Abstract

The focus, in higher education has been primarily on asynchronous methods of course delivery rather than on synchronous systems. Students utilize course content, e-mails, discussion postings and other related materials via an asynchronous system, such as Blackboard or TaskStream. Recent developments in software design are now permitting e-learners access to virtual classrooms with synchronous communication with their “e-teacher.” A discussion and demonstration of Florida A&M University’s College of Education two (2) course content learning management systems, Blackboard specifically designed to deliver and manage e-learning assignments and material for a specific course and TaskStream a web-based electronic portfolio, assessment management and standards-based instruction tool. These learning management systems will demonstrate how effective instructional design utilizing both delivery systems impact e-learning in a course designed for freshmen and pre-education majors.
