V. Creating Web Exercises
Internetgerechte Konzepte und Entwürfe

 

1. The Web as Course Information Hub

The World Wide Web can be used as a multimedia outlet and information hub which offers students instant access to course materials and related resources. A well constructed server hub allows students to research subject fields from many entry points, thus providing valuable tools and guidelines for extra-curricular explorations and independent study projects.

2. The Web as Conversation & Composition Prop

The web with its multimedia resources offers language learners an open-ended forum for reading, speaking, writing, and culture oriented activities. The scope is almost unlimited, ranging from museum visits and sightseeing tours to newspaper readings and radio reports.

Oral & Written Reports: Fotoserie zur Deutschen Einheit

Cultural Commentaries: Deutsche Kinderliteratur

3. The Web as Cross-Cultural Entertainer

Unique learning and entertainment domains exist in the form of online chat groups, MOOs (multi-object oriented), MUDs, and other forums for virtual role playing, shopping, and socializing. MOOs offer students excellent opportunities to improve their foreign language proficiencies, contact native speakers, participate in playful conversations, discover idiomatic expressions, learn about current topics, and experiment with online identities in the foreign language.

4. The Web as a Forum for Student Partnerships

A rewarding way to involve students in reading, writing and speaking activities centers around e-mail exchanges with native speakers abroad. Through special listservs or the Goethe-Institute's matching service, high school and college students can link up, and engage in correspondence involving personal and academic subject matters. The concurrent classroom assignments focus on oral or written reports about these information exchanges, and, perhaps, arrange for student visits abroad. A didactic expansion of such e-mail projects involves posting information directly on the world wide web through message galleries and multimedia course books such as Lt. Col. Sutherland's at the United States Air Force Academy.

5. The Web as Research Ramp

Utilizing the web as a research tool encourages students to become information scavengers and collectors. Numerous search engines provide well-marked tracks for information hunting and gathering, all of which are very simple to use. The results of these web inquiries can be posted as interactive bibliographies or webfolios. Publishing the clickable resource lists on Internet course pages provides teachers with oportunities to assess and exhibit students' works in public. The conceptual framework behind these course pages resembles the notion of museums or galleries where visitors can freely explore the exhibits at their own pace.
