I went to this site it was like putting a text book on line. Very little interation and it loads slowly. They have 9 pages that are pdf files that should be short moive clips. I have seen better.
Read the class on teaching history with digital archives. I think the class approaches the idea from a constructivist standpoint, but I think the target audience is far too broad. It is designed fro students from k-12 to college. I see no way to address such a broad target audience. I think it would be tough to present the children of a 1st grade class with material that would interest 25-year-old college students at the same time.
This is a rigid course designed after constructivist theory.
I think the author would benefit from rereading Gagne and Piaget, then narrowing the focus of instruction or to break it down into subsets with a narrower focus.
