=The //Digital Literacy Course// wiki=

The purpose of this wiki is to plan and design a Digital Literacy course for Florida Virtual School.

Phase 1 The first phase identifies and describes the organization that will serve as the context for this project (Florida Virtual School). I discuss the needs of the organization that can best be served by expanding distance education, and I outline the ways that the values, ideals, and mission of the organization are expressed through distance education. I briefly outline the current status of distance education in this organization (what is now being offered or planned, how long the organization has been active in distance education, etc.). I also touch on the benefits of iNACOL (International Association for K-12 Online Learning).

Phase 2 In this phase, I give an overview of the objectives for my Digital Literacy course. I brainstorm the types of technology that could contribute to my design and my reasons for considering them. I also write an outline for this web-based course, including my plans for learner participation. I also elaborate on the role of the instructor in my design plan.

Phase 3 In phase three, I bring up course concerns and discuss ways that my course design could increase the success of the learners. I describe the implications of learner characteristics for my plan and the types of support my learners might need to succeed in this course. I also outline a process for checking the quality of the lessons, and discuss how dialogue and structure will be handled in the design.
