. For a stand-alone program, you may not be able to include as many objectives as you might like.
Time Budget: 340 hours Hours you need to develop your EdWeb (please show the calculations): This will be a two week course or 10 days. I expect the student to spend at least two hours a day in the course. A total of 20 hours will be need for the student to complete this course. "Brian Chapman estimates 34 hours of analysis, design, and development per hour of instructor-led instruction." So I plan to spend about 340 hours on this course. Which is about 21 hours a week through a 16 week course of 5670. Compare Time Budget with hours you need to develop your EdWeb: I will have time to complete the 340 hours in 5670 and beyond if needed.
Action verbs are measureable, e.g. calculate, match, select. See http://bit.ly/fb0Kj0 for a good list of action verbs. Note: Understand is not an action verb because it is not clear how will you measure understand. Similarly, words like appreciate, be familiar with and know do not describe an observable behavior. The word learn is too general to be measurable. You need to dig deeper to describe exactly what the student must do (something observable) to demonstrate they understand, appreciate, are familiar with, know, or have learned. Avoid the use of these types of non-action verbs when writing your instructional objectives. Criteria are statements about how you will measure success, e.g., 7 out of 10 correct or The essay must address these variables. This UCD Faculty tutorial is a good resource for how to write instructional objectives: http://www.ucdenver.edu/faculty_staff/faculty/center-for-facultydevelopment/Documents/Tutorials/Assessment/index.htm. Use the following template for writing the instructional objectives for your EdWeb: (condition) . . . students will (be able to) (action verb) . . . according to a specific criteria. Examples of Objectives Given the Cloud Type job aid, students will correctly identify 15 out of 20 photographs of the following three types of clouds: Stratus, Cumulus, and Cirrus. Given the Writing job aid, students will write a 50 to 75 word essay describing three writing techniques Ernest Hemmingway used in his novels. By the end of the guided instruction and practice sessions, students will be able to parallel park within 18 inches of the curb within three attempts, without touching the traffic cones or white lines.
Objectives and Mastery Assessment Sometimes a well-written objective can also be your mastery assessment. Examples of mastery assessments from the example objectives above: Given the Cloud Type job aid, correctly identify 15 out of 20 photographs of the following three types of clouds: Stratus, Cumulus, and Cirrus. Given the Writing job aid write a 50 to 75 word essay describing three writing techniques Ernest Hemmingway used in his novels. By the end of the guided instruction and practice sessions, parallel park within 18 inches of the curb within three attempts, without touching the traffic cones or white lines.
Job Aids and Memorization Job aids replace memorization. The first question to ask yourself as you develop your instructional objectives is, "Is it necessary for my learners to memorize this information?" If not, then a job aid is a good strategy. EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 19 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
When you include a job aid in your objective, it means your EdWeb will help students practice using the job aid so they are ready to use it after they finish your EdWeb. In other words, the Do and Connect activities you design will focus on examples or cases where students can use the job aid. Job aids are also crucial if students must apply what they learned with few or no errors, perhaps for safety reasons. Our memories can fail but a job aid can enable a novice to perform nearly as well as an expert. As you write your objectives, be sure to ask yourself these two questions: 1. Is it necessary for your learners to memorize this information? 2. After completing your EdWeb, is it important for your learners to perform the task(s) perfectly? Assessments and Volunteer students If your students are volunteers, taking your EdWeb for personal or self-improvement reasons, measuring how much they learned involves self-assessment, rather than mastery assessment. The mastery assessments listed above could also be selfassessments.
Examples
Goal or Outcome

Learning Activities
a. Use the table below to describe the activities you plan to include for each objective. In the first column, enter all your objectives from the Instructional Objectives table above. EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 24 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
In the second column, describe four or more activities for each objective. Each objective will probably have at least one Absorb, two Do and one Connect activity. Note: Horton recommends at least 50% of our activities should be Do activities (p. 106) For each activity, indicate if it is an Absorb, Do, or Connect activity and provide a page reference from the Horton text to justify each activity. In the last column, list the applicable CIV(s) for each activity. If you feel the justification for connecting a CIV to a particular learning activity is not self-evident, use the row at the bottom of the table to supply justification. Be sure to identify the specific objective, learning activity and CIV you are addressing. Note the additional rows in the table, which ask you to do some counting and percentage calculations. b. What additional issues, related to learning activities, are important or relevant to this project?
