| 20110200978 | ONLINE INSTRUCTIONAL DIALOG BOOKS - A computer implemented instructional management system enables educators to organize and integrate Internet-based or other digital content with planning, assessment, and intervention information. Interactive instructional dialog files, or simply “dialogs,” offer a flexible alternative to traditional printed textbooks in the education environment. Dialogs are assembled into a larger electronic, interactive instructional content presentation, or “Dialog Book.” Thus dialog books are comprised of instructional resource content comprising individual instructional dialogs aligned to standards for inclusion in a book chapter; and links to websites, and various other digital media content. Flexible online creation and editing of dialog books supports dynamically (a) Aligning instructional materials directly to pacing calendars; (b) Adapting instructional materials to accommodate changing educational standards and advances in knowledge within the educational materials; (c) Constructing intervention portfolios that document intervention implementation and outcomes; and other benefits. These resources can be shared electronically across classrooms, teachers, districts and even states. | 08-18-2011 |
