Faculty Technology Skills
This material can be taught without the use of any instructional technology,
but the module as developed requires familiarity with the dictionary and thesaurus
functions of standard full-featured word processing programs (especially Microsoft Word)
and dictionaries and thesauruses available over the Internet.
Student Technology Skills
The students will require basic skills in the technology levels used by the instructor,
which, as stated above, can range from none to familiarity with using word processing
dictionaries and thesauruses to the use of such materials on the Internet.
Faculty Equipment
At the lowest level, equipment would consist of a good collegiate dictionary and a good
thesaurus. At the next level, a computer and printer on which a standard word processing
program is installed and running is required. At the high level, connection to the Internet
is required; a high-speed connection would not be necessary, as text would be the primary
material being downloaded.
Student Equipment
Same as faculty equipment.
Cost
No additional cost except at the high end, if an Internet connection is not considered standard.
For a dial-up connection, the following is required: a modem for about $30 plus installation, an
Internet Service Provider Account for about $22/month, and a phone line (if not shared with the
instructor's office phone, which is not recommended) for which cost will vary.
