How learning repositories enable personalized instruction | eSchool News | eSchool News - 1 views

    "Access to learning repositories is helping educators locate more impactful content for students learning-repository-instructionThe emergence of open educational resources, coupled with students' desire for more personalized learning, has fueled a need for content repositories that enable teachers, students, and parents to locate effective learning resources and educational content quickly. Now, the state of Illinois is developing efforts to help teachers and students leverage tagged educational content to make learning more customized, and effective, for students. The Illinois Shared Learning Environment (ISLE) will help educators use data and other tools to connect students with the learning resources and instructional content best suited to their needs. State educators can use student data to locate tagged educational resources and learning materials that suit each student's needs, moving away from a "one size fits all" mindset."

    "Guide to Piloting CK-12 Quick Guide to Doing a Pilot All of CK-12 Foundation's resources (FlexBook System, FlexMath, INeedAPencil, BrainGenie, and studyHELP) are free and open for use by everyone, anywhere. We do, however, invite our administrator and teacher users to initiate a more formal exploration of our offerings in the form of a pilot. Below is a quick guide to doing so with questions to consider. The actual implementation will be a joint effort by the school and CK-12 (pilots@ck12.org) CK-12 Pilot - the systematic implementation of CK-12 resources as part of an official exploration to fully incorporate the content and services into a school or class curriculum with structured feedback and data being provided to CK-12 for improving our future development OVERALL PILOT DEFINITION How many schools, students and teachers will be involved in the pilot? What subjects will be explored (e.g. Physics, Algebra)? What are the content needs (e.g. standards-alignment, lesson plans)? What CK-12 offering best meets your needs (e.g. FlexMath for Algebra I)? What are the technology needs for presenting content to students (e.g. projector, laptops, tablets, print)? What is the pilot duration? TACTICS FOR IMPLEMENTATION Select a project manager to oversee and define roles and to coordinate across schools and teachers Establish a main point of contact for corresponding with CK-12 Assign roles for customizing CK-12 content for your school and compiling and uploading finalized materials Have editors and reviewers view online training materials and attend webinar(s) to familiarize themselves with the CK-12 platform CK-12 SUPPORT Set up accounts at www.ck12.org Create a timeline for editing content and coordinate editing collaboration Set up training schedule (online and/or onsite) with CK-12 for your school / district Weekly/monthly check-in meetings to ensure progress with pilot PILOT RESULTS & NEXT STEPS

    "I'll argue that what is useful is making better decisions. That is, the ability to explain what's happened and react, or predict what will happen and make the right choice as as consequence. This comes from model-based reasoning. What sort of learning helps model-based reasoning? Two types, in a simple framework. You need to process the models to help them be comprehended, and use them in context to make decisions with the consequences providing feedback. Yes, there likely will be some content presentation, but it's not everything, and instead is the core model with examples of how it plays out in context. That is, annotated diagrams or narrated animations for the models; comic books, cartoons, or videos for the examples. Media, not bullet points. The processing that helps make models stick includes having learners generate products: giving them data or outcomes and having them develop explanatory models. They can produce summary charts and tables that serve as decision aids. They can create syntheses and recommendations. This really leads to internalization and ownership, but it may be more time-consuming than worthwhile. The other approach is to have learners make predictions using the models, explaining things. Worst case, they can answer questions about what this model implies in particular contexts. So this is a knowledge question, but not a "is this an X or a Y", but rather "you have to achieve Z, would you use approach X, or approach Y". Most importantly, you need people to use the models to make decisions like they'll be making in the workplace. That means scenarios and simulations. Yes, a mini-scenario of one question is essentially a multiple choice (though better written with a context and a decision), but really things tend to be bundled up, and you at least need branching scenarios. A series of these might be enough if the task isn't too complex, but if it's somewhat complex, it might be worth creating a model-based simu

    "n order to provide enough time for teachers to work together effectively, such models frequently require schools to overhaul their schedules or arrange for a delayed-start time (Sawchuk, Nov. 10, 2010b; Sawchuk, March 3, 2010). Such practices can be paired with other opportunities for deepening practice, including observing fellow teachers and working one-on-one with classroom-based "coaches," or content experts (Keller, 2007). Other variations of site-based professional development include the Japanese practice of lesson study, in which a teacher creates and teaches a model lesson. The lesson is observed and sometimes videotaped so that colleagues can analyze the lesson's strengths and weaknesses and determine how to strengthen the lesson (Viadero, 2004). Hard data on which professional-development models lead to better teaching are difficult to come by. In essence, professional development relies on a two-part transfer of knowledge: It must inculcate in teachers new knowledge and skills such that they change their behavior, and those changes must subsequently result in improved student mastery of subject matter. Unsurprisingly, the complex nature of those transactions renders the field of professional development a challenging one to study. Much of the research conducted on professional development continues to be descriptive rather than quantitative (Sawchuk, Nov. 10, 2010c). "

8 Easy Steps for ELearning Storyboards | LearnDash - 1 views

  •  
    "1. Understand the Goal of the Course This the main reason why you are creating the course - it's the primary objective. Make sure everyone is on the same page as to the purpose of the elearning. 2. Collect Content Assess what content currently exists and map that against what needs to be created. The gaps you discover are what need to be covered in the course content. 3. Define the Learning Objectives Each course should have objectives, and those objectives should relate back to the overall goal of the elearning program as defined in #1. 4. Create Assessment Criteria What good is elearning without measuring its effectiveness? Before creating courses, you should define what you will measure, and how this data will be collected. 5. Use Templates Where Possible For your storyboard, and courses, you should use elearning templates to help speed-up content development. Templates also let you focus on the content instead of the design - perfect for tight timelines. 6. Choose a Design Model Certainly optional, but it is helpful to understand the lifecycle of your course development, and models like ADDIE or SAM can ensure everyone is on the same page as to development and delivery expectations. 7. Select Design Elements Are you going to rely on simulations, videos, graphics, and text? If so, define each of the elements in accordance to the material you are going to deliver. For example, software training via elearning often benefits from simulations. 8. Choose an Authoring Tool There are many out there (Articulate, Captivate, iSpring, etc.), so you'll want to do your research on which tool is ideal for your situation - including type of content, timeline, and budget."
