Trends in the Technology-Based Learning Environment Assignment Overview After reading the articles for Module 1, you should have a good idea of technology-based learning in both educational and business contexts. Throughout the course you will need to identify your intended audience for applying the technology-based learning activities. Once you have competed the readings, you should have a good indication of the trends in technology-based education. You will need to summarize and synthesize these trends for the Case Assignment. Case Assignment Read all the articles in the background section. Take notes and be able to discuss the main points from each author. Based on your reading and interpreting the authors main points, you must write a 4- to 5-page essay that addresses the following points: Assess the utility and efficacy of technology-based learning. Assignment Expectations Be sure to synthesize, not merely summarize, material from the background readings. Cite all sources in APA format.
OINTS, FORMAT, + LENGTH: This essay is worth 100 points. The minimum length is 2 FULL pages (maximum 4), which does NOT include the visual image that you paste into the essay or the works cited page entry at the end of the essay. In other words, you need 2 full pages of written text. The essay must be submitted in MLA format. Any essay that is not in MLA will receive a large point deduction.
SOURCES: You are required to follow 8th edition MLA source documentation guidelines to document the visual image you choose to write about. NO other sources can be included. The essay should be written based on your own thoughts and ideas about how the visual elements work to create meaning.
To document the visual image, you will need to write an in-text citation parenthetical directly below the image AND a full MLA-style Works Cited page entry on the last page of the essay. See the document posted in the course Essays section titled How to Cite Visuals for more details. If MLA source documentation is new to you, you can read more about how it works in documents posted in the course Research section and/or your textbooks MLA section. If you use any information that comes from a source that is not documented, your paper will receive a zero for plagiarism. Please remember that simply writing a web address where a source can be found does NOT count as documenting your source.
ASSIGNMENT DETAILS:
Write a visual analysis of a PSA (Public Service Announcement), political cartoon, or meaningful photograph. The essay should explain how the visual elements in the image work together to create an overall message / argument.
The primary components of the essay are:
1. Analytical language that shows how the visual elements in the image work together to convey the meaning of the image;
2. MLA source documentation for the visual image.
Follow these basic steps, then read the rest of this document to put your work into its essay form:
1. Find a good visual image to use (a PSA or political cartoon or photograph).
2. Analyze the rhetorical situation (details below).
3. Analyze the visual elements: Use the Elements of Composition document to formulate visual analyses points to discuss throughout the essay.
4. Think about (and make notes) how the visual elements work to create meaning.
5. Write a source entry for the image; use the How to Cite Visuals document for help.
TO BEGIN:
Choose a PSA, political cartoon, or a photograph that is complex enough to analyze. Photographs can be harder since you cannot use information written near the photo (only the photo itself), but there are some that work. A PSA or political cartoon is often rich enough to analyze on its own. The image you choose can include text (written words on the image itself), but note that the focus of your analysis should be on the visual elements of the image. No source other than the image itself is allowed in the essay, so you cannot discuss any kind of article or information that is outside of the image in your paper. See document posted in the course for suggestions / examples of good visuals to use in this type of essay.
Paste a copy of the image into your document directly below the heading and the original title you give to your essay. Include an in-text citation parenthetical directly below the image. See information in How to Cite Visuals document and/or in the Nortons MLA Guidebook Updated PDF posted in the Research section of our course.
The INTRODUCTION of the essay should give a brief description of the image and include information about its rhetorical situation. What is the images title and who is its creator (if known)? How did you come to that conclusion? What is the visuals major claim/argument/purpose? The rhetorical situation is basically the context of the image, which is determined by the purpose or message of the image, the sender/creator of the image, and the audience. Think about how these elements work together to create the meaning we process automatically when we see the image but dont usually stop to analyze and interpret.
The last sentence (or two) of the first paragraph must be a specific THESIS. Your thesis should give readers an overview of what to expect in the essay. It should assert the main visual elements you will analyze and discuss AND the conclusion you make about how those elements create a message or argument that influences those who see it. The visual elements you mention broadly in the thesis then become the major points in your body paragraphs as you delve into explaining them more specifically.
