2021/12/20

We have a responsibility to not only help our students understand the content of our disciplines but also help them start their careers. This means they should have a profile, should start developing a network, and learn how to participate as a professional through their profile and as members of a community. Not only can you help students set up powerful LinkedIn profiles, you can use LinkedIn as a teaching and learning platform. This week, I am going to highlight getting started with LinkedIn as

ITC: 146 - Using ADDIE to Design Your Courses

In the Classroom with Stan Skrabut ·

2021/12/06

As I break down the 5 steps of ADDIE, I will focus on how it can be used in the classroom. The five steps of the ADDIE model are: ● Analysis ● Design ● Development ● Implementation ● Evaluation The use of ADDIE means that you are taking a deliberate approach to designing your course. Everything has a purpose and is interconnected. The ADDIE method is applicable regardless of course modality. This week, I am going to explain each of the ADDIE steps and provide ideas for using ADDIE to design your

ITC: 145 - How to "Win" at NaNoWriMo

In the Classroom with Stan Skrabut ·

2021/11/29

During two previous attempts at NaNoWriMo or the National Novel Writing Month, I failed to hit the 50,000 word mark while working on just one project. So I had to try something different. I recognized that I could not find enough time to craft the words by hand. This year I switched to dictation and that made all the difference. This week, I am going to share tips for successfully getting through a time consuming project like NaNoWriMo. Come learn more. Join me on Facebook:

2021/11/22

My inspiration for this episode comes from a wonderful Spanish professor named Theresa Baginski. She developed a series of study guides for her college-level Spanish classes. A good study guide not only guides students through assigned readings, lectures, presentations, videos, handouts, etc., it also ties together goals and objectives, essential questions, key vocabulary and concepts, and formative activities. This week, I am going to share tips for creating effective study guides to support

ITC: 143 - Using Guided Notes in the Classroom

2021/11/15

One tool that can turn a lecture from a passive activity to an active one is guided notes also known as skeleton notes. Guided notes can also be used for grasping the essential content from videos and reading assignments. According to William L. Heward, a professor at the Ohio State University, Guided Notes are “Guided notes are instructor-prepared handouts that provide all students with background information and standard cues with specific spaces to write key facts, concepts, and/or relationships

2021/11/08

With a lot less effort than starting from scratch, you can extract multiple learning assets out of a single piece of core content. For example, you can take a video file and extract an audio file and transcript that can create value for your students. You can then use these different parts to enhance LMS content pages or create OER content. It is a strategy that I have used with a tremendous amount of success. This podcast has been repurposed into many different assets from blog posts to videos

ITC: 141 - Making Your Instruction Personal

2021/11/01

This week we are going to talk about making your instruction more personal. My inspiration is coming from Ruth Colvin Clark’s book, Evidence-Based Training Methods. I am also inspired by all the entrepreneurial podcasts that I listen to. They try to make their content and ads as personal as possible. We are going to focus on the social presence in this episode. Social presence is the human element. This is where students and the instructor engaged in dialog. Ideally, there should be open

I have participated in NaNoWriMo a few times. The first time resulted in my book, Read to Succeed. My last attempt has sparked progress to a book I am currently finalizing. I am hoping to have it released in the next couple of months. I am using this NaNoWriMo event as a catalyst to feed my latest book idea. NaNoWriMo is a perfect vehicle for jump-starting a writing project. I think this is a wonderful challenge for students. It is a stretch goal, but it lets them know what is possible. Students

When I was in the Air Force, I had taken courses on instructional systems design or ISD. I learned about Gagné's 9 Events of Instruction. As I was pursuing my degrees, I was exposed to ADDIE, which is a waterfall design method. Along the way, I also learned about agile programming and its underlying methodology. During my exploration, I learned how to apply agile programming to instructional design. I was not the only one seeing the connection. Dr. Michael Allen developed a more rapid design

An ARS can automatically collect and report out student responses in a classroom. You can use them to test student opinions as well as test their knowledge on a subject. They can be used throughout a class period. Instructors can use an ARS in face-to-face classes and in some cases, depending on the system, in online courses. This week, we are going to take a closer look at why you would want to use an audience response system as well as some options. Additionally, we will discuss question

The first time I had heard about Digital Powerups was while listening to episode 295 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast. Bonnie Stachowiak was interviewing Travis Thurston, the Assistant Director of Empowering Teaching Excellence. I immediately knew I needed to share this with you. Basically, students and the instructor use hashtags based on Bloom’s Taxonomy to code different aspects of their online discussion posts.

2021/09/13

Throughout this podcast, I have referenced active learning but I have never really explained myself. The concept of active learning has been around since the 1860s. I suspect that it is not used in classrooms more is because it is not convenient for instructors. It is much easier to just spew out information as though students were sponges. But research has demonstrated over and over again that this is not the best way to learn. We tend to learn best when confronted with opportunities to work with

2021/09/06

What is Quest-based Learning? According to Chris Haskell, “Quest-based learning is an instructional design theory of game-based learning that focuses on student activity choice within the curriculum.” The key to this is that the learning design takes its cue from game design. Some of the elements that I find important to quest-based learning include: Choice of assignment Multiple pathways Multiple attempts Additive grading This week, we are going to take a closer look at quest-based learning to

Over the years, I have sat in countless presentations. Many of them are extremely boring; however, some of the most fun, informative, and engaging presentations have adhered to the Pecha Kucha rules. The campus where I work is about to launch a writing, math, and presentation center for our students. I have been tossing around the idea of using Pecha Kucha as a way to draw students to the center as well as holding fun informative contests. According to Wikipedia, Pecha Kucha is Japanese for

In this episode, we will examine 12 strategies that are easy to implement and will increase engagement and interest in your course. While there is a need to be consistent in your course design, you will want to offer different types of assignments as well as vary your communication methods.

While I was a cadet candidate at the United States Air Force Academy Preparatory School, I was subjected to the Thayer Method of Instruction. With this method, students are able to recognize problems, think logically, define solutions using resources they possess and those they can acquire, and finally, they are able to communicate clearly and logically. It is definitely learner-centric as students are responsible for their own learning. This week, we are going to take a closer look at the Thayer

I have been using Diigo since 2008 when I switched from Delicious, another social bookmarking tool. Diigo’s prime purpose is to bookmark websites and documents that you want to refer to later. I have nearly 21,000 items organized with 1,842 different tags. My primary use for Diigo when supporting a class is the curation of resources while I am researching a topic. I do this with all my research projects. In my classes, I will share a tag link rather than list countless resources. Every time I add

If our current rank and file classrooms are such a productive learning environment, why doesn’t the campus leadership team use them to conduct their meetings? Instead, they use conference rooms. Quite simply, there is power with discussion. Ideally, we are trying to create a classroom that is student-centered that has a high level of communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. Rank and file classrooms do not achieve this goal. Research has also shown that instructor behavior changes based
