2. WHAT DO I DO?
“Assists in the development of interactive
learning objects and supplemental materials
that contribute to attainment of learning
objectives.”
3. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
I work with faculty and staff to make better
lessons for their classrooms
YOU have the information – I help you share it
as clearly as possible
4. ATTAINING LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
Each course has goals
The materials we create together will be
designed with those goals in mind
We we continuous measure how well these
materials support these goals
5. EXAMPLE
Goals for ENGL:1200:Interpretation of Literature
Increase literary appreciation
Increase knowledge of literature and literary studies
Improve reading comprehension
Improve literary analysis skills
Improve research skills
Improve composition skills
How can we measure these things?
That varies, but for this example:
Assess knowledge and skills before and after course
Assess how well new information is retained via quizzes and
exams
Evaluate skills through informal and formal essays and
research papers
6. We start with goals
You provide the information
I provide the design
We make learning more interesting and
available to people with different learning styles
and needs
7. HOW?
Large amounts of information can be hard to
digest
We will find ways that students can interact
with the material they are learning
8. HOW?
We call these resources “interactive learning
objects.” They allow students to…
Practice using new skills without the fear of failing
Demonstrate their knowledge
Have a little fun
These could be games, quizzes, simulations…
just to name a few
9. Let’s Review
Interactive learning objects allow students to…
Practice using new *skills* without the fear of
*failing*
Demonstrate their *knowledge*
Have a little *fun*
Way to go!
10. WHAT ABOUT “SUPPLEMENTAL
MATERIAL”?
I can help create
Documents that describe how to do an
assignment
Rubrics that clarify how it will be graded or
assessed
“How to” guides for skills or techniques that
students can reference
And many other materials to support learners
Once again…
11. ONCE AGAIN,
You provide the material –
I provide the design
We make learning more interesting and
available to people with different learning styles
and needs
