A distributed online curriculum and courseware (DONC2) development model is proposed in this study. Collaborative courseware development teams which may work in distributed academic or private institutions who need to develop higher quality, reduced cost, on time products are the users of DONC2 development model. The related features from the disciplines of instructional design and software engineering were combined and concepts like usability, especially in terms of formative and summative evaluation, interoperability and reusability were integrated into the model. The research is conducted as a collective case study, including four cases with distinctive characteristics to reveal the several practices in online curriculum and courseware development work. The DONC2 development model was proposed using the results gathered from the investigated cases and a literature survey. The model uses the iterative incremental and agile software development approaches in order to overcome the disadvantages of other linear system development approaches. This enables building releasable products in short time periods with increased quality. Furthermore, continuous communication, evaluation and feedback as well as good project management and readiness to adapt to changes are integrated as the essential characteristics. DONC2 development model is different than previous linear and non-adaptive models in all of these aspects.

A Distributed Online Curriculum and Courseware Development Model ONAY DURDU, PINAR; Yalabik, Nese; Çağıltay, Kürşat (2009-01-01) A distributed online curriculum and courseware development model (DONC(2)) is developed and tested in this study. Courseware development teams which may work in different institutions who need to develop high quality, reduced cost, on time products will be the users of DONC(2). The related features from the disciplines of instructional design and software engineering were combined. The research is conducted as a collective case study, including four cases with distinctive characteristics to reveal the sever...
A Categorical Principal Component Regression on Computer-Assisted Instruction in Probability Domain Kapucu, Tuğba; İlk Dağ, Özlem; Batmaz, İnci (2018-01-01) The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of computer-assisted instructional material (CAIM) prepared in R program on eighth grade students’ permutation–combination and probability achievement and their attitudes toward computer-assisted learning. In the study, we collect survey data from 74 conveniently selected students and their schools; data consists of 45 highly correlated explanatory variables with different measurement levels. To deal with the multicollinearity problem among mixed type of e...
An ınvestigation of a complementary feedback model for l2 writing: peer and teacher feedback versus teacher feedback Tokdemir Demirel, Elif; Enginarlar, Hüsnü; Department of English Language Teaching (2009) This study aimed at developing a complementary peer-teacher feedback model, in which students and teachers share the responsibility of providing feedback in a systematic way and testing its effectiveness. The effectiveness of the developed feedback model on improving students’ writing ability was tested in the context of a multiple draft writing course which followed a process approach with 57 preparatory class students at Karadeniz Technical University, Department of English Language and Literature for a p...
How a computer education teacher utilizes an online learning environment Durdu, Levent; Özden, Muhammet Yaşar; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2010) The purpose of this study is to examine in detail how a computer education teacher utilizes an online learning environment. The study tries to explore how a computer education teacher uses information technologies in classroom instruction, which methods s/he uses during integration process of the online learning environment, how s/he solves the problems s/he faced and his/her expectations from an online learning environment. Furthermore, based on the experiences of the computer education teacher use of onli...
An Action research on design, delivery and evaluation of a distance course in a vocational higher education institution Uzun, Erman; Özden, M. Yaşar; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Department of Computer Education and Instructional Technology (2012) The main purpose of the study was to design, develop, deliver and evaluate a new distance web design course for the needs of students in a vocational higher education institution. Proactive action research was used as a framework during the research process. This research focused on the analysis of the existing face-to-face course to mitigate its problems in the new design. Then, accomplishments and insufficiencies of the new design in the new context were investigated. For this study, data were collected i...
