 * **Instructional Design Problem ** ||

instruction? || Dr. Lilley is seeking a way to work with his undergraduate students synchronously while he is unavailable through the use of a simplistic online learning module. || scope of the project? || This project is to show Dr. Lilley an easy program that he can use to have online collaborations, post videos, and other materials when he is out of town. ||
 * ==__**Design Problem #3**__== || ==== ||
 * SME || Dr. Tim Lilley, Special Education, tlillie@uakron.edu ||
 * What is the need for this
 * Who is the target audience? || Dr. Lillie is the target audience for this endeavor. A group of 25 9th grade students were used to gather data on the Vyew program. This is a college prep class with a mixture of students and 12 IEP's. ||
 * What is the anticipated size/
 * Are there known delivery constraints? || We are using an online program called Vyew. Upon meeting with Dr. Lillie, Jaycen Rollison discovered this was his preferred site after reviewing a compilation of various sites. The only constraint for the free site is only 10 users at a time. However all material is recorded and easily found. ||
 * Assuming this instructional product is completed before the end of the semester, would members of the target audience be available so that the team could conduct a formative evaluation? || Currently, Dr. Lillie will not be able to implement this program with his students until the upcoming semester. 9th grade students at Nordonia High School will serve as pilots for the program. ||

 * Please question or comment in response to our presentation below. Feel free to add more rows if needed. ||

Wain-Weiss || Vyew looks very useful || Will Dr. Lilley be expanding this program to college level students too or his graduate students who might be working with undergraduates? || The understanding was using this with all of his classes as a means to communicate while he is on the road. ||
 * Your Name: || Comment: || Question: || Team's Response: ||
 * Nino Deiulis || I've never heard of coursesites. It looks very comprehensive. I noticed that in the "using course sites and tools" page you have a set of learning goals stated, but you have the statement of the learning goal listed as "N/A" in your initial status report. || Why is there not a learning goal in the initial status report? || Nino we had to change the scope and program to Vyew because coursites was too much for Dr. Lilley. ||
 * Brian Jackson || I have never heard of coursesites either. It looks like a great tool. || When the course is over, how long is the content still available to the students? Do the students continue to have access to content even after the class is over? || With changing the program to Vyew, the material is recorded and always available. It is a lot like blackboard. ||
 * Esther
 * Alexander Garey || After looking through the site and really looking in the Vyew software it seems to be something that is very easy to use and would be beneficial in Dr. Lillie's classes. || Has Dr. Lille already started implementing this new technology into his classroom and into his lessons? It would be interesting to hear his students responses on how he uses the program. || No Dr. Lillie will not be implementing until next semester. The program was tested in Matt Cash's 9th grade World History class. He could not use this semester because of the semester being halfway over. ||
 * Jay Schneiderman || I have never heard of Vyew, but it looks interesting. The tutorial gave a nice and short description of what it can do. I even went to the Vyew website to check it out. || This program seems to be very useful. It appears to be easy to use and I like that it is free! Are there any age restrictions to making an account? How does Vyew and/or their subscribers control what is put on their program? In other words, can a teacher prevent a student from putting an inappropriate image or video on there? I know some programs where the teacher is able to see what their students are uploading before it is visible to the students. Is that possible with Vyew? || While the basic version of Vyew is offered as a free resource, we found that there is a limit of 10 users able to access a "room" at a time. Users have the option to pay a subscription cost for more benefits. We did not feel that the subscription cost was unreasonable. Blackboard Collaborate costs $166/year per room. A Vyew upgrade is as low as $6.95 per month (prepay). ||
 * Rebecca Baxter || Your wiki is set up very nicely for easy understanding. || I was wondering why you choose Vyew instead of going with Google Apps? It is already used by Akron, why not explore that area? || That is a great option to consider! With the limited scope of time to restart the project, we explored Vyew because it mimicked Blackboard Collaborate, which Dr. Lillie had some previous experience with. That would have been another great tool to explore. ||
 * Janel Koellner || Thanks for the introduction to Vyew-I will definitely will be exploring it more! || This is a specific question regarding the video capture of the high school students' viewpoints on the Vyew experience. Did you have to get permission from their parents prior to posting, or did your school's standard media release policy cover this? I am always so hesitant to include photos/videos of learners (even though I work with adults!) ||  ||
 * DR. WARD || I am not understanding the high school video...what are the students doing? Says they are responding, but I am not sure how. This was not explained well. ||  ||   ||
 * Katie White || Vyew sounds like a great platform to use! I like the many features it offers to the users, as well as the teacher. I have had trouble myself with CourseSites in the past and find that for a beginning online teacher, it can get overwhelming. || Does Vyew allow a teacher to see which students have and have not logged in and worked on the materials? How will you meet the accomodations of the IEP students by using Vyew? ||  ||
 * Becky Reiter || Due to your reference to CourseSites, I have begun to develop a pilot online learning module for my classes. Good work! || Based on you work with CourseSites and Vyew, which do you recommentd. I have been quite challenged by CourseSites, but I do like what is offers. I appreciate the feedback as I will need to make a decision before next fall. ||  ||