Note: Once you complete this table, with all the objectives, associated Absorb, Do and Connect activities, and connections to our CIVs, the instruction for your EdWeb is nearly complete. See the table below for an example.
Activity
Students may view the instructional DVD at home as often as desired. Students will practice parallel parking using the driving simulator. Students will practice parallel parking in the practice area using the white lines and traffic cones to represent other vehicles. In small groups of three or four, students will tell stories about other drivers with whom they have ridden. They will describe how well the other drivers did with parallel parking.

Application: My course will contain many photos and discussions but most involved will be a virtual museum. I will choose an authoring tool that will be the best for that application. h. Tentative decision: Wix
Reflection Questions
a. How do you feel about your EdWeb Analysis and Design? Does it feel accurate and complete? Is there anything you feel is missing? I feel that is not complete or accurate. I feel that my experience in any of this information is missing. I feel I need to research the authoring tool much more before I can decide on the one I plan to use. b. What was the most challenging or difficult part of writing this document? I have had a hard time because, I have no experience in the field and no job so I am going purely on my experience which is minimal. The calculating of time was also very confusing to me. c. What questions or concerns do you have? I am concerned that I don't have any SMIs or data or measurements? d. How are you feeling about developing your EdWeb, based on this document? Better than I was a the beginning but more lost in the paperwork.
Note 1: Once the Analysis and Design sections of your proposal are complete, remember to return to and complete the Executive Summary. Note 2: In INTE 5670, you will add several new sections to the Design section. For example, you will add a section about the interface of your EdWeb, including EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 32 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
typography, images, and color scheme. You will also describe your formative evaluation plans for the Design and Functional Prototypes.

Please keep the table of contents, introduction, instructions and evaluation criteria in this document when you submit it.
Design Prototype
Typography
Your typography needs to be easily readable and generally sans serif fonts are easier to read online than serif fonts. That is particularly true for body text. See Horton page 516. Also, your body text needs to be web-safe. See http://www.fonttester.com/help/list_of_web_safe_fonts.html. Your headings and titles can be fonts that are not web-safe but you will have to create each of them in Fireworks or some other graphics program and then import them into your EdWeb as a graphic. Demonstrate your typography in this section. See example below and notice that each font is the size and font type that the description says it is, i.e., the font for heading 1 is actually Arial 26. In the Color Scheme section below, you will indicate the color(s) for headings 1 and 2 and the body text.
Color Scheme
This section needs to include three sub-sections: Justification of your color scheme Identify which color scheme tool you used, e.g., Kuler, Color Schemer etc. Provide a table, like the example below, to specify your color scheme, the RGB values, the Hex numbers, and the purpose of each color. Be sure to include the actual color in the first column and the name of your EdWeb in the title.
Your color scheme justification needs to describe how your color scheme is consistent with or appropriate for your content and your audience. For example, if you are teaching archeology to college students, a monochromatic tan color scheme may be a good choice. If your EdWeb is for high school students, perhaps you want a grunge color scheme. If your EdWeb is for health care workers, perhaps you want to use a blue/grey color scheme because everything else in their world is red and white. A white background online is the same as looking directly into a flashing flood light. It is the reason our eyes get so tired when reading online. Between the flickering of the light and the bright white light, our eyes get very tired. So, avoid white backgrounds or at least make the white background area small and then use a strong background color for the header, footer, and navigation areas. Color Scheme Example The following is from one of our previous students.
wopD4CB.tmpMicrosoft_Word_Document1.docx
Using Kuler I uploaded a Picasso image and took the color palate from it. I am choosing a very monochromatic color scheme like that of Picasso and Braque who were the founders of Cubism. Cubist color schemes were simplified, tending to be nearly monochromatic (hues of tan, brown, gray, cream, green, or blue preferred) in order not to distract the viewer from the artist's primary interest--the structure of form itself. EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 36 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
Justification and description of the layout of your Absorb, Do, and Connect activities
The goal of this section is for you to describe and justify the interface design of your Absorb, Do, and Connect activities. This is important for two reasons: You will develop these three layouts in your actual Design Prototype and ask your Formative Evaluation participants for feedback on these three layouts. We want you to consider the possibility of having a different layout for each of the three types of activities, i.e., Absorb, Do, and Connect. Perhaps having a different layout for each type of activity will help your students know what is expected of them. Example: The Absorb activity layout includes an icon that is a pair of eyeglasses and background color is pale blue. The Do activity page layout includes an drum icon and the background color is pale orange. The Absorb activity page layout includes an icon of a chain or set of links, and the background color is pale yellow. Once you have something you think will work for the three layouts, list the things that concern you about those layouts and then develop a couple of Formative Evaluation questions (section E below) to address those concerns. In this section, provide the following: Briefly describe the preliminary layout of your Absorb, Do, and Connect activity pages.
