Internal Processes & Corresponding
Instructional Events
Internal Process Instructional Event Action Example
Reception Expectancy Gain attention Abrupt stimulus change
Retrieval to working memory Stimulate recall of prior learning Ask for recall of previously learned
knowledge or skills
Selective perception Present stimulus Display content with distinctive
features in cafe
Semantic encoding Provide learning guidance Scaffolding in content and café
Responding Elicit performance Ask learner to perform
Reinforcement Provide feedback Give informative feedback
Retrieval & reinforcement Assess performance Require additional learner
performance w/feedback
Retrieval & generalization Enhance retention & transfer Varied practice & spaced reviews
(café participation)

Editor's Notes

  • #8 Starting point: ANALYZE these are concerns from classroom and from online 1. Dynamic perspective: keeping in mind that this can continue to evolve – get a starting version out there and continue to improve and expand in response to course and student data – this changes how we approach design and development 2. Student engagement (see next slides) 3. Higher order thinking: Historical challenge with languages of getting beyond drill & kill (see subsequent slide) 4. Considerations for potential blended course in the future Peer-to-peer interaction in cafe Creating synchronous interactions using web conferencing & using Camtasia Relay to enhance audio Using campus resources of native speakers to create models
  • #10 Add on to deficient approaches Example: continuing to lecture but adding an optional discussion board interactions/assignments without follow-up Example: complete this assignment and submit it online but no live discussion/feedback or significantly delayed feedback Transformative process that improves the quality of the educational experience Example: redesign deficient approaches or replace them completely with effective approaches Capitalize on the potential of technology for engagement Include immediate/live-feed interactions and feedback to help students progress more successfully
  • #11 When to incorporate F2F or online learning? Things to consider when designing learning activities in blended environment. Few definitive studies re how to blend synchronous and asynchronous. This is what we are reasonably sure of. This influenced, however, by discipline, level of instruction and contextual constraints. Note Katrina Meyer’s research. Examples: F2F better to get started and organized F2F is can generate energy, motivation Online better to discuss, resolve more complex tasks and abstract ideas Online provides sustained engagement, convenience
  • #13 Fostering situated learning (Lave & Wenger) Creating a course community Forum for connection (discussion board, live lessons, café) mixed levels do not impede learning in café but enhance it: Newcomers learn from old timers Mastery of skills/proficiency is evident as learners progress from newcomer to old timer
  • #14 Explains student responsibilities and ways in which they will communicate Interpersonal, interpretive, and presentational
  • #15 Low stakes environment to practice and prepare for graded interactions – a type of formative assessment Elicits performance, feedback, and evaluation, often deficient in classroom setting Implementing Vygotsky: Café students in the zone of proximal development (difference between what a student can do with no help and what they can do with help) – this is an environment where they synthesize and achieve creative output, based on scaffolds and TA/peer support to encourage going beyond their tacit knowledge
  • #16 Graded one-on-one interactions with two parts. Rubric helps students know exactly what to expect. In future iteration: plan to include video models from past students.
  • #17 Accountability, preparing students for on-going practice & retrieval (gagne)
  • #18 Correlating course model to Gagne’s events and internal processes
  • #19 Students in other language courses have cited café helping increase motivation to speak; enjoy cooperative learning experience Able to get personalized instruction in speaking appointments and live lessons Flexibility to do it at their own pace and work on material any time of day Ability to revisit material over and over, as often as they wish, whenever they wish
  • #20 Students in other language courses have cited café helping increase motivation to speak; enjoy cooperative learning experience Able to get personalized instruction in speaking appointments and live lessons Flexibility to do it at their own pace and work on material any time of day Ability to revisit material over and over, as often as they wish, whenever they wish
