Professional Development to High Schools in CA

Guide for:Guide for:

Planning, design and implementation of any effective distance education environment should be

driven by clearly defined instructional needs and objectives, rather than by technology.

Build into facilities planning the potential for network growth, cost-effective expansion of services

and technology upgrades. This is best achieved by sticking to technology solutions that are

standards compliant that can easily be upgraded via software.

Steps for effective Course TransitionsSteps for effective Course Transitions

Step #1- discuss special requirements, view class Step #2- review graphics and curriculumStep #3- review display graphics (color, size and format). Can H.239 (People & Content) be used?Step #4- conduct teacher training, the time required varies, let the teacher practice, use Faculty Training Checklist (we can supply this checklist upon request)

Steps Steps continuedcontinued

Step #5- ensure all locations have classroom materials, text

books, information and instructions

For some classes conduct a practice teaching session

Graphic ConsiderationsGraphic ConsiderationsPrint in landscape format

LARGE font size for text (center of page)

Use paper hardcopy, not plastic transparencies (flat

blue color works well)

No more than 30 characters per line

No more than 10 lines per page

Check your graphics before class

High Contrast of text
