MAC Blog Post #1: Week 4 - Media Project



My Project

My project is a udutu course on the Civil Rights Movement. It is an example of an e-Learning course to support my thesis proposal that technology such as e-Learning courses can be used to aid at-risk learners in completing their educations. E-Learning courses can be tailored to meet the needs of individual learners. E-Learning can be used to solve scheduling and time management problems for teen parents in high school. E-Learning can make higher education accessible to more people by removing scheduling barriers and leading many people into life long learning. One day it may be possible to earn a certification and even a degree by watching cable television. Media content providers such as Barnes & Nobel, Amazon.com, History Channel, Discovery Education, etc. may join forces with teachers using Udutu or other course authoring tools to make courses based on the media content these companies distrubute available to the public.
