  1. ACM Education Council Mtg 2012-06-18 Online learning for cs10k

  2. CS10K Question • Delivery CS10K course or CS10K PD? • Both! • However, students and adults learn differently! • Focus is work for the students first? • Can create online materials that can be used to collect data, allow teacher to adjust instruction • Supports instructors lean on pedagogy or content • What kind of investment are needed to make this work so that it’s scalable? • Faculty domain expertise time • Proposal – do one module, do it well, measure. E.g., Big Data • System gets tuned and “knows” student because it’s seen so many other student like it • Benefit • Can handle huge variance in incoming teacher ability and confidence

  3. What is needed in OLI model? • To design the environment • $500k • Open University spent £2.5M and didn’t do so well? • They “bought out” domain experts’ time • They threw it out? • Some faculty really take to it and buy in early • Takes a long time to design it well (module is shorter time) • What are the knowledge components needed for a task, how to sequence feedback for this, get unstuck • Have expert “think aloud” to get a sequence of steps • Learning curve analysis • How do you get teachers to participate? • Any resources for parts that are new or hard are welcome

  4. Sanity Check • Let’s not think online learning is the miracle cure • Great learning happens with mentoring, learning communities, face-to-face learning • Candace’s work is thought of as an “online book”, to support teaching the course itself. • Students using it, and proving help to give feedback • Let’s ask teachers about what they need • We already know what AP piloters had trouble with • Let’s remember prior success/failure with past • Teachers feel like they’re “add-on” to software • “Coaching” only happened with the very best students • Chris is on board with modules intended for students, as advocacy support as well. • “Module in a box”

  5. Concern : language issues? • University model: background, lecture, doing • Lab reinforces the doing, e.g., search example • This is a rich process, we have some stuff “ready” • We’re a language agnostic system • What about language wars? • We’ll support top N current systems, which will get us 95% of the way there.

  6. First Pilot of online learning • Tom Cortina @ CMU already developing modules, we could start there. • His non-majors course is similar • First round of piloters would volunteer to contribute as part of Community of Practice
