Week 3 Project of the Week - Udutu

This week has been spent working on my Udutu training module for my thesis supported project. this has proven to be very challenging. Bringing my thesis to life with audio and videos of supported material is very time consuming and difficult to piece together the studies with the videos.
My training module consists of an introduction to the module followed by a pre-test which can be surpassed if already taken before. the pre-test is just to gauge learning the material by understanding current knowledge of the subject. After the test is a section on the human brain, key structures of the brain including hormones and chromosome. After demonstrating the human brain, the learner goes into learning differences between males and females that are in direct contribution to the various brain functions that are unique to each gender. Finally, there is a scenario that takes the learner though two videos watchin a male and female communicate and how various learning styles are incorporated into the process. There are several questions about the video to get the learner thinking about the possiblitlities between the genders, their differences and similarities.
The hope of the project is to creat an awareness of the biological factors within the human brain that contribute to gender differences in learning. There is another section that focuses on possible solutions to bridging the gender gap and gets the learner thinking about the possiblilities of closing the gap by using a webquest to facilitate further learning.
