Yes iCan! Helping Faculty Successfully Integrate Technology in their Courses Mauricio CadavidInstructional DesignerCSU San Bernardino
‘Tentative’ Agenda • Introduction • Recognizing different levels of need • Difficulties I have faced • What’s my (personal) approach? • Discussion Challenges
This is not about YOU, this is about ME; unless you want to make it about YOU, then that is okay be ME… Individual results may vary!
The First Steps • Recognizing the different levels of need • Beginner, intermediate, advanced… • Asking simple questions: • What course? • How many students? • Modality? (f2f, hybrid, online) • When does it start? • What are the assessment plans? • Identifying any potential issues off the bat!
Challenges!!! • Lost in translation • Language/terminology • ADDIE Model, UD, ADA, Synchronous, Compliance, Accessibility, Virtual, Module, any others? • Lack of: • Direction • Goals • Objectives
Challenges!!! • Perceptions of Online/Hybrid teaching • Purpose • Having to vs. Wanting to • Course content • False idea of how much it can be done
Challenges!!! Reservations about technology • LMS • Software • Security • Cheating • Reliability of the system • Accessibility • Any others?
My Approach Checklist • Never start with “I know…” • Allow the faculty to “remain” in control of the initial conversation • Do not introduce technology until you find out more about their: • Course • Teaching style • Teaching approach • Syllabus • Course schedule • Course objectives
My Approach cntd. • Ask the faculty about their: • Expectations • Worries/challenges • Own level of technology proficiency • Allotted time to work on the course • Work together on an “action plan” • Include an accountability schedule Finally…
My Approach cntd. Finally, I share my ‘philosophy’ of education: My job is to make sure that technology does not come between what you need to teach and what students need to learn