My preliminary alyout of my absorb, do, and connect activities is the same as the rest of the design except I have switched the top colors around a bit to show that it is a different page. Justify your layout design, i.e., what are you trying to tell your students through these three different layouts?
These different color will help student decifer what page they are on and what kind of activity they will be doing.
Formative Evaluation Process: The brief description of your formative evaluation process outlines how you will conduct your formative evaluation. For example, will you meet individually, face-to-face with each of your participants during and/or after they review your Design Prototype? Will you email the Design Prototype to your participants, along with the Formative Evaluation questions and have each of the participants email back to you their answers to those questions? Will you have all
participants review your Design Prototype and then get them together for a brownbag lunch to answer and discuss the Formative Evaluation questions? Each of those plans is appropriate. You may have a different plan. Note: It is important to set the expectations of your Formative Evaluation reviewers, i.e., explain that you are asking them for their feedback on the interface design. You might say something like this in whatever communication you have with them: I plan to keep email and phone contact with my participants. Unfortunaely I will not be able to meet with half of them f2f. I will email them a link to my Design Prototype and a link to a formative evaluation and give them a window of time with many reminders to please give me feedback. This is an evaluation of the appearance and layout of the 10 Artists of Cubism. The goal(s) of this EdWeb are: Goal #1 -Student will have an understanding of what makes a Cubist art work. Goal #2 - Student will be able to identify artworks of cubist artist. Goal #3 - Students will become more comfortable talking and critiquing art.
Please help me improve the way this eLearning course will look. The questions in this evaluation focus on interface issues such as color scheme, layout, and fonts. In the future, I will ask you for input on some of the content of the course.
Formative Evaluation Participants: You need a minimum of 4 formative evaluation participants and a maximum of 8. Please do not use family members, i.e., no spouses, parents, etc. The brief description of the students who will participate in your formative evaluation should be similar to one of the following examples.
Formative Evaluation Questions: Your formative evaluation questions need to focus on the questions you have about the interface design of your EdWeb. The questions below are just examples. It is helpful to ask your formative evaluation participants to explain their answers because this type of feedback can help you identify specific revisions you need to make. It does not make sense to ask participants if the navigation is easy to use because in a design prototype the navigation does not work. Save that question for the Formative Evaluation of your Functional Prototype. You will ask participants (perhaps the same participants) if the navigation is easy for them to actually use in that evaluation.

I dislike it a lot because ____________________ I dislike it because ________________________ Neutral but suggest the following changes_____ I like it because __________________________ I like it a lot because _____________________
Note: Notice that each of the Likert scale questions have the same polarity, i.e., option 1 is the most negative option and option 5 is the most positive option. You could switch these so 1 is the most positive and 5 is the most negative but it is important for all Likert scale questions to have the same polarity.

3 On the reference s page it would be helpful to add links that will follow through to the website, not sure if that actually will be in your final piece but thought I would throw it out there..
I like the listing of the artists on the lefty side but might put a "start here" section and/or change the backgro und colors for each artists section.
easy to read
Good colors, especially for cubism. Easy to figure out where to go and what to look for.
Designwise the website draws you in. Seems to be organize d in it's layout. There is a weird light flash when going between pages.
Mean [average] score of all your reviewers on this question: 3.83 Revisions you will make to your EdWeb based on this data. Using a different program so hopefully 'weird light flash' will go away. I like the idea of different background colors for each artist. Then maybe follow through with those colors for the activities?
While we think it is a good idea to use Likert scale questions for formative evaluations, you do not have to use that question style. If you used a different question style, please create a table similar to the one shown below for reporting your data.

The goal of the home page of this Design Prototyp e is to excite students about this topic. How would you rate the home page in terms of exciting students about this topic?
Not to keen on the brown layout, Maybe go into some color theory and utilize the colors that can enhance feelings and emotions.
I like that there are visuals on the home page. that is what interests me to see more about the artists maybe example s from each when you roll over the artists name or maybe the dates of their life/work .
