The School Study Council of Ohio
has been offering inservice training and technical assistance for
more than 30 years and has been developing online services since
1993.
Looking for well organized, accredited courses that offer
specialized training and professional development opportunities? The
School Study Council has launched SSCOnline, a new virtual campus
that offers small, highly interactive classes customized by each
instructor. Students have the option of taking the courses for
graduate credit, or for Ohio Continuing Education Units.
Additionally, students may audit any class for a minimal fee, and
have until the third week of class to decide if they wish to switch
to one of the credit options offered.
Of specific interest to Sigtel-l members: Internet for Educators:
Introduction to Networked Learning (IN520) introduces teachers,
administrators, curriculum supervisors, librarians, and others to
the Internet and challenges them to design and develop networked
learning activities, lesson plans, and projects. The Internet is a
new and rapidly evolving communications medium that is generating
excitement in the education community for its potential role in
opening up new learning opportunities for both students and
professionals. Students in the class will become familiar with the
functional capabilities of the Internet, including email, telnet,
gopher, ftp, listservs, world wide web, chat, and news groups. They
will learn to identify and describe the types of online activities
and projects that have been implemented in educational settings, and
will be able to discuss the educational benefits and problems/issues
associated with networked learning activities. Students will be able
to construct a network learning activity based upon information from
research and practice, and optionally, will implement the activity
or project they design in class in
