  1. Teaching with Technology: Turning your Passion into Fame and Fortune (a Case Study) Dr. Laurie S. Starkey Chemistry Department lsstarkey@csupomona.edu TQE Technology Workshop, 8/12/07

  2. About CHM 317L • 1st quarter of year-long Organic Chemistry Laboratory sequence • Recurring problem: unprepared students (wastes time, minimal learning, unprepared for CHM 318L) • Solution: Create an online prelab tutorial • Use time outside of class • Audio, video and animations make it interesting, engaging • Thoroughly explore theory and practice IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING!

  3. Creating the Tutorial: Software Developed using MS PowerPoint and Adobe Presenter (aka Breeze, Connect) • Delivers content via Internet • 24/7, Flash Player, streaming video • Access can be controlled through Blackboard • Student use can be tracked • Quiz questions can be added Accessibility Accountability Assessment

  4. Creating the Tutorial: Adding Spice Designed/Incorporated Flash animations • If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a moving picture is worth…?! • I&IT Learning workshop Tue. 10/9 10am-noonhttp://www.csupomona.edu/~iit/learning/ • Flash H.O.T. (Hands-On Training) ISBN 0321293886

  5. Creating the Tutorial:Adding video • Videotaped lab demonstrations(Mediavision; Terry Hogan) • Enhance lecture with “talking head” • Videos are streamed: fast, manageable http://connect.csupomona.edu/distillation

  6. The Scholarship of Teaching Turn it into a research project! • Formulate a question • Collect data • Pre-/Post-Intervention • Quantitative and Qualitative data • Get IRB approval (Human Subjects) • Perform assessment • Share results

  7. Communicate & Take Credit! • Share your experience with others • “Success Stories” CPP faculty symposium • Present at a professional meeting • Publish in Education journal • Seek support • Faculty Center for Prof. Dev. Investigation of Teaching and Learning (ITaL Fellowship) • Faculty Center for Prof. Dev. Mini-Grant • e.g., College of Science Quality Learning Fund • Document your efforts in RTP • Learning-Centered emphasis • “wow” your audience with some data!

  8. My Research Plan (FCPD ITaL) Collect Pre-tutorial data • Three sections of CHM 317L W07 • Administer prelab quiz & survey • Observe students during lab period Incorporate online Distillation Tutorial Collect Post-tutorial data • Three sections of CHM 317L Sp07 • Administer prelab quiz & survey

  9. Prelab Quiz: Overall Score Sp 07: 29 students watched entire video; 7 watched some Mean = 30/65 Mean = 50/65

  10. Prelab Quiz: Apparatus Sketch Percent of Students at each Score (Max Score = 10 points)

  11. Prelab Survey: Confidence in Running Distillation Experiment Mean = 5.0 Mean = 7.6

  12. Prelab Survey: Usefulness of Online Materials
