November 2009 New Technologies for Online Teaching and Learning
Online movie reviews: Carefully screen online movies for appropriate content. See http://www.imdb.com/features/video/browse/film/ for movies that can be freely viewed. Give out a Word study guide to focus student attention and lead a discussion on the important topics.
Video Blogs: The sites will offer the students with a variety of video blogs that they can refer to while they are researching a particular destination. The videos offer tips and opinions from the host as well as from other travelers – so the information is not biased. The students can also obtain guidance on how a video blog is organized if they chose to present their final project in this format.

Concept Mapping
Here's some websites containing information regarding concept mapping. They should be helpful in facilitating student understanding of the process and completion of the assignment.

Video Streamed Lectures
The school of Public Health at the University of Albany offers free continuing education courses, ttp://www.albany.edu/sph/coned/webstream.htm. I found a lecture on geriatric mental health that I would use to supplement a course on mental geriatric depression and other mental illnesses in the older adult. The University of North Carolina offers lectures on the web 24 hours following the live class and remains online for up to three weeks. This is great reinforcement for the students, and students who missed the live class can keep up with the rest of the class, this is only open to students attending the school.
I would use video streamed lectures or presentation to supplement learning or replace a class, as long as the video met the objectives of the class to be covered.
Student Produced Videos for the class
The following are examples of such an activity:

Interactive News and Documentaries
You won’t find this information in books. National organizations such as HIMSS puts out news and position papers frequently. They are not politically oriented, but do support the role of technology and there are also easy links to multiple news sites available that continually put out information on healthcare technology.

Design Generation
Instead of critiquing preexisting designs within a field of study, learners create their own designs.
Example: Kitchen online design sites

Virtual Field Trip
Have students take a virtual trip to a site when they may be employed.
Sample tour of a nursing home Marian Manor Nursing Home
Online Multimedia and Visually Rich Cases
The use of multimedia could assist in decreasing the monotony of the black and white lettering and free computer screen space. Use of multimedia can add individual expressions to enhance a subject matter and also amplifies learning for the visual and auditory learner. Although, I personally is not a fan of all the potential and actual technological theatrics of the learning environment ---but I am here to educate / facilitate and will heed to the known fact that students learn differently and at different rate---therefore it would / could be necessary to supplement my traditional style of lecture with on-line multimedia materials and/or visually rich resources to enhance learning.
Here is a lecture on the Gastrointestinal System with visuals

Please click on the 3-D animation of the Gastrointestinal System---Here you will see what happens to a piece of food from the mouth to the anus.
Broadcast Events
Sites like http://www.edheads.org/activities/knee/ can be used to show student procedures as they are being performed.
Concept Mapping
Concept maps should be helpful in facilitating student understanding of the process and completion of the assignment.