I think the site could deliver more visually, particula rly since it's about art. Would like to see more pictures, colors.... more design element s.
dependin g on the age of the student will depend on how excited they get. Older students would find this exceptabl e.Younger students need things like animation , scrolling text or things they can click on.
Right now it is pretty basic certain it will get better with additiona l content.
Mean [average] score of all your reviewers on this question: 3 Revisions you will make to your EdWeb based on this data. Well I will be sticking with my brown color scheme. I explained to the non-brown lovers why. I also explained who my audience will be. And of course there will be more information. My reviewers didn't seem to get that this was a 'design' prototype and not all the information was there. I did explain all this to all of my reviewers.

I would like your feedbac k on the fonts I used for the heading s.
Fonts are easy to read but not super engagin g. Would like bigger, chunkier text. Not crazy about the artist names in italics.
Fonts for artists and navigatio n are great. I think that a more cubed font (no pun intended) would push your ideas further.
Mean [average] score of all your reviewers on this question: 4.5 Revisions you will make to your EdWeb based on this data. Well these are my artist friends not my web friends so the don't know that some fonts don't look good on the web. The artist names are angled not italicized but that will be different in the new design.

The image on the site map page of the Design Prototyp e is an image I am going to use to show the big picture of this lesson. It is called an Advance Organize r (AO). On a scale of 1 to 5, please tell me what you think of this AO
I like the design very much - it goes with the theme of the class. It is a bit hard to read some of the words themselve s - maybe make them darker than the rest or more contrast between word and backgrou nd colors
I think it is a great example of cubism and works with the design colors you have on the site. It is a known work but still a unique one.
I like it a lot if you can click on the topics and it goes into the pages
For me, the image is the strongest part of the website. Would like it bigger.
EdWeb Analysis make to your Revisions you will and Design EdWeb based on this data. Its funny my one reviewer Page though my AO is a known cubist work lol. I like the idea of being able to click the AO 49 of 81 and go to the different sections. I will also pay close attention to my contrast between INTE 5660, Spring 2011 words and backgrounds.

Don't like the color tone for virtual museum, too difficult. try somethin g darker or lighter.
I would choose another color, to stimulate more. I love browns but it feels to much like a learning page, maybe another color would enhance a students learning because the page doesn't look like a learning website. I hope that makes sense.

Icons: Describe and provide examples of the icons you plan to use throughout your EdWeb, e.g., a print icon if you want students to print a handout or job aid or a Do icon for when you want students to practice or do something.
Description of the icon, i.e., what is the meaning of the icon I am planning on using different color backgrounds for each section. I believe the icon will only distract from the artworks.
Links: Are you going to provide the URL or are you going to link to the site from a few words in the text? Other Common Elements: Describe any other common elements you plan to use throughout your EdWeb, e.g., a cartoon character who will introduce each new topic or an avatar students will use when they need help.
FUNTIONAL PROTOTYPE 1. Functional Prototype Content: Copy the section(s) of your Content Inventory that apply to the objective you will use for your Functional Prototype and paste that information into this new section in your EdWeb A&D document. 2. Functional Prototype Formative Evaluation Process: Provide a brief description of your Formative Evaluation process. 3. Functional Prototype Formative Evaluation Participants: Provide a brief description of the four students, users, and/or subject matter experts who will participate in the Formative Evaluation of your Functional Prototype. 4. Functional Prototype Formative Evaluation questions: List the questions you are going to ask your Formative Evaluation participants.
5. Navigation Justification: Using quotations or paraphrases from Horton, justify your navigation. 6. EdWeb Reflections: Answer the three reflection questions listed below.
1. Functional Prototype Content: Once you select an objective for your Functional Prototype, copy the section in your Content Inventory that addresses that objective and paste it into your EdWeb A&D document. Objective List your formal instructional objective in the shaded table below i.e., copy your refined objective in the box below. Given the Cubism job aid (which provides definitions, time periods, list of artists, and critical features of Cubism artworks) and 10 Cubist paintings, students will be able to identify the artist all 10 paintings.
a. Interesting Introduction: This is important! See Horton p. 296. This is essentially your objective restated to be interesting and motivating to your learners. Use the shaded table below. After completion of this course you will know ten different cubist artists!
