DEMETER INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY (ICT) PROJECT


Guidelines for the preparation of an ICT Case Study

You are invited to prepare a Case Study to demonstrate the benefits of using
information and communications technology (ICT) to support teaching and
learning in one of the courses you or a colleague teaches. Your Case Study
should identify:
· the scope of the ICT application
· how you have used it within a course to support your students' learning, and
· the benefits to learning (added value) provided by the use of ICT, if
possible supported by an evaluation study

Set out below are the GUIDELINES which you should follow when preparing your
Case Study.

Two example Case Studies can be viewed at the DEMETER ICT Project Web site
http://www.clues.abdn.ac.uk:8080/demeter/

Once you have submitted your Case Study it will be mounted on our Web site
within a database which will allow you and your European colleagues to
search and identify opportunities for collaboration.  The Workshop
Co-ordinating Committee will select Case Studies to be presented at the June
Workshop in Copenhagen.  However, everyone who has submitted a Case Study is
invited to participate in the Workshop.

Deadline for the submission of a Case Study is 7 March 1998

Format: Submit as a Word 6 or Word 7 document on paper and on disc

GUIDELINES

To assist uniformity in presentation your ICT Case Study should address the
following sections:
A. Title
B. Objective for using ICT in the delivery of the course - max 100 words
C. Academic Subject Area (select one from the list in section 1 overpage)
D. Academic Subject Keyword description  (see section 2 overpage)
E. ICT Keyword description (select one or more from the list in section 3
overpage)
F. Background/Introduction
	identifying the need/problem addressed by the use of ICT
G. Description of the ICT application
H. How the ICT application is embedded in the course/degree
programme/administration
	for example, how is the application introduced to students, how do the
students
	use it, what is the involvement of staff, how is the students' use of the
application assessed
I. Evaluation: the benefit of the ICT application for teaching and learning
	identify whether and how it has enhanced learning
	identify whether and how it has resulted in increased efficiency of resources
J. Web site URL where available
K. Contact information (title, name, address, tel, fax and email)
 1	Academic subject area

Select your own academic keywords to describe the subject addressed by the
ICT application (e.g. for a farm budgeting ICT package the academic keywords
might be budgeting, gross margins, cash flow, profit and loss)

3	ICT Keyword Descriptors

The categories of the application of ICT in teaching and learning and
associated are listed below.  Identify, using the brief keyword descriptors,
the ways in which you use ICT in your course, it is likely that you will
need to use more than one of the keyword descriptors. For further
explanation of the various ways in which CAL can be used in teaching and
learning please see
