Designing & Developing Interactive Instructional Concepts

New Teaching Strategies
• Online instruction has sparked new teaching strategies for faculty to incorporate
• Strategies evident in– online courses– web-augmented course sites– campus-based courses*
3
New Teaching Strategies
• A key element in this new teaching strategy is the integration of interactive, instructional concepts
• The goal of this strategy is to more effectively engage students in the learning process*
4
Course Redesign
• When preparing to teach online, many instructors look at the campus-based model and try to design their online course based on this model
• In order for online delivery to be a successful learning medium for the student, though, a major redesign must take place*
5
Instructional Design
• The foundation for any course is based on good instructional design which begins with the development of clear, concise learning outcomes – determine critical course content
– discern what the students should know or accomplish based on the critical content
• What must the student know in order to function in authentic or real world situations?
• Example*
6
Instructional Design
• Decide what evidence is acceptable as proof of knowledge or accomplishment of the learning outcome– should be measurable through an applicable
assessment of that outcome – should provide evidence of mastery of the
learning outcome through student performance*
7
Instructional Design
• Learning outcomes should be communicated to the student include in syllabus list in course introductory module list for each individual module or unit convey in related activities, instructional
concepts and assignments*
8
The Learning Cycle
• Learning outcomes provide the framework for the instructional plan of the course which includes– an assessment plan based on learning outcomes – course activities and assignments based upon
learning outcomes – a plan for progressing through the
learning cycle*
9
The Learning Cycle
• The learning cycle is based on the student moving in and out of the activities, assignments, and assessments within the course
• Best if based upon a mastery learning concept– motivates the learner to focus upon learning
and not the score/grade*
10
Course Redesign
• The redesign process fosters the emergence of a teaching strategy, which facilitates students engaging themselves in their individual learning cycle
• This strategy is the integration of instructional concepts into the learning cycle for a particular module of content*
11
Instructional Concepts
• Instructional concepts are the application components of the critical content of a course or module– provides the student with the opportunity to
apply what they have learned
• These instructional concepts may be 1) concepts that have been historically difficult
for students
2) critical course concepts, which students must know to function in real-world situations*
12
Integrated Learning Experience
• Once developed, these instructional concepts can become a part of an integrated learning experience– Students should have gone through some critical
content learning activities prior to using the concept
– Needed to build a foundation for applying the instructional concept
• awareness of related learning outcome• readings from the textbook• content and concept lectures• threaded discussions• brief, formative content assessments
– Example: Medical Terminology—Word Building*
13
Integrated Learning Experience
– Student use of the instructional concept• complete the concept tutorial• complete the activities included in the concept• complete the formative assessments associated with
the concept
– Students are given the opportunity to work with the concept as many times as needed before completing a performance assessment
• this may lead the student back into the learning cycle for supplemental relearning and reassessment
• cycle back through the concept if the formative assessment indicates the need for relearning
• Electronegativity*
14
Integrated Learning Experience
– Additional content and/or concept related activities should follow the use of the concept
• threaded discussions
• activities and assignments
– To close the learning cycle the student completes some type of summative assessment
– Multiple learning cycles and their instructional concepts should occur within the course*
15
Design and Development
• The curriculum specialist works with a faculty member to identify an appropriate instructional concept – Simple storyboarding techniques outline the
basic project– Sample drawing
• Students employees and/or interns are assigned to a project
• Appointment is scheduled with a project development team– Faculty, student employee/intern, computer
specialist, and curriculum specialist*
16
Design and Development
• The project is discussed in detail with the project development team and a plan is put in place to manage the project– Project plan*
17
Design and Development
• Student employee/intern becomes main coordinator of project with faculty– Set up meetings as the project progresses– Project outline– Make sure the project is on target with the
instructor’s expectations– Final project*
18
Template
• A template is used to plan the instructional concept
• The parts of the template include– Related learning outcome(s)
• Press release
– Related critical content • Timeline
– Concept tutorial• Includes text, graphics, animation, and narration of
process• Includes ability to replay the tutorial• Tutorial example*
19
Template
– Incorporate multiple learning modalities• Text and graphics• Animation with narration
– Change Demand
• Script of the narrations– Be aware of ADA compliance issues– Group Communication
– Build in the functionality to complete multiple applications/examples of the concept
• Equilibrium
– Include formative assessment of the concepts with immediate feedback
– Provide the opportunity for working through the concept multiple times*
20
Delivery Format
– Determine the appropriate delivery format• As multimedia software—Flash• Utilizing productivity software—Word, Excel,
PowerPoint– Calculating Net Percent Value
• As an HTML file• Content creation software—Tegrity
– Scatterplot Session– http://www.Tegrity.com
• Game creation software—The Game Creation System
– http://www.pieskysoft.com/products.html– http://www.ambrosine.com/resource.html*
21
Student Training
• Begin student training by having them rebuild a completed project
• Flash resources– http://www.flashkit.com– FLASH MX Action Script Bible– Examples from previous students
employees/interns• http://cite.nwmissouri.edu:2000/morc*
23
Project Costs
• Student employee/intern labor
• Intern labor is free
• Estimated hours on Medical Terminology instructional concept – Approximately 40 hours for design and
development of template– Approximately 40 hours for tutorial and
remaining duplicate concepts– Student labor per hour = $6
• Estimated total cost for project: $480*
24
Project Costs
• Additional costs that could be included– Faculty time– Student employee training time– Curriculum Specialist– Computer Specialist*
25
Resources
• Building a library of resources available to faculty campus-wide– many of these instructional concepts can be
used in a variety of content areas– template– web site to access resources– Northwest Online Resource Center*
