The Problem of Online Instruction • Most online courses have tended to look much like “porting” existing classroom onto the internet…. (Bransford et al., 2002, p.190) • “Students were able (or required) to buy document packets (print-based) that contained identical information to that on the website.” (Cox, 2005, p.1779)
What is Online CBI? • True or False? • The online learning module includes a lot of examples so it is online CBI.
What is Online CBI? A case in CBI serves one or multiple pedagogical purposes Merserth, 1996
The Online CBI Modulehttp://mcbicenter.syr.edu/case1/case1.htm • What is it? • The learning module was created for two instructional design (ID) courses (one completely online and one blended) at graduate level.
The Online CBI Modulehttp://mcbicenter.syr.edu/case1/case1.htm Why is it?
The Online CBI Modulehttp://mcbicenter.syr.edu/case1/case1.htm Design Feature No.1: No default sequence

Perceived Usefulness 93% 81% 81% 44% Uncertain if they prefer the module to lecture-style instruction Module improved their analyzing skills Module learning is meaningful Would recommend similar case-based Modules
Valued and Not Valued CBI Features Freedom of customize learning “fun”, “game-like” “overwhelming”, “confusing”
Effects on Higher-Order Thinking “this (activity) is learning-by-doing…someone can tell you about their (ID) experience, but you might not get such clear understanding without actually doing it”. “ (completing the learning module) made me go back and review my IDE 631 readings and textbooks.” “I am so tired of those ‘made-up’ scenarios or tasks, ‘cause I think they are fake and less useful… this learning activity is different, I feel I am dealing with real-life issues and they are so much more complicated, made me think really hard to come up with possible solutions.
Discussing Questions • Based on your online learning or teaching experience, • What are the effective ways of designing online CBI? • What CBI features are most valued by the students? • What are the challenges for design and implementation?