b. Mastery test questions to measure the degree to which learners achieved this objective. How you will measure if a student has mastered this objective? Your mastery test is essentially the criteria part of your objective. If your learners are volunteers, you can still provide a mastery test but call it a self-check or quiz. It will provide important information for you about what your learners learned. Hint: Frequently, a well written objective can become a mastery test question. Example objective: Given a list of the 6 steps in the Shelter program, students will arrange the steps in the correct order with 100% accuracy. EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 60 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
Example mastery test question: Below are the six steps in the Shelter program. Arrange the steps in the correct order using your mouse to drag and drop the steps. Identify the artist of each of the ten artworks.
c. Description of Content Go to your EdWeb A&D document, Section V: Design, Subsection 3: Learning Activities. Copy the description of your learning activities for this objective into column one of the shaded table below. Fill in columns 2 and 3, to describe existing content and images you will use to dual code the text. Add rows as necessary.
Learning Activities (from your EdWeb A&D document), Use one row for each Absorb, each Do and each Connect activity. Absorb activities Reading of articles and internet links will inform and entertain the students while absorbing information about each artist. Students are required to take a trip to their local art museum and EdWeb Analysis and Design
Status of Content for each Learning Activity. If the content exists, where is it? What is the file name(s)? If you are creating this content, what resources will you use to create it?
Dual coding and picture superiority effect. What images do you have or will you create to dual code each of your Learning Activities? I will have pictures and articles take from books and internet sources to accompany the readings.
I will be posting articles and links to good websites about each artist and their works.
I will open a discuss forum for students to discuss their findings from the local museums.
I will have a local picture of the Denver art museum and a link to its web site. Page 61 of 81
find the cubist artists and jot down information and observations they make. Through virtual museums learners can search and catalog artworks in a way that is memorable to them. Do activities Learners will compare and contrast the different artists and the styles and techniques. Connect activities This will be in a discussion forum for all to discuss together the different styles and techniques of each artist. I will have pictures of each style used in different works of art. I will find or possibly create a virtual museum for the students to explore. I will find and /or create a virtual museum picture and website link.
d. Job aid Job aids replace memorization. Does your objective call for a job aid? If yes, describe it here. Should your objective call for a job aid because it is not important for learners to memorize this information? If yes, then revise your objective above. Does this job aid exist? If yes, include the file name. If no, what resources will you use to develop it? Yes I will have a job aid which provides definitions, time periods, list of artists, and critical features of Cubism artworks. I will use art history books, the internet and Microsoft word to create the job aid.
e. Our CIVs Describe specifically how you will apply our CIVs to this objective. You may not be able to apply all five of them to this objective but use the shaded table below to describe your ideas or possible strategies for how to EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 62 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
apply at least some of our CIVs to this objective. Be sure to review what you wrote in your EdWeb A&D document about applying our CIVs. Given the Cubism job aid (which provides definitions, time periods, list of artists, and critical features of Cubism artworks) and 10 Cubist paintings, students will be able to identify the artist all 10 paintings.
Objective
CIV
Below, describe specifically how you will apply at least some of our CIVs to the instruction for this objective, i.e., which of your activities exemplify each of our CIVs? The learners will use the job aid to help remember the various artists and their artworks. Using painting from each artist the learners will be able to see them and look up more. Discussions will be held on the learners findings at museums. A trip to the local museum and a possible virtual museum will take the learners out of the classroom. Students will discuss the various styles and techniques of each artist and help each other see things they may have missed themselves.
f. Your theory of learning Review and revise, if necessary, your theory of learning, which you described in your EdWeb A&D document, Section V: Design, Subsection 1a: Instructional Design Model and Theory of Learning. Describe your theory of learning in column one below and describe how you will apply that theory to this objective in column two. Example: If your theory of learning says that students learn by reflecting on their prior experiences and personalizing new information, then what activities have you included above, in support of this objective, that provide for that reflection and the personalizing of the new information? EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 63 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
Your theory of learning Learning happens when information is stored into learner's memory in an organize and meaningful way. Making personal connections helps a student not only learn but remember. When the learners relate, have a personal conversation and or get their hands wet I believe lessons are better absorbed.
