Learning Team Goals

The members of our team will build an online resource using Moodle as a main
platform for introducing Internet and Web 2.0 to university students and teachers.
Students will learn how to use moodle by building meaningful social learning
activities that can be implemented on Campus. To build those meaningful learning
activities participants will use WEB 2.0 tools. The building team (Team P: Internet
and Web 2.0 in Spanish) will create the essential conditions to facilitate the use of
Web 2.0 for future students and develop critical thinking about the use of
technologies as communicational and socializing tool, everything from a cultural
perspective.

Learning for the members of the team will be at least at three levels:
- Web 2.0 basics at the individual level (everyone learning what he needs to be up
to the tasks of M4T
- Moodle Basics at the group P level (developing Internet and web 2.0 in Spanish)
- Inter relations at the culture-technology interface at the M4T Workshop level.
(interacting among themselves and with other participantes at M4T-3)
At the practical level the members of the Team will:
Collaborate, finish work to receive a certificate, create professional friendships,
learn by using Web2.0 tools, to be world class teachers.
Assignment goals: Delivered ontime
Quality Level: Unique and creative
Ground Rules
Meeting time: Comunicate with skype contact and text with sandbox tool..

Instructional Design Process

Mauricio will be responsible to the application of the Instructional Design process

taking as a departure point Student needs and situation. The ADDIE Model will be
used as a guideline during the entire process: Student Analysis, Design,
Development, Implementation and Evaluation Phase.

The first step will be to identify the main ideas that will be part of the content.
Contents will be divided in units or chapters. Each unit will be a standalone
learning object composed by a short introduction, Learning objectives, Learning
activities, Interactivity, assessment and supplemental materials. We are going to
proceed with the elaboration of a prototype that will be used as the model.

Developing Units and Chapters

The work will be distributed among the members of the Team

Interacting with other initiatives related to Technology Enhanced Learning in

Spanish

Luis will link the course to the Conectividad Latinoamericana system (Wiki, Drupal
and Moodle Platforms)

Conflict management

Can envision conflicts because of:

1.- Different levels of experience with internet tools
2.- Different levels of commitment to the projects
3.- Different views of the project
4.- Will use in conference spanish talk.
Be open, professional and honest.
