Judith Robinson

Regular collaboration regarding the development of a multitude of instructional web sites.

Professor Robinson is in constant pursuit of developing her instructional skills through the Internet, for use in traditional and distance learning courses.

Launch site

I have worked with many faculty, staff, and students to provide training to those interested in publishing to the web and have witnessed firsthand the process of learning of the individuals that have gone through this training. In addition to workshops that have been offered, one-on-one sessions teaching web publishing skills are also a regular occurrence.

One particular faculty member who has taken advantage of this type of training is Judith Robinson , of the Department of Library and Information Science. Judith's skill level has increased dramatically in her ability to create course web sites. She has also created many in-depth web sites for classes and workshops that have been delivered completely online.

Professor Robinson has received positive feedback from her students regarding the clear and aesthetic presentation of information through her web sites. She uses a good amount of graphic images to demonstrate concepts throughout her sites. Judith has become a very confident user of the software programs Dreamweaver and Photoshop as tools to assist in the development process.

In the initial stages of working with Judith she was hesitant to try new ideas on her course web sites. Lately when we meet, she has many questions regarding how to accomplish tasks that she has seen implemented on other sites. These questions often challenge our knowledge base and require further research in order to get back to her with an answer. This is one of the exciting things about working with instructional technology; we are always researching new ways to assist the learning process.