How will you apply your theory of learning to this objective. Going to the museum a student is enveloped in an art world and will remember the artworks they have to search out. Using the job aid student can look for the artworks we discuss.
g. Other than Hortons Absorb, Do, Connect model (section 1.3 above), our CIVs (section 1.5) and your theory of learning (section 1.6) , what, if any, other instructional design models do you plan to use? In your EdWeb A&D document, Section V, Subsection 1c, you may have identified other learning theories or instructional design models you want to use. If you completed that section, please list those theories or models in column 1 of the table below. In column 2, describe how you plan to apply those theories or models to this objective. In column 3, describe how these additional models overlap, complement, or compete with Horton and our CIVs.
Specifics about how you plan to apply this model to this objective
How this model overlaps, complements, or competes with Horton and our CIVs.
The cognitive model of learning is used in my course with emphasis on Discovery Learning
A trip to the museum will help learners discover new works of art and relate them to the course.
This complements the CIV's in that is an activity and social lesson. I encourage students to go with another student if possible. To share and discuss their findings.
h. Notes or comments Use the box below to describe anything not covered in the sections above.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2. Functional Prototype Formative Evaluation Process: How will you conduct the Formative Evaluation of your Functional Prototype? For example, will you meet individually, face-to-face with each of your participants during and/or after they review your Functional Prototype? Will you email the Functional Prototype to your participants, along with the Formative Evaluation questions and have each of the participants email back to you their answers to those questions? Will you have all participants review your Functional Prototype and then get them together for a brownbag lunch to answer and discuss your Formative Evaluation questions? I will be doing my formative evaluation similar to the way I did it for my design prototype. I will email all my participants with the link to the site and user name and password to access the course. I will also send them a link to the evaluation form I will be creating in survey monkey. I had good luck with this the last time so I hope for the same response! EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 65 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
3. Functional Prototype Formative Evaluation Participants: You need a minimum of four formative evaluation participants. All of these participants may be potential students or users or you may decide you want to have one or two subject matter experts provide feedback on the accuracy of the content. Remember: It is very important that the people who review your Functional Prototype be either subject matter experts (SMEs) or students or users who mirror the skill level of the students or users who will actually take your EdWeb. Example 1: There will be a total of five formative evaluation participants. One SME, who is a teacher in the school where I teach and with whom I often share teaching responsibilities, will review the functional prototype and provide feedback on the accuracy of the content. We both teach science and run the science lab. Additionally, I have arranged for four seventh grade students to take the functional prototype and answer the mastery test questions for objective #1, which is the content of the functional prototype. The mastery test questions will not be online but rather will be a section of the formative evaluation survey I ask each participant to answer. Example 2: The participants in my formative evaluation consist of two SMEs from my department and two people who are on the waiting list to take a face-to-face course that covers the same content as my EdWeb. I will have one SMI who is an art history teacher in the Denver Public Schools district and a fellow student in the INTE program. I will also have three former classmates from my art education courses at CSU and UCD. They are all familiar with both face to face and online courses in Art History. They will all be taking my course and take the quizes and give me feedback. 4. Functional Prototype Formative Evaluation Questions: Your formative evaluation questions need to focus on the questions you have about the content and the navigation of your EdWeb. If you are including SMEs in your formative evaluation, be sure to have a separate set of questions for them. I will definitely use these question for my SMI: 1) Is any of this content inaccurate or confusing? If yes, what are your suggestions for improving the content? 2) The target population for this EdWeb is . . . . Given this population, do you think the examples are appropriate? What about the activities? Suggestions for improvement? You may want to ask questions like this for the students or users, whose demographics are as similar as possible to the students or users who will actually take your EdWeb: EdWeb Analysis and Design Page 66 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
