MAC Blog Post 3: Project

My project proposal is going to include my Udutu course created in the LMO class. This project is an e-course to provide background on the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. This is an example of an e-course that can be used by at-risk groups to provide necessary background information for a history class to enhance classroom learning. It can also be used as a stand-alone e-course based on the needs of the target audience.

My thesis is about e-l earning and at –risk students. I have defined at-risk students broadly to include students having difficulties in traditional K-12 school settings; non-traditional students (such as working students with family obligations, and those that are incarcerated.); K-12 students with exceptionalities (both special education and gifted); English as a second language learners, and digital natives.  This is a very broad group that includes most students in public schools in the United States today. This research should benefit teachers and students in many classrooms. I will specify the issues that e-learning can address for each of these groups of students, and tools that can be used to create an e-learning support system to promote successful school engagement, completion, and life long learning by these groups.
