In the next 1.5 hours… Online learning and libraries Writing measurable learning objectives Aligning assessment Design a mini-tutorial on paper

Online learning & Libraries

What does Online learning look like to Librarians? Videos LibGuides Guide on the Side tutorials Quizzes

Teaching & Learning Traditional model: Active learning model: Lecture, “sage on the stage” Active learning model: Hands-on Practice and assessment aligned to learning/behavior objectives

Design for Learning

Learning objectives Assessment Content Practice Backward Design

Backward Design Learning objectives Students will be able to: Define… Give an example… List… Etc. LO’s should be specific, measurable, observable! Some of our learning objectives: Recall the research services that are available through Pollak Library. Recall the kinds of materials offered by Pollak Library. Make the learning objectives true to life, or something essential that students need to be able to know or do to move on.

Backward Design Assessment Multiple-choice True/False Short answer Simulations Etc.

Backward Design Content Videos Readings Games Etc.

Backward Design Practice Games Unscored quizzes Worksheets Simulations Etc.

Order of Learning Activities Learning objectives Content Practice Assessment Order of Learning Activities

Example Learning Objective Practice Content Assessment Students will be able to locate a book using the library website. Content Short video demonstration of how to find a book. Practice Simulation of library website with hints. Multiple-choice questions (ungraded). Assessment Simulation of library website (no hints). Multiple-choice questions (graded). Example

Chunk your Learning Activities Tutorials of 15 minutes or less Dump the kitchen sink (or break it up into multiple tutorials) Allow your learners to: Make progress quickly Complete work in short bursts, rather than all at once

Automate IT Wherever you can, automate the process! Content, practice, activities Especially grading!

Learning Objectives

Anatomy of a learning objective Audience – Who will be doing the behavior? Behavior – What should the learner be able to do? What is the performance? Condition – Under what conditions do you want the learner to be able to do it?

Anatomy of a learning objective Objectives should be specific, measurable, and observable. Avoid double-barreled objectives – address ONE behavior at a time.

Get Ready to Respond We’ll use Kahoot! to practice identifying measurable learning objectives. https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/f5d9370c-aa6d-42da-b0e4-38b9a8a76639

Writing a learning objective Audience? Behavior? Condition? Align an Assessment What assessment should we use for this objective?

Pair Up! Find a partner and write a measurable learning objective. Can the objective be measured? Write an aligned assessment. https://play.kahoot.it/#/k/2f06f31f-b27c-4ddd-becc-79f3dcacde5b

Storyboards

Design with a Storyboard Storyboards allow you to: Organize your thoughts See your tutorial at a glance Get feedback from colleagues Without having to redo anything you’ve developed already!

Storyboard a Tutorial Parts of a Tutorial Write your assessment Write a practice activity Write out your content Put it in order using your storyboard template! Inform learners of objectives Doesn’t have to be a list! Present the content Video, reading, etc. Elicit performance (practice) Let learners practice, and provide feedback Assess performance Test, quiz, simulation, etc. Parts of a Tutorial Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction Gain attention Inform learners of objectives Stimulate recall of prior learning Present the content Provide “learning guidance” Elicit performance (practice) Provide feedback Assess performance Enhance retention and transfer to the job

How did you do?

Tools to Storyboard PowerPoint Microsoft Word (text-based, use a table) Pen and paper

Development Options

Tutorial Development: Authoring Software Create interactive tutorials and quizzes and package as SCORM: Articulate Storyline 2 Adobe Captivate SoftChalk Lectora All cost $$$

Tutorial Development: Your LMS Don’t need fancy software: Build lessons and quizzes using your LMS Use free online tools like EdPuzzle to make practice activities Look for training on campus, or look to Lynda.com/YouTube for tutorials

Few Last Thoughts

Assessment is part of the learning process Provide learning guidance in practice & assessment activities Allow them to try again Our learners are adults – they can try it again, or not! Good practice to have open navigation so that they can proceed at their own pace. The assessment should be air-tight – whether they master the assessment by doing the content & practice, or by taking the final assessment over and over, who cares. They’re learning. (Ideally final assessment would have a question bank tho)

USER TESTING User testing. Seriously. User testing. Try it yourself, have your coworkers log in as students and try it, have student workers try it, THEN release it to the world along with contact information and a feedback form in case someone has issues.