Love these questions I will be using them and I will try to think a couple more? 1. What did you think of the navigation? 1) The navigation was very difficult to understand. My suggestions for improvement are _________________________________. 2) The navigation was okay. I think it would be better if you ______________. 3) The navigation was good but it would be better if you _________________. 4) The navigation was excellent. I have no suggestions for improvement. 2. What did you think of the job aid? 1) The job aid was very difficult to understand. My suggestions for improvement are _________________________________. 2) The job aid was okay. I think it would be better if you ______________. 3) The job aid was good but it would be better if you _________________. 4) The job aid was excellent. I have no suggestions for improvement 3. What did you think of the visuals on the following pages? Did they help you understand the content? Please use the Likert scale below and if you rate an image 1, 2, or 3 please provide suggestions for improvement,. Likert scale 1. Visual was very confusing 2. Visual was somewhat confusing 3. Visual did not help me understand the content 4. Visual helped me understand the content 5. Visual was very helpful. Pages 1) 2) Page 2 (title of page) Page 3 (title of page) Page 67 of 81 INTE 5660, Spring 2011
3) 4)
5. Navigation Justification: Describe three examples of the navigation in your EdWeb Functional Prototype and justify why you are using that type of navigation. Be sure to cite Horton chapter 11 using either paraphrases or exact quotations to justify your navigation. Each paraphrase or quotation needs to include a page number from Horton. I will be relying on moodle's standard navigation and am still playing with its possibilities. But I will be using a menu which "learners pick lessons and topics from a hierarchical list organized by logical categories" (Horton, 2006, pg. 538) This menu will be an expanding menu that will have main topic and when clicked will open up the lessons and activities. I will also be using hyperlinks where learners click highlighted links that will bring them to auxiliary material. (Horton, 2006, pg. 557) I will be creating a timeline map in dipity that displays all the works organized chronologically. (Horton, 2006, pg 553)
6. EdWeb Reflections: Please reflect on your EdWeb by answering the following three questions. 1. How are you feeling about your EdWeb? I am finally feeling better about using Moodle with the help of you all and tutorial online I have it a close as I can get this LMS to meet my needs.. 2. What is the most important thing you have learned about designing and developing elearning instruction? It takes a lot of work! Thoroughly thought out and organization is key. 3. If you could travel back in time to the beginning of this semester, i.e., August 22, 2011, what would you do differently in terms of your EdWeb? I would know my authoring tool ahead of time and know how to use it. I feel like I need a moodle course.
What did you think of the video on the opening page of the course? Did it make it more interesting or fun?
3-Video was confusing and somewhat dumb. Maybe stream line it and make it more of a welcome intro.
4-Video helped me understan d the content and got me excited to learn more
4-I think the video helped to explain why the artists were listed in the order they were as I probably would have put them in timeline form or have started with the "founders" of cubism
4-video grabs people's attention (arguably) faster than anything. smart open.
5-Video was very helpful, fun, super cool a keeper for sure!

3- a calendar is a calendar
Mean [average] for Likert scale questions: 2 Revisions you will make to your EdWeb based on this data. I removed the calendar from my EdWeb. I believe with more time and preparation I could have made the calendar more interesting and fun but it was just a Moodle default that I didn't pay enough attention to this time around.

2. Reading Level Assessment. Conduct a reading level assessment on your Functional Prototype and report the results here. Use the job aid called Readability Statistics in DocSharing. Provide a screen capture of the results table. Passive sentences should be below 10%. Screen shot of reading level assessment results
3. Reflections on the results of your Readability Statistics. Go to the Learner Needs and Characteristics section of your EdWeb Analysis document (section IV>3>g) to see what you said about the reading level of your learners. Did you hit the reading level you identified in in the Learner Characteristics section? Reading ease was at 70.1. Which is according to microsoft word within the standard "For most standard documents, aim for a score of approximately 60 to 70." My reading level was at 7.4. Which is below the required reading level. Microsoft word says "For most standard documents, aim for a score of approximately 7.0 to 8.0." What did you learn from conducting this readability assessment? I learned that this readability statistics report existed. Very interesting and nice to know that my document/EdWeb text falls with in the norm. What revisions, if any, do you plan to make to your EdWeb? Word did catch a grammar error that I plan on changing. But other than that I feel good about it.
4. Categorization of your images. There are two options for this section; pick one. Option 1: Categorize each visual in your Functional Prototype using the Graphics job aid (in DocSharing). Please use a table like the one below. Also, please optimize your screen shots to make them as small, in terms of file size, as possible. You can use thumbnails if you want. No BMPs; they are too big (in file size). Location of this image, i.e., the name of the page in your EdWeb
Decorative
Timeline Page
Representative
Each Artist has a similar page. This is from the Georges Braque Page.
Representative
Below each artist there is the following navigational icons. This one is under Georges Braque.
Navigational
Option 2: Complete the table below to indicate how many of each type of image (from the Graphics job aid, located in DocSharing) you have in your EdWeb. We are not asking, nor do we think it is a good idea, to have images in all categories or even an even distribution. We just think it is informative to know what the distribution is. For examples of each category, see the Graphics job aid in DocSharing. Category name Definition of category Number of images in each category One example (optimized screen shot) of an image from your fp that exemplifies that category.
