Visual report

Post a visual support (develop on your own or find an existing support on the web) that might help a high school student with these challenges (you can choose behavior or communication challenges) to participate in an IEP meeting. Think critically to discuss how it will be used, how it is socially appropriate, and which IEP steps it would support them through.

Identify the higher education department you will study to complete the SLP assignments.

Higher Education Administration EDUCATION ADMINISTRATION

The Session Long Project (SLP) for this course will require the completion of a case study of a higher education department. Each SLP assignment will require the completion of a step in the process:

1: Identify and describe the department.

2: Conduct a brief organizational study to identify a current organizational problem.

3: Propose a related theory or conceptual framework to address the problem.

4: Apply the related theory or conceptual framework to the problem.

5: Project presentation

It is recommended that you carefully review the SLP assignment prompts before completing the SLP 1 assignment. This will allow you to plan ahead and select an appropriate department.

Identify the higher education department you will study to complete the SLP assignments. Briefly discuss the context of the department by addressing the following:

Evaluate how you might help your learners overcome this obstacle. What teaching strategies can you research to develop technology competences for your learners?

DB Post
Many of our learners come to use with a variety of skill levels with technology. You will be working with various ages, ability levels, learning styles, special needs, diversity, and ELLs.

Start thinking about how you will develop technology skills and competencies in all your learners regardless of their skill level.

As an emerging distance education leader, one must be aware of the potential obstacle that may occur.

Barriers and challenges can develop at any time and can affect the success of the distance-learning program.

In a study conducted by Santilli and Beck (2005), graduate faculty were surveyed and asked to pinpoint specific obstacles to effective communication in distance learning courses. The surveyed data by Santilli and Beck (2005) revealed what the educators thought to be student deficiencies in an online delivery format:

65% of faculty consider students’ lack of technology skills to be a major obstacle to effective online communication. The second major finding is that 23% of faculty consider timeliness of student responses to be a problem.

However, 15% of faculty indicated they had encountered no barriers to effective communication with students

Faculty must be trained in effective communication strategies so that student interactions within online structures remain fluid and unhampered.

Based on the research stated above, evaluate how you might overcome your obstacles with technology?
