Hacking the Faculty: Bringing Content Discovery Into Online Course Development

Athena Hoeppner

Presentation given at Computers in Libraries, in April 2014. Original Proposal/Abstract: Discovering resources is easier than ever, yet barriers remain for faculty trying to embed quality content into online courses. Course development tools are silo-ed away from content discovery systems, so faculty must leave the Learning Management System (LMS) to seek articles and e-books, then navigate back to the LMS to paste the link. They need to know how to identify persistent URLs and how to enable off-campus access. The process is tedious and fraught with pitfalls. At the University of Central Florida, the Library and the Center for Distributed Learning collaborated to integrate content discovery and selection seamlessly into course creation. The result, dubbed Library Tool, is presented as a simple icon in the LMS on the page-creation form. Library Tool opens a simple search form which returns a results list of full text articles. Faculty can add any article to their page with a single click. The Tool leverages the Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standards and EBSCO's API, which can be easily adapted by other institutions. The presenters will demonstrate the Library Tool in action and briefly describe the development process as well as an overview of the LTI standard and the EDS API. Finally, we will share preliminary usage and faculty response and will discuss options for future developments.

A learning management system (LMS) is a software application that helps plan, implement, and assess learning. An LMS allows teachers to post assignments and lessons online for students to access anywhere, and provides tools for grading, feedback, online forums, and additional resources. While using an LMS requires initial work, it provides many benefits to students by giving them 24/7 access to materials, differentiating instruction, and facilitating collaboration. The benefits of an LMS for students outweigh any reasons teachers may be hesitant to use the technology.

This document describes the assessment elements used in a Principles of Economics module, including weekly quizzes, two online tests, a case study, and tutorial participation. The quizzes contribute to the final grade if completed within a week of the material being presented, and also give students access to lecture notes and tutorial answers. The tests include multiple choice and true/false questions covering all chapters. The author has published papers arguing that this continuous assessment scheme using an online gradebook can help induce regular revisions in students' learning process.

Workbook: Extending Active Learning in the Book Andrew James

Ireland & UK Moodlemoot 2012

The document discusses extending the capabilities of Moodle Books by adding active learning elements like questions and assessments. It proposes developing a Moodle Workbook module that would integrate question bank functionality to allow questions to be added directly within book chapters. This would provide a structured way for students to self-test their comprehension through questions embedded in the learning context. Teachers would be able to import, edit, review, grade and provide feedback on student question responses through a linked quiz available only to teachers. The document considers both developing a standalone Workbook plugin versus modifying Books to link to quizzes.