Decorative
Decorative visuals are often used to motivate or gain the attention of the learner. For online instruction. These visuals enable learners to move around the instruction. Representative visuals provide the same information as the text. Typically, but not always, Representative visuals dual code a small section of text. They make the text more concrete. Simulations and animations are often Representative images. Organizational visuals provide structure, sequence or hierarchy information. Interpretive visuals are typically used to clarify ambiguous or difficult

content. Transformati onal Transformational visuals often are visual mnemonics or analogies. Transformational images help learners understand an abstract concept.
5. Reflections on the distribution of images in your EdWeb. You do not have to have images in each category and you do not have to have an even distribution of images by category. How many images do you have in each category? How do you feel about that distribution? I have about 11 images in the decorative category, the same in navigational category and one in representative category. I feel for never hearing of these categories before hitting 3 out of 6 isn't too bad. What changes, if any, do plan to make to your images? None at this time.
6. Dual Coding examples. Provide three examples of the dual coding in your EdWeb. Please use a table like the one below.
Location of this image, i.e., the URL or name of the page in your EdWeb
A similar dual coding exists on each artist intro. This one is from Georges Braque intro.
This image supports or "dual codes" the text of who is being discussed.
This image replaces and highlights text that explains three of the artists works discussed.
7. ADA Accessibility. There are three parts to this new section. Part 1: Go to https://amp.ssbbartgroup.com/express and test your EdWeb for section 508 compliance. Part 2: Report the results. Part 3: Review the following two websites and in 50 to 100 words describe how you might assess the ADA compliance of your EdWeb. There are three levels of accessibility and typically, developers aim to meet only the level 1 standards. For more information, see the ADA site http://www.ada.gov/adahom1.htm and the W3C site http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG/ The primary reason we want students to investigate ADA criteria is to experience how designing for ADA is a lot of work and needs to have a decent budget. It is not something you can do in an afternoon.
Report the results of the ADA test 508.22 = 96% WCAG2 A = 96% WCAG2 AA = 100% Describe how you might assess the ADA compliance of your EdWeb First violation is that I need to ensure frame titles are meaningful. My frame does not have a title. I will try to fix this. My other violation is I need to provide valid labels for form fields. Not real sure what this is talking about? I don't have any forms that I know of? I will try to find these and fix them also. It is hard to think about a blind person using my site since this type of site is a very visual site.
8. Reflections on ADA. Does the organization for which you are developing your EdWeb require ADA compliance? No If yes, what level?
If yes, what are your plans to insure your EdWeb meets the required compliance level?
What is the most important thing you learned about ADA? That it exists. I had no idea what ADA even meant before this assignment.
9. Peer Review What did you learn from the Peer Review another student conducted on your site? I learned how similar and different their edWeb was from mine. Although using different tools we all seemed to bump into similar issues and similar answers. What revisions did you make (or do you plan to make) to your EdWeb based on the Peer Review?
I changed all spelling and grammar errors. I added contact info. I made the pictures align right allowing text to fall left.
10.
Future plans for your EdWeb After INTE 5670, what are your plans for your EdWeb? What content might you still need to add? I plan on using it in my portfolio. What instructional strategies, such as simulations, animations, or podcasts do you need to add? None that I can think of at this time. When do you plan to implement your EdWeb with real students? Maybe one day when I get a job :)
Evaluation Criteria
Copy and paste the 10 questions, and the text input boxes for each question, at the end of your EdWeb A&D document. CARP is important. Be sure to apply CARP to this new section in your EdWeb A&D document. There are 10 questions. Question #1, about the results of the Formative Evaluation of your Functional Prototype, is worth 100 points. Questions 2 10 are each worth 9 points (for a total of 99 points). Total points for the EdWeb A&D Update #2 is 200. We will deduct one point for each typo, grammatical error and passive voice sentence. The name of the file you submit should follow this format: Firstname Initial of last name_EdWebA&DUpdate2_Date you submit this assignment. For example: TonyW_EdWebA&DUpdate2_Dec2_2011. This assignment is due Monday, November 28th.
If your EdWeb Update #2 does not earn the full 200 points, we will return it to you with comments and suggestions for improvement. You can then revise and resubmit the document if you want to pick up the remaining points. Important: If you resubmit a document, be sure to retain all of our comments and suggestions. Use Track Changes or Comments for all your revisions. This insures we can see the evolution of the document and that we are consistent in our feedback and suggestions.
