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

4. Online learning & Libraries

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

6. 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

7. Design for Learning

8. Learning objectives
Assessment
Content
Practice
Backward Design

9. 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.

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

11. Backward Design
Content
Videos
Readings
Games
Etc.

12. Backward Design Practice Games Unscored quizzes Worksheets Simulations
Etc.

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

14. 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

15. 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

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

17. Learning Objectives

18. 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?

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

22. Get Ready to Respond
We’ll use Kahoot! to practice identifying measurable learning objectives.

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

26. Pair Up! Find a partner and write a measurable learning objective.
Can the objective be measured? Write an aligned assessment.

27. Storyboards

28. 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!

32. 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

34. How did you do?

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

36. Development Options

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

38. 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

39. Few Last Thoughts

40. 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)

41. 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.
