Designing CAI Frames Dr. Ennis-Cole CECS 5130
Designing Lesson Frames 1. Organize Effectively 2. Readily Interpreted 3. Clear Presentation
FRAMES Single Contents of a Screen Types of Frames: 1.) Transitional 2.) Instructional 3.) Question
Transitional Frames 1. Purposes: +Support Lesson Flow +Assist with Procedural Details + Smoothly Connect Lesson -Don’t Teach or Evaluate
Transitional Frames (Contextual /Procedural Support) + Orientation - objectives + Bridge - shifts in lesson
Transitional Frames (Contextual /Procedural Support) + Feedback - informational + Directions - format, features + Performance - end of lesson
Instructional Frames • 1. Instructional or Presentation Frames • introduce prior and current learning • present new instruction • support new instruction via examples, demonstrations, learner guidance • 2. Frequently Used Instructional Frames • Prerequisite, Definition • Example, and Rule
Instructional Frames • 1. Prerequisite • identify explicit relationships between past and current learning • help learner integrate current information into a useful context • provide substantial instructional support
Instructional Frames • 2. Definition • aids student learning - terminology focus • focuses learner attention to definitions • presents key terms phrases, important figures and other lesson information
Instructional Frames • 3. Example • supports teaching and learning by clarifying concepts • illustrates applications • supports lesson content
Instructional Frames • 4. Rule • emphasizes lesson information • focuses student attention • formulas, strategies, procedures = rule-based learning
Question Frames • Criterion Frames • solicit user information and input • help individualize instruction • Types: True-False, Yes-No, Multiple Choice, Completion/Short Answer, Constructed or Open-Ended
Question Frames • 1. True-False • Easy interpretation, simple responses • 2. Yes-No • Only two options, clearly stated • 3. Multiple Choice • Careful allocation of screen space for readability and question location • Question stem and answers
Question Frames • 4. Completion/Short Answer • Require one to three word responses • Questions must be organized clearly and uncued • Additional Challenges - spelling, punctuation, capitalization
Question Frames • 5. Constructed Response/Open-Ended • Most complicated CAI questions • Require sufficient guidance • Interrogation of simple phrases to several paragraphs • Must focus student attention and effort
Variations on Frames • Copy Frames • Instructional Material + Question • Focus student attention on certain information • Useful for directing student attention, obtaining student responses, and emphasizing lesson content
Variations on Frames • Prompt Frames • Explicit prompting • Designed for questions
Variations on Frames • Hint Frames • Intermediate step to aid learning and help the student produce the correct response • Provides information that might elicit a correct response
Variations on Frames • Interlaced Frames • Combine several types of frames • Useful for incorporating both a question and feedback information on the same frame • Facilitates learning by providing useful student information
Protocol in Frame Design • Consistent Designation of Frame Zones • Functional Zones Consistent with the type of Frame being displayed • Directions - Bottom • Information - Center • Develop an expectation for reading and comprehension
Procedural Protocol • Consistent Use of Lesson Procedures, Lesson Options, and Methods for obtaining Student Responses • Pacing Conventions • Response Formats • Changes in Lesson Pacing or Format should be announced before they occur
The End • “That’s all folks...”
