Roadmap for the Workshop Brief presentation to lay the groundwork Demonstration of a course Team-based activity Discussion
Setting the Framework • What makes a course “high-impact”? • Meaningful, relevant content • Alignment to standards • Efficient preparation for students • Clear goals and ways to measure achievement of the goals • What is a “blended” and “flipped” classroom? • AnantAgarwal video (6:20) • Delivery options • FERPAconsiderations
Developing Learning Outcomes • How do you create good learning outcomes? • Aligning to/representing standards • Appropriate for the intended audience • Clarity, measurability • Resources • Robert Mager, Preparing Instructional Objectives • Dick, Carey, and Carey, Systematic Design of Instruction • Ambrose, Bridges, DiPietro, and Lovett, How Learning Works
Assessing Outcomes • Aligning your outcomes to assessments • High-stakes • Formative • State/National standardized exams • Measurable verbs
Open Educational Resources • What are OERs? • "OER are teaching, learning, and research resources that reside in the public domain or have been released under an intellectual property license that permits their free use and re-purposing by others. Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge." The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation
Open Educational Resources • OER Commons • Carnegie Mellon Open Learning Initiative • Coursera • Creative Commons • Thinkfinity • Khan Academy • CK-12 • Open Course Library • Utah State OpenCourseWare • UCETEmail • UEN • Pioneer Library
Open Educational Resources • How do you incorporate OERs effectively? • Alignment to and coverage of outcomes • Interconnection • Activating prior knowledge • Providing opportunities for application • Formative data and remediation, if needed • Ensuring students can access and use the OERs • Homework versus in-class use
Sample Course Introduction to Art History
Group Activity • Working in small groups • Select a course/module/activity for which you would like to use OERs • Define at least 2 measurable learning outcomes • Search online for appropriate OERs • Whole Group Discussion: • What were your findings?
