2 Day 2 Reflection Q&A Project discussion later today PmWiki Alternative: www.wikispaces.com CitiWiki Workshop 2007 2

3 3 Day 3 Agenda Styling web page using CSS Wiki teaching framework End product

4 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 4 Day 3 Goals Learn to use CSS to style web page Format, layout Learn web and Wiki teaching framework Getting started with end product Use CitiWiki to prototype your project CitiWiki Workshop 2007 4

5 5 CSS Styling Style rules in CSS Selector {declaration} Example: p {color: blue; background-color: white; } XHTML file is a tree structure (tags are strictly enclosing), root is html Selector consists a path to select specific elements in HTML page

10 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 10 CSS Exercise Using heading, p, div, list tags Embedding and linking methods CSS layout: CSSEasy.com

11 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 11 Use Web Page Software FrontPage DreamWeaver Check out W3C Standards Specification

12 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 12 Web and Wiki Teaching Framework Course web page (static) Wiki (dynamic and active learning) Student assignments, projects, resources, students Blog, feedback, discussion, collaboration Day 3 Assignment: how you will build one

13 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 13 Course Management Course activities embodies the learning process Assignments Projects Discussion, research Give students guidance Teach students good methodology, discipline and strategy Give teacher feedback and assessment instruments Team, group and class-wide collaborative learning

14 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 14 Participants and Interactions Type IV Type V Type IType II Type III Instructor Individual Student Whole Class

15 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 15 Current Practice Ad-hoc and vary widely by class and instructor “Free hand”, students on their own, use project handout as bible Milestones: specify intermediate project milestones as checkpoints Regular meetings: limited by instructor and student time commitment, generally not scalable Tools and artifact No tools, students keep their TODO lists Instructor does not have accurate info on students progress

16 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 16 What Are Missing The participants and interaction model Type IType II Type III Instructor Individual Student Whole Class Type IV Type V Only limited Type IV student-self management Non-real time Type I instructor- student interaction minimal interactive group learning Lack of tool support Lack of formal archivable artifact

17 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 17 Wiki as Solution A Wiki-based light-weight, simple, flexible, yet powerful course management framework Enable all interactions Support and Capture activities by participant Easy to use and low overhead Allow collective group learning

18 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 18 Why Wiki Web-based content management and sharing Web server runs Wiki engine Web browser as interface for content access and authoring Simple Markup to create Wiki pages Open, low overhead, flexible online sharing and collaboration

19 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 19 The Wiki Framework Use Wiki for course management Build a shared Wiki site Both instructor and students create and access pages Instructor create Wiki page to supplement course materials, post general announcements, guide students, give general help Students create Wiki page for homework and project planning and implementation: Wiki log is part of the project Group or class common pages for collective learning Course activities captured and shared through Wiki pages

20 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 20 Multi-dimensional Interaction Through Wiki Type IV Type V Type IType II Type III Instructor Individual Student Whole Class W W W W

21 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 21 Wiki Structure Class announcements: section created by instructor, class-wide project announcements and info Common corner: both instructor and students can create and modify pages, serves as shared knowledge MyWiki: student project wiki, organized by students name, the centerpiece of teaching Wiki Wiki Help: Wiki online documentation for handy reference

22 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 22 User Access Control Fine-grained user access control Users use login name/password to use Wiki Instructor as super user, set site structure, create read-only pages, write student pages Students have sole write control of their own pages, but others can view Common pages shared by all

23 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 23 Activities Enabled MyWiki: focal point of student project Required and graded for project Wiki page reports detailed info on all phases of project: planning and execution “Harry Portter” as virtual student template TODO Class blog Immediate results Questions and Issues to resolve

24 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 24 Activities Enabled MyWiki page as self-guide and introduce discipline in learning process Capture real-time snap shot of whole class Precise assessment, targeted feedback and support Peer learning and group learning: Wiki pages are open and shared

25 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 25 Teaching Practice Use Wiki in a compiler class PmWiki Set up during one afternoon Four project sequence to build a simple compiler for an embedded robot controller Require students to use Wiki extensively in their implementation: write Wiki notes on daily basis

26 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 26 Wiki Setup Each student get assigned account and own MyWiki section Use “Harry Portter” as sample page to illustrate requirements Use Project blog to gather info on class status and identify problems

27 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 27 Collective Learning Common corners to share know-hows and project tips Survey how error handling can be done with the given compiler tools

28 CitiWiki Workshop 2007 28 A Look at the Generic Framework

If yes, is this an effective approach to teaching this content? Will it add to the student learning experience? Is this assignment/task at a skill-appropriate level for students? What's involved in the development of the web enhancement? (time, hardware/software, training) And many others…
