Problem Centered Activity
The following is a problem centered activity that was developed to teach the wildlife of Australia to children. The children are challenged to research animals found in Australia, then write a email to their principal to save him. Additional teacher information can be found on the teacher page.
The PCA is defined as an Internet-based, instructional technology, student-driven learning experience. It is typically hierarchical in structure that tends to provide the viewer with more freedom of navigation and information display. Discipline content in the PCA is gathered and deciphered (from other web presence sources or web pages within the activity) to solve an engaging problem presented at the onset of the activity. The general design of the PCA is Introduction-Task-Process-Research-Assessment. However, these categories may be modified terminology-wise or structurally depending on the viewing audience age. The viewer with basic Internet navigation techniques should be able to explore online activities in the hierarchical structure with clearly labeled navigation links.
