TAME Melaleuca

http://tame.ifas.ufl.edu/

thumb project 1The Areawide Management Evaluation of Melaleuca quinquenervia (TAME Melaleuca) was recently established as a collaborative multi-agency project under the USDA Agricultural Research Service's Area-wide Pest Management Initiative. This site is a resource intended to educate land managers, encourage adoption of control methods and disseminate information on the dangers of this invasive species.

Teaching with Technology

http://grove.ufl.edu/~cittdev/Lord/

thumb project 2This project has been commissioned by PGL and Foreign Languages at the University of Florida. The task is to design and develop four learning modules that will help teaching assistants understand the importance and value of technology in the classroom. The four modules cover the following topics: Technology and Task Design, Evaluating Activites, Synchronous Computer-mediated Communication, and Asynchronous Computer-mediated Communication.

These modules are being developed using PHP technology, allowing the user to enter information that can later be viewed in the course of the module and printed for assessment. User participation is encouraged, thereby enhancing the interactivity of the modules.

2005 Faculty Development Grant Winner: Educational Video Game for Children with Phenylketonuria (PKU)

http://citt.ufl.edu/team/PKU/

thumb project 3Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a common genetic condition that results in the inability to metabolize phenylalanine (an amino acid which is a component of protein.) The main goal of this project is to produce an educational CD that uses interactive play to teach children about their metabolic condition, its effects and management and that also allows parents (and other caretakers) to learn more about nutritional and medical management.

2005 Faculty Development Grant Winner: EME 2040 - Introduction to Educational Technology Online Component

http://citt.ufl.edu/team/EME2040/

thumb project 4The main goal of this project is to put the lecture component of EME 2040 completely online. EME 2040, or Introduction to Educational Technology, is a course that was designed to meet the needs of future professionals, applying technology within educational settings. CITT will work with the PI on this project to develop resources in Flash and RomoDemo that enhance the experience of online students.

Interactive Greenhouse Simulator

http://citt.ufl.edu/team/greenhouse/simulator/greenhouse.htm

thumb project 5The Multimedia Instrument for Worldwide Greenhouse Education is a multi-state grant project that involves the University of Florida, the University of Vermont, the University of Arizona and Ohio State University. This portion of the grant was used to develop an interface for the Interactive Greenhouse Simulator. CITT designed the front-end with clear coding parameters so that the backend (to be developed by another team across the country) can be integrated seamlessly. (If you have trouble viewing the simulator, you may need to download the Flash plugin.) For additional information, visit the Team Exchange Page.

Multimedia Greenhouse DVD

http://www.citt.ufl.edu/Marcela/greenhouse/html/by_location/arizona.htm

thumb project 6The Multimedia Instrument for Worldwide Greenhouse Education is a multi-state grant project that involves the University of Florida, the University of Vermont, the University of Arizona and Ohio State University. This portion of the grant was used to develop an interface for the Multimedia DVD which showcases videos taken on location at each of the participating states. The content can be viewed and browsed through by location and by topic. For additional information, visit the Team Exchange Page.

2004 Faculty Development Grant Winner - Peer-to-Peer Math Video Library

http://www.coe.ufl.edu/school/p2pvideo/

thumb project 7The goal of this project was to develop an elementary mathematics methods video library that presents preservice teachers in peer-to-peer interactions to model fundamental mathematical concepts across the K-5 mathematics curriculum. The project was showcased at the 2004 Faculty Development Grant showcase by the Principal Investigator, Thomasenia Lott Adams.

The project utilizes Windows Media 9 and was recorded and edited entirely in-house by CITT developer, Mike Gersten. The setup allows future dubbing of the videos to multiple languages. For assessment, the project incorporated short quizzes at the end of each video that consolidates learning. Worksheets are also provided for download.For additional information on the development of this project, visit the Team Exchange Page.

2004 Faculty Development Grant Winner - CINAHL Online Tutorial

http://www.library.health.ufl.edu/help/cinahl/

thumb project 8The goal of this project was to develop a web-based tutorial that teaches visitors how to use the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL). This project was showcased at the 2004 Faculty Development Grant Showcase by Principal Investigators, Beth Layton and Pam Sherwill-Navarro. The tutorial has a parallel structure, modeling specific behavior through narrated case studies and subsequently inviting students to apply the behavior in closed simulations. The example movies were developed using Flash MX and narrated by students at the Theatre department in the University of Florida. The simulations were developed using RoboDemo. For additional information, visit the Team Exchange Page.

College of Medicine Website - Site Evaluation

http://www.med.ufl.edu//

thumb project 9When the College of Medicine decided to redesign their website, they contacted CITT to perform an ongoing assessment contract, geared toward validating ADA accessibility, W3C standards compliance and usability. The staff at CITT reviewed the development progress at critical stages and provided assessment reports that were then used to improve and optimize production. Visit the College of Medicine page at http://www.med.ufl.edu.

Partnership in Global Learning - Site Evaluation

http://pgl.ufl.edu/online/

thumb project 10The Partnership in Global Learning (is an international collaboration between K-12 schools, universities and corporations to promote the growth of distributed learning on a global scale. This contract seeks to provide the organization with a full assessment that reviews ADA compliance, W3C compliance, sound instructional design and structure. Recommendations from the CITT are provided in a report for the client to review. If they should choose so, they may continue with a development contract where CITT will implement the recommended changes.

Effective Irrigation Management

http://grove.ufl.edu/%7Eeim/

thumb project 11This NATIONAL AWARD-WINNING site is the online translation of the face-to-face Effective Irrigation Management workshop conducted by IFAS extension. It incorporates interactivity and multimedia to convey valuable information pertinent to Environmental Horticulture growers. It was honored by the American Society of Horticultural Science with the "Outstanding Publication" award presented on July 18, 2004 in Austin, Texas.

Substrate Nutrition

http://citt.ufl.edu/Marcela/substrate/index.htm

thumb project 12The Substrate Nutrition site is intended to be an instructional resource for growers interested in determining the properties of a given substrate. By providing information and multimedia materials to help clarify the process, it is hoped that these growers will be able to more effectively manage a plant's nutrition needs For additional information, visit the Team Exchange Page

Surface Tension Learning Object
