PBL and FYE at Millersville • UNIV 103 = 3 credit seminar • Some grouped by major • Some have research assignments • Information literacy as course objective • Librarians: PBL + UNIV 103 info. lit sessions + iPads • iBooks and iTunes U • Team-teaching
Why do we <3 it? • Less preparation time • Less lecture time • Easy to customize/grow program • Engaged students • Multimedia opportunities • Better troubleshooting (team teaching) • Fulfills information literacy objective
Challenges? • Learning curve with iPads • Solution → Divide work in pairs (ex: one with iBook, one with browser) • Convincing students: there is “no right way” • Faculty interest/soliciting requests • Mac required • Time/effort for implementation
Why iTunes U? • Easy to create courses • Updates quickly • Allows for variety of learning materials • Videos, audio, links, apps, presentations, documents • iBooks: text, videos, charts, tables, photo galleries, 3D images, etc. • Allows for self-pacing • Easy to license content (CC) • Easy to copy, share, and edit
Review and brainstorming • What does an iBook allow you to do that’s different than a worksheet? • What stands out as unique or exciting? • What teaching materials (tutorials, presentations, etc.) do you already have that you could use with an iBook?
Creating your own PBL iBook • Learning Outcomes • Problem Scenario: (Example at: http://tiny.cc/pblscenarios) • iBook Storyboard: (Example at: http://tiny.cc/pblpdf) • Page Design
