1st Semester
For each class meeting, Juzwiak writes an overview of the day's lesson plan and an assessment of the technology component in the lesson. Ezell and Morales attend each class and write their evaluations of the lesson and the use of technology. Twice a week, Ezell and Morales meet in the computer lab with their student researchers (Janoubi/Penada and Alvarado/Albatal, respectively) to observe the students using the class website. These interviews are captured using a digital voice recorder, and summary notes may be written by the faculty researcher. Finally, the faculty participants meet once a week to discuss their research findings. The weekly meetings are captured on video and delivered in streaming video format.

The research may incorporate several mini-projects, such as interviews with the whole class, interviews with past English 189 students currently enrolled in higher level English classes, a faculty-student pairing to observe a student working with a specially designed PowerPoint self-tutorial on using articles.

During the summer intercession, the faculty team will revise and augment the course materials on the 189 website. They will develop additional learning activities that are carefully sequenced, student-centered, and built on self-reflective pedagogy. A list of tasks includes: updating and completing quiz sequences; adding feedback to all quizzes; generating practice quizzes for the Wordbank; writing a hyperlinked syllabus and a complete online rubric with sample, hyperlinked essays; devising drag and drop exercises; creating interactive exercises on topic sentences, coherence, and development; adding audio files; completing the My Grammar Challenges and the Master Students features. As part of this work, Ezell and Morales will become skilled users of PowerPoint and FrontPage.

                                  

Ezell and Morales will teach sections of English 189, incorporating as much as the new technology as possible. Team leader Juzwiak will coach and assist them in their implementation of the electronic pedagogy. He will meet with the instructors before each class session to provide sustained instruction and support in the basic use of PowerPoint and WebCT. In addition, he will conduct recorded exit interviews with students from both classes. Finally, all three faculty participants will write notes for each class session, and their weekly faculty meeting will be videotaped.

3rd Semester 
Ezell and Morales will teach new sections of English 189, refining their use of the electronic pedagogy and advancing their technological skills. Once again, Juzwiak will be a full-time participant, providing feedback and evaluation. He will be paired with two students from each class, meeting with them in the computer lab to observe their work on the class website. Before each class session, Juzwiak will provide training to Ezell and Morales in the advanced programming of PowerPoint, FrontPage, and WebCT. All research will be captured in the four formats used during previous semesters.
