CALT Teaching Templates

Type A  Question and Answer

Type B  Drag and Drop 

Type C  ImageQuiz

 

CALT Teaching Templates are pre-programmed software modules that reduce the number of steps required for faculty (Faculty only need to provide information in Word documents.) to produce interactive teaching materials for distribution on floppy disk, CD-ROM or the Web.  Student activity while using these templates can be stored in an Active Server Pages text file or in an Access database for later analysis by students for self-assessment or by faculty for course improvement or student counseling. 

The links below will take you to working examples of these Teaching Templates.

Type A.  Question and Answer  (Free Flash 5 player required)

Steps for Faculty

1.Use Microsoft Word to create a numbered list of questions.  Leave a line space between each question. At the present time the module can handle up to 99 questions but that could be extended if there is interest.  In the same document create a list of answers that are numbered to correspond to the questions.  Leave a space between each answer.  Do not interleave questions and answers.  The question list should be separate from the answers list.  

Also indicate the text you want placed on the opening screen and the Q and A screen ( Course title, subject, topic, etc).

2.  Double check your document for spelling, punctuation, typos, and clarity.

3.  Save to a floppy disk that has your name, date, office location, phone number, and filename on the label.

4.  Send the floppy disk to Bruce Bird in Schwartz 104B.

5.  I will return the floppy to you with an HTML file and a Flash file.

6.  Use FrontPage to import the two files into your web site.

7. Provide a hyperlink to the HTML page.

8.  If you or your students do not yet have the free Flash 5 player, then download it from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

9.  View your Questions and Answers.

10.  Contact me (x2262)  if you want to distribute your Q and A on floppy disk or CD-ROM.

Note:  

I can not respond to rush requests.  I will try to provide a two week turn around time but I do not guarantee it.

I will be happy to discuss with faculty the development of other possible interactive teaching templates that they think will help students. Contact Bruce Bird at x2262.

Type B.  Drag and Drop - Sequence Items  (Free Flash 5 player required.)

Steps for Faculty

1.  Use Microsoft Word to create a numbered list of paired items. Separate the paired items with a comma.   At the present time the template is set up for 5 paired items per page but that could be extended to 10 paired items per page if desired. There is essentially no limit on the number of pages that could be included in the Flash movie. Also indicate the text you want placed on the screen for explanation.

2.  Double check your document for spelling, punctuation, typos, and clarity.

3.  Save to a floppy disk that has your name, date, office location, phone number, and filename on the label.

4.  Send the floppy disk to Bruce Bird in Schwartz 104B.

5.  I will return the floppy to you with an HTML file and a Flash file.

6.  Use FrontPage to import the two files into your web site.

7. Provide a hyperlink to the HTML page.  Add any comments or hyperlinks to the html page.

8.  If you or your students do not yet have the free Flash player, then download it from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

9.  View your Drag and Drop Exercise..

10.  Contact me (x2262)  if you want to distribute your Drag and Drop Exercise on floppy disk or CD-ROM.

Type C.  ImageQuiz    (Free Flash 5 player required.)  The example shown is for a map, but any image (graphics, words, equations, pictures, paintings, sheet music,  etc.) can be used. ( Note:  The examples listed below are template variations of a basic ActionScript program that I have written. Most of these examples provide two questions as a demonstration of the capability of ImageQuiz but any number of questions can be included that are accessed by question number, Next button, or Random button. Also the grading matrix can easily be modified to meet your requirements.  Please contact Bruce Bird, x2262, if you wish to discuss a template design that would better fit your students needs.)

a.  Math Example Using ImageQuiz

b.  English Grammar Example  Using ImageQuiz

c.  English Grammer Example with Grading Matrix  Using ImageQuiz

d. English Grammar Example with Grading Matrix and Data Storage Using ImageQuiz

e.  Basic Physics Example with Grading Matrix  Using ImageQuiz

Steps for Faculty

1.  Make a photocopy of the image.  Place numbered dots on the photocopy where you want questions asked.  Create corresponding numbered lists of questions, comments, hints, and answers in a Word document. 

2.  Double check your Word document for spelling, punctuation, typos, and clarity.

3.  Save to a floppy disk that has your name, date, office location, phone number, and filename on the label.  

4.  Send the floppy disk to Bruce Bird in Schwartz 104B.

5.  I will return the floppy to you, or to an instructional designer, with an HTML file and a Flash file.

6.  Use FrontPage to import the two files into your web site.

7. Provide a hyperlink to the HTML page.  Add any comments or hyperlinks to the HTML page.

8.  If you or your students do not yet have the free Flash player, then download it from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash

9.  View your ImageQuiz.
