DIFFERENCES IN HOW STUDENTS LEARN Information We Need by Rudolf
1. Must know what the policy of the institution is regarding access issues and how that can affect SS who dont have have accesss to the selected technology.
2. Must consider the Demographics pertaining to the SS that I am going to teach in order to ascertain the appropriateness of the technology to be used.
3. When some tasks are to be done off-campus, determine if SS will have a regular and reliable access to that technology.
4. When some tasks are to be done on campus, what should the institutaions policies be that regulare the SS access to devices in class?
5. What are my expectations about the assumed skills that my SS are to have at the start of the program?
6. If I am going to make it mandatory for my SS to pay for their own access to technology, will the teaching approach justify such expenses?
7. What are the previous experiences and attitudes that my SS will probably bring to the program. How likely are those pre notions to be useful and suitable?
