Interactive Freshman Composition: Using Toolbook To Write It Right.
Hart, Mary; And Others
A multimedia pilot program at Laramie County Community College, Wyoming, used a series of instructional modules with testing units to allow freshman composition students to review their own particular areas of weakness, to test themselves, and to move on at their own pace. The program used the technologies available in the school's state-of-the-art multimedia center and classrooms. Four areas became the foci of the multimedia project--grammar/mechanical abilities, composition skills, computer literacy, and research skills. All students who have thus far interacted with any of the modules have had nothing but positive responses to the multimedia aspects. Students, at their own initiative, keep coming back and playing with the modules just to see how their scores have improved. The modules are appropriate for both in-house and distance learning environments. (An accompanying booklet provides background on the Laramie County Community College, a flow chart for each of the 4 modules, 4 sample computer screens from the modules, a sample print-out of test results, and 2 additional sample computer screens.)
