Designing a Robust Infrastructure for Digital Learning: Abbotsford's IT Roadmap for Multimedia Design and Online Learning
Abstract: Abbotsford School District will provide their IT Roadmap to outline how a robust infrastructure supports digital learning in the classroom and through online and blended learning environments. The session will describe the components of the infrastructure plan including hardware, software and network support for these learning environments. Strategies required to deploy a district wide upgrade to all components of the infrastructure will be shared. The presentation will outline the design and architectures for educational technology systems and outline how blended learning environments are created through classroom web sites, a SharePoint portal and Moodle courses. This session focuses on how to provide the technical support that enables teachers at all instructional levels to have the opportunity to develop, share and have students create multimedia and participate in problem-based learning demonstrating understanding of curriculum content using technology.