THE VISUAL ANALYSIS PARAGRAPHS:
Examine the image you chose with a critical eye. Look closely at the various elements of composition within it and how they work to create the meaning of the visual. You may wish to start with the focal point of the image. The paragraphs that analyze the visual elements in the image should walk your reader through the image by describing how the eye moves across the picture. Be sure to explain how these elements support the ads purpose.
To provide a full and in-depth analysis of the visual image, you should review the resources posted in our courses Essay section, which includes a list of questions that will help you brainstorm about visual analysis; and the video assigned, which explains how to analyze images. Use the informational materials related to visuals as a starting point to help generate ideas and to help you incorporate visual analysis language in your essay. Consider elements such as angles, composition, framing, lighting, color, etc. You should also think about the context and sub-context found in the image and how all the elements work together to affect people who view the images. This is where the Elements of Composition chart will be the most helpful to you. CTRL + click the image below, or find it in the Essays section of our course.
After looking at the visual composition of the image, consider the text included with it any words and how the image might be using rhetorical techniques, figures of speech, diction, or other such textual strategies to contribute to the meaning.
The CONCLUSION of the essay should restate/rephrase the thesis the conclusion should never use the exact same wording as the introduction, of course and major elements/techniques that you examined, and conclude your discussion of the meaning / argument presented by the visual image.
THE LAST PAGE = WORKS CITED
After your concluding paragraph, title the last page of your essay Works Cited (that should be centered at the top of the last page). Write a full MLA-style citation entry for the visual image. See the How to Cite Visuals document and/or the Nortons MLA Guidebook Updated PDF to write the source entry.
Essays that do not include full MLA works cited page entries will be given a maximum grade of 50. Source documentation will also be an important part of the upcoming research paper, so now is a good time to learn or review it. Also, it is important to write titles correctly in your essays. Titles of PSA ads and cartoon titles are written in quotation marks.

Topic: John Stuart Mill claimed that Britain was “the power which, of all in existence, best understands liberty. ” All Sources used must be cited in MLA footnotes.The best papers are typically those which provide a close analysis of the reading to develop a hypothesis and sustain an argument and rely upon lecture notes primarily to provide context.
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, White Man’s Burden, called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., which the poem was directed at, to take up the mission of civilizing these “savage” peoples.Instructions

Consider Paulo Freires Banking Concept of Education. After completing twelve years of formal education, we all can remember a class, or an occasion outside of class, to serve as an example of what Freire calls the banking concept of education, where students were turned into containers to be filled by their teachers.Freire claims that, Those truly committed to liberation must reject the banking concept in its entirety, adopting instead of concept of women and men as conscious beings, and consciousness as consciousness intent upon the world. They must abandon the educational goal of deposit- making replace it with the posing of the problems of human beings with their relations to the world. Problem-posing education, responding to the essence of consciousness intentionality rejects communiques and embodies communications.Use elaborate details to narrate your experience to illustrate how food and food customs help define who you are. Revisit Geeta Kotharis narrative, If You Are What You, Eat, Then What Am I? for guiding inspiration.
Turn to the language of Freires argument taking key phrases and passages to see how they might be used to support your own argument. Use the details from your experiences to test and examine what Freire says, particularly those passages that you find difficult or obscure.
Approach this analysis of your personal relationship with food closely to examine your past and/or current food choices and habits. Perhaps you consider yourself a victim of the Banking Concept which reflects class / income challenges that directly impact your resources and beliefs about healthy eating.
On the other hand, you may consider your relationship with food as healthy due to simply knowing how to make wise food choices adopted by your family or community. Health challenges related to food consumption such as diabetes, high blood pressure or food sensitivities, and / or allergies may have helped you make better food choices that illustrate a more Problem Posing approach to your diet.
Whether you lean towards the Banking Concept or Problem Posing Concept you must align Freires argument alongside details from your experience and beliefs to analyze your relationship with food.
FORMATTING:Use at least three but no more than five direct quotes or paraphrased passages from The Banking Concept of Education to support your argument.
