AIL 606

Software Technology. Three hours. Intended for students who have had some prior programming experience; otherwise, students will need to develop competencies prior to taking this course. Issues include matching the capabilities of the medium to the intellectual structure of the subject, who directs the interaction between human and computer; the size of the intellectual field; and pedagogical concerns in choosing the operations of a software environment. Students are expected to design and complete a project at the end of the course.

For this class, I created a number of courses in WebCT for the University of Alabama College of Continuing Studies, which unfortunately can only be accessed if you are registered as as student.

I have included an example of a Hot Potato Quiz as a sample of a software program that can be used in a learning environment. You will need to permit Active X controls in order to view this quiz.
