Discovering, Documenting and Integrating a SME’s Personal Resources

May 11, 2010 at 3:00 pm, George Joeckel

TPC 3D is an expansion of the TPCK/TPACK framework. By adding a layer for practices (TPCP) and a layer for beliefs (TPCB), TPC 3D allows Instructional Designers to discover, document and integrate the personal resources used by SME/Fs (Subject Matter Expert/Facilitators) to develop and deliver online courses via a LMS (Learning Management System) in higher education.

In this session participants will:

* Receive an overview of TPCK/TPACK
* Receive an overview of TPC 3D
* Explore a set of Instructional Design tools that utilize TPC 3D
* Observe how SME/F data informs Instructional Design decisions

As part of a three-year grant received by Purdue University Calumet’s School of Nursing to put the entire graduate program online, the Primary Investigators determined that instruction would be well suited to be put into the podcast format. With the use of iPod Touches provided by the grant, the podcast format allowed the students real time learning, flexibility, and mobility in their instruction. As a result, a podcast lab was created and implemented. Read the rest of this entry »

Hunting, Gathering, and Growing Open Educational Resources

May 15, 2009 at 4:02 pm, John Hilton

Update: Download the presentation file

This presentation will (1) introduce the open education movement and, specifically, open educational resources; (2) explain work done to identify and match OER to Open High School of Utah curriculum needs; (3) describe implications and recommend directions for instructional designers and teachers interested in working with and creating OER.

Purpose of the Presentation

A significant movement in education concerns the use of open educational resources. By “open” it is generally meant that the resource is available at no cost to others for adaptation and reuse in different contexts. These resources could include books, lesson plans, syllabi, slide shows, etc. There are several examples of individuals and institutions providing open educational resources. The open education movement is introduced, and we discuss how to find and organize open educational resources, specifically within the context of the  Open High School of Utah.

In addition, some frameworks for those interested in creating OER will be provided. The “open” in “open educational resources” is not a simple dichotomy; rather, there is a continuum of openness. We discuss four separate aspects of reuse and demonstrate how these describe different levels of openness. Licensing and technical aspects of open educational resources are also discussed

Presenter

John Hilton III is a doctoroal student in Instructional Psychology and Technology at Brigham Young University.

Intro to PLE Slides

The slides used in the first hour of the workshop, which introduce Web 2.0 and PLEs, are available as PPT: Grow your PLE with Web 2.0
The increasing popularity of Web 2.0 social software and tools along with better understanding of the nature of networks has inspired a rethinking of “traditional” e-learning models. Full-fledged conceptualizations of “networked learning” and “e-learning 2.0″ are becoming reality in the form of Personal Learning Environments (PLE). Though difficult to pigeon-hole, PLEs are often embodied by collections of personally-chosen tools and practices that, when woven together, facilitate, grow, and integrate networks of people and information. PLEs may consist of many different tools and connections based on a diversity of learner preferences. And because they are distinct and independent from monolithic learning management systems, PLEs innately foster authenticity in learning and interactions, and allow teachers and students to make education an ongoing part of their daily lives.

Building Your PLE

Focusing on technologies and applications, this workshop helps educators open doorways to this new paradigm. Participants will break into facilitator-led groups to determine their own direction before engaging in the construction of individual PLEs that address:
• Personal content production
• Reading and research
• Weaving the social network
The rhythm of this workshop will be marked by hands-on, group-supported activity interspersed with reflection and discussion—a model of learning and exploration analogous to practices found in Web 2.0 communities.
