2. Top Three Trends in Instructional Design Use of Web 2.0 Technologies Open-source Learning Cloud Computing Christian Fernandes UCSP 615 Section 9055 Orientation to Graduate Studies

3. Web 2.0 Technologies ▪ What are Web 2.0 technologies – A generic term for dynamic web- sites that allow students and educations to interact and communicate – Blogs – Wikis – Social Networking Websites (Facebook, Myspace, etc.) – Video Sharing Sites

4. Web 2.0 Technologies ▪ “The exploration and application of Web 2.0 tools removes the barriers typically associated with online classes.” (Tunks, 2012, p.3) ▪ These technologies are especially useful in Distance Education (DE) courses or blended face-to-face/DE courses – Enhances communication and collaboration – Allows asynchronous and synchronous communication – Can be used as a dynamic method for expressing information

5. Web 2.0 Technologies ▪ How to prepare for the trend – The UMUC OMDE curriculum includes several classes that require the development and use of web 2.0 – Personal development of blog and video training – Development Courses ▪ Adobe Captivate ▪ Video Editing

6. Open-source Learning ▪ Uses the internet to produce open dynamic and interactive educational content through sites like OpenStax, Coursera, and Lumin ▪ Building a source of cooperative learning – learners, educators, and subject experts can develop training materials together ▪ Imagine a giant, internet based, collaborative textbook/courseware that is constantly being updated and improved.

7. Open-source Learning (Baraniuk, 2006)

8. Open-source Learning ▪ How can I prepare – Participate in online a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) – Developing an open training resource for Boy Scouts (Campfires, Songs, and Skits) – Explore open sources as references during graduate study

9. Cloud Computing ▪ Uses server space so students can access file on the go ▪ Provides web-based programs available at any computer ▪ Works in conjunction with mobile technology – Smart Phones – Tablets – Hybrids

10. Cloud Computing ▪ Collaboration Tool – Users can access shared content – Multiple user can edit content at the same time – Standardizes technology ▪ Teaching aide – Repository for larger files (video/high resolution pictures) – Keeps content current – Backs-up course material

11. Cloud Computing ▪ Preparing for the trend – Using the cloud for my personal projects – Integrating cloud resources into the learning environment (like Google Docs and Sheets) – Staying up-to-date with the latest mobile technology

12. Top Three Trends in Instructional Design ▪ Use of Web 2.0 Technologies – Blogs, wikis, social media, video sharing – Improves communication ▪ Open-source Learning – Open courses and content – Communal – content developed ▪ Educators ▪ Experts ▪ Learners ▪ Cloud Computing – Improved accessibility (thru mobile platforms) – Collaborative tool – Teaching Aide
