Dr. DeMars was at a conference somewhere in the United States. Dr. DeMars could be spying on us through a painting in the library. He could have had a face transplant to look like Dr. Dempsey; therefore he has been on campus the entire time. Today, he could be in a tree with free wifi and itablet, making sure we do everything correctly. Technical needs Dr. DeMars has is a computer connected to the Internet, and some sort of keyboard It doesn’t matter where Dr. DeMars was as long as he had access to a computer with Internet. Technical needs I had were a working computer, keyboard and Internet. Digital media technology of today allows students to obtain immediate access to a question of an exam, as if the professor were actually present in a classroom. Thursday’s portion of the exam was as much like a “real” exam without the presence of an instructor “in front of students.” Students had to write an essay, similar to “regular” exam processes, but different because instructions were based online instead of on a paper in front of the student. It could have been a more non-traditional test by using Second Life. Second life would have been a fun learning environment to be quizzed over topics in class-by participating, the professor could give a grade from students’ range in answers. Another way of being “non-traditional” would have us post pictures of our work stations in the library so the professor could have a way to view our testing environment.
