Critical Friend Evaluation

Remember, web-based curriculum (or "curriculum web") is "a plan for a sustained process of teaching and learning, in which teaching and learning is facilitated with a linked set of web pages, providing explicit guidance to the learner and also providing access to selected web-based materials"

Generally, a curriculum web includes the following web materials:

• a "front page" or "portal" which provides the main entry point into the

• lesson "activity pages" which describe specific learning activities for students
  

• a "teacher page" which contains information useful to the teacher, including a "curriculum guide" or teaching guide

• on-line feedback mechanisms so students can communicate with the curriculum designer
  

• on-line assessments so students can test their knowledge or understanding
  

• links to relevant web sites

A web-based lesson is a bit different. It is usually a plan for a coherent unit of teaching and learning, generally designed to be completed in one class session, which utilizes the web as a medium for teaching and learning. Generally, the web page or pages will include instructions for the student, links to appropriate resources, and (occasionally), interactivity.
