Pedagogy
  • "The andragogic model asserts that five issues be considered and addressed in formal learning. They include
    1. letting learners know why something is important to learn,
    2. showing learners how to direct themselves through information, and
    3. relating the topic to the learners' experiences
    4. people will not learn until they are ready and motivated to learn.
    5. often requires helping them overcome inhibitions, behaviors, and beliefs about learning."
      (Learnitivity, 2002)

Project Workshop

The Project Workshop will be offered quarterly. There will be three on-campus meetings. The on-campus meetings will include review of projects underway. Sessions will include focus topics for general discussion. Sessions will also provide an opportunity to work with the facilitators and other training staff on individual components for the participants' projects.

The online component of the Project Workshop incorporates assignments requiring participants to contribute to discussion topics and communicate with other participants and the workshop facilitators. Discussion posting include anecdotal evidence supporting inclusion of rubric elements in course design and technology integration.

Project / TEI - Online Teaching and Learning Completion Criteria

WebCT Exemplary Course Project
http://www.webct.com/exemplary
2003 Scoring Rubric - View the Exemplary Course rubric (PDF)
http://www.webct.com/service/ViewContent?contentID=13423678

Course Design Training/Skills
Participants must be able to describe the level of Bloom's taxonomy that is appropriate for their project and explain the decision to adopt that level. Address issues of good practice for instructor-student contact in distance learning.


Course Content
Participants must be able to discuss the educational significance of the content. Address the following issues:
  • Content is core curriculum within the discipline. Core curriculum topics are typically covered to some degree in the introductory classes within the discipline and/or "Everyone teaches it" and/or it is identified as a core area by the discipline's professional organizations
  • Content is difficult to teach and learn.
  • Content is a pre-requisite for understanding more advanced material in the discipline

Interaction and Collaboration
Participants must be able to describe the interaction and collaborative elements of the project, and define the minimum level of student participation and justify that target.

Technology
Participants must be able to discuss how the use of technology in instruction can enhance and enable student learning, describe how they have met these objectives using technology in their project, and discuss the technology that they have adopted for their course. Participants must be able to describe the potential (or actual) effectiveness of instructional technology and how it is likely to improve teaching and learning given the ways the students could use the technology.
  • Reflection and analysis
  • Communication

Assessment
Participants must be able to describe the quality and type of assessments used within a project to evaluate student work. The assessment should include the following:
  • Critical thinking strategies
  • Practice and application of concepts and skills
  • Authentic learning opportunities
  • Expectations

Learner Support
Participants must be able to discuss the need for learner support services in the delivery of their project, and how these will be met.
  • Tutorials
  • Access to online resources
  • Help

Good Models of Teaching with technology
http://knowledgeloom.org/practices3.jsp?location=1&bpinterid=1163&spotlightid=1163

ESSENTIAL - The following elements are always present in good models of teaching with technology.
  • Standards - must be aligned with local, state, and national standards, e.g. De Anza Distance Learning Guidelines. De Anza Curriculum Committee, articulation agreements with UC and CSU

  • Assessment - must clearly identify indicators of success to the student

  • Accessibility - must meet the needs of all learners including those with special needs

STRATEGIES - Any number of the following strategies may be utilized in good models of teaching with technology.
  • Active Learning - Curricular activities rely on virtual and/or real manipulative materials
    • learners interacting with an environment
    • manipulating the objects in that environment
    • observing the effects of their interventions
    • constructing their own interpretations
    • exploration

  • Constructive Learning - Students construct their own understanding building on what they already know and learners construct models to explain observations
    • multiple solutions to problems accepted
    • errors used to clarify and refine knowledge in activity
    • builds on prior knowledge

  • Authentic Learning - Real world tasks and primary sources connect learners to the world around them
    • Meaningful, real-world tasks
    • Case-based or problem-based environment
    • Connections to community, state, world outside of school
    • Personal connection

  • Cooperative Learning - Students work in groups with specific tasks or roles assigned
    • Learners work to complete a common task
    • Learners complete tasks that require communication
    • Learners complete tasks that require individuals to assume separate roles

  • Intentional/Reflective Learning - Students are encouraged to generate their own questions and explain their problem solving strategies
    • Learners articulate the learning goals
    • Learners explain what they are doing and/or strategies they use
    • Learners explain how they find answers
    • Learners manage and/or monitor their own learning
