When we talk about learning with media, most of people immediately think
of the use of computers and the Internet. One often forgets that
paper-based materials such as books, posters, and brochures are also
considered as media for learning. This course is designed to introduce
the underlying concepts and the use of different types of media (e.g.,
non-projected media, projected visuals, audio, video, computer, and the
Internet) to English language learners, so that they will access these
materials to help their learning in general as well as learning of
English language. We will also learn to design language teaching
materials by Viewlet Builder and HyperCam. Students may apply the use of
these media into teaching or presentations in their present/future
workplaces.
Objectives
This course enables students to:
(1) identify and learn about a wide variety of uses of technology in
education and English language learning
(2) experience learning of English language through the use of different
types of media
(3) access the Internet and search for useful online English learning
resources
(4) read about successful stories on English language learning via
telecommunications
(5) develop your own English language learning sources using
ViewletBuilder and/or HyperCam
(6) use other technologies to evaluate learning through media

Attendance and Punctuality
Please come to class each time and on time. This is respect to yourself
and your classmates. Each unexcused absence will result a 3% deduction
from the final grade. If you are or will be absent for medical or
personal reasons, please inform me in advance and show evidence (e.g.
medical excuse notes). According to the university regulation, more than
two unexcused absences or six excused absences result a failed grade for
the course. I will provide a sign-in sheet for you to sign your name.
Please do not sign for other people. I will be checking the
handwritings.
Plagiarism
Plagiarism is forbidden. You must obey the principles of academic
integrity. Please respect other people¡¦s work. If you quote or refer to
certain people¡¦s work, remember to give credit to the author(s). A
plagiarized product will result in a 0% of your assignment.
Collaboration
At different times in this class, you will work in small groups and
complete collaborative learning or assignments. Please make sure that
you contribute and complete your share of work in the group. By doing
so, you will enhance your abilities in language as well as cooperative
work.
Classroom Uses
This class will take place in a computer room. Therefore, I would like
you to use the online environment for some activities. In the last few
weeks of the course, I will design activities called Media Workstation
that requires you to complete group work in classrooms other than the
computer room. I will announce the location as time comes.
