Definition and Background:   Electronic Web Enhanced Study Guides

 

 

Since the very beginning of teaching and learning, there has always been instructional

 

materials to enhance the acquisition of knowledge.  Outlines, articles, papers, summaries,

 

etc. have been used by teachers and students to teach and learn.  These materials have

 

been written on rock tablets, wood tablets, parchment tablets, all sorts of paper tablets,

 

finally  electronic web enhanced study guides to carry students beyond the written page.

 

A fundamental definition for a web enhanced study guide is any traditional study guide

 

that augments written information and/or definitions via  Internet and/or World Wide Web.

 

What is an Advanced Organizer? http://www.glnd.k12.va.us/resources/graphicalorganizers/

 

An instructional unit that is used before direct instruction, or before a new topic; this is

 

sometimes called a hook, set induction, or anticipatory set which was popularized by

 

David Ausubel, first in 1968  and introduced in advance of direct instruction along with

 

presented at a higher level of abstraction than the information presented later. It was

 

designed to bridge the gap between what the learner already knows and what the learner

 

needs to know thus the advance organizers does the task, through several research studies,

 

to improve levels of understanding and recall.
