  1. Active Learning inComputer-Based-Instruction Edward Anderson Texas Tech University ASEE- 2007 Workshop

  2. Agenda • Why active learning • Computer-base-instruction examples • Organizing your own lectures in “audio over slide” format working session • Roman Taraban - assessment and what we have learned.

  3. Why Active Learning?

  4. Why active learning? • Lecture Good CBI

  5. Why active learning? • Poor CBI

  7. Why active learning? • Immediacy & Practice

  8. Why active learning? • Immediacy & Coaching

  9. Why active learning? • Immediacy & Coaching Results

  10. Why active learning?

  11. Examples • Introduction to Thermodynamics • Engineering Statics • Material Science Laboratory • Nos Vemos Project

  12. Your Turn Project • Flash Software • Ubiquitous • Flexible • Vendor-Independent • Band Width Friendly • Time Line – Layer Metaphor • Readily Learned • Today’s presentations become part of tomorrow’s course modules

  13. Your Turn Project • Nos Vemos Engine is a good Starting Point • Allows presentation of videos, audios, graphics and streaming text • Engine written for content creator, not for programmer • Navigation, streaming, and synchronization are automatic

  14. Your Turn Project • Storyboard is the heart of the project • Two Screen Formats • Large Screen with Audio, Graphic, & Streaming Text • Small/Medium Screen with Audio, Graphic, & Streaming Text

  15. Your Turn Project (Large Screen Format) • See LARGE SCREEN WORKSHEET.DOC File

  16. Your Turn Project (Small/Medium Screen Format) • See SM-MED SCREEN WORKSHEET.DOC File

  17. Your Turn Project • Take some time to begin building your own storyboard • Large and Sm/Med forms are in your packet • I have additional forms if you need them

  18. Your Turn Project • QUESTIONS & OBSERVATIONS

  19. Your Turn Project - Production • Audio Production • Any audio recording and editing software that produces MP3 file is acceptable; • I prefer AUDACITY which is freeware. • Available at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ or search on “audacity freeware” • Don’t forget to install the separate MP3 DLL module.

  20. Your Turn Project - Production • Graphics Production • Any graphic editor that produces JPEG files will work • I prefer Macromedia FIREWORKS • Export Powerpoint slides as JPEGS and resize them with a graphic editor. • There must be many other ways of producing JPEG graphics.

  21. Your Turn Project - Production • Video Production • Record Digital Video • Edit with software such as Adobe PRIEMER • Import video into Flash • Publish from FLASH as a Flash movie (.SWF format)

  22. Your Turn Project - Production • FLASH Production • Use FLASH to prepare you Flash movie • Publish the movie as a shockwave file (.swf) • Time consuming • Suggest that these be developed as student projects

  23. Files can be all be placed in a single folder or a system of folders like shown here. HTML & flash Movie files required for Web Flash player required for CD or Hard drive Module Map is always required Your Turn Project – File Organization

  24. Place MP3 files in audio folder Place JPG files in Graphics folder Place SWF movies in Movies folder Load all files on a web server or local media One folder like this one for each learning module Your Turn Project – File Organization

  25. Your Turn Project -Sequencing • ModuleMap.XML is the slide sequencing file • This is an XML file using XML markup • Edit only with a XML editor, like Macromedia Dreamweaver or a no-frills text processor like Notepad • All markup tags must have an opening and closing tag and must be properly nested. • Your storyboard is used to generate this file

  26. Your Turn Project -Sequencing • SAMPLE MODULEMAP.XML FILE • <CourseModules TITLE="NOS VEMOS" PROF="Ed Anderson"> • <MODULE ID="1"> • <AUDIOFILE>Audios/a001.mp3</AUDIOFILE> • <LARGEFILE>Graphics/Scr001.jpg</LARGEFILE> • <STEXT>Buenos dias mi amigos!</STEXT> • </MODULE> • <MODULE ID="2"> • <AUDIOFILE>Audios/a002.mp3</AUDIOFILE> • <MEDIUMFILE>Graphics/Scr002.jpg</MEDIUMFILE> • <SMALLFILE>Graphics/Scr002A.jpg</SMALLFILE> • <STEXT>First off</STEXT> • </MODULE> • </CourseModules>

  27. Your Turn Project -Sequencing • Write a ModuleMap.xml file for your storyboard

  28. Your Turn Project -Sequencing • Questions & Observations
