Enhancing an Existing Course: A Participatory Workshop February 10, 2001 International Center for Computer Enhanced Learning, Wake Forest University

Quick Start: 5 strategies pursued by many early adopters 6 easy-to-learn computer techniques (for implementing the 5 strategies) Your Personal Educational Convictions & Theories List the Changes You Wish to Try in Your Specific Course

Beginning Assumptions Start by enhancing an existing course, not total redesign! Use only techniques that can be learned by faculty in less than an hour! Expect network reliability and access to knowledgeable help when needed! Recognize that no experiment can jeopardize the success of a student cohort (Garden Metaphor)

Beginning Guidelines Don’t get too ambitious. Know your limits. Start by enhancing, not redesigning. Emphasize learning strategies, not technology Keep the technology simple (not as much for the students as for you)

The Big Five #1. Continuous Communication #2. Preview and Review #3. Controversy and Debate #4. Different Strokes, Different Folks #5. Outsider Involvement

It’s Your Turn Think of a specific course, preferably one that you are planning to enhance. List 2-3 “activities-assignments” that you are currently using that reinforce the concept of “continuous communication,” then of “repetition”, then of... Think about non-technological activities as well as computer based activities! Write down the activities. This is important ! Continuous Preview & Involve Controversy Different Communication Review Outsiders Debate Strokes

The Low Hanging Six  & Listservs  URL addresses (in syllabus)  Annotations within word processed documents  Powerpoint “lecture outlines”  Mini-movies that show successive computer screens  Course Management System (CourseInfo)
