-
Module defining
Module learning outcomes are identified at this step.
-
Ashim will decide on a course where a module might be productively developed; Come up with learning outcomes for that section if available
-
Ashim develops a modified list of *module* learning outcomes as a draft and attaches here.
-
Young revises this draft list of learning outcomes (attach here) in preparation for module development
-
-
Module building (Including module assessment questions)
In this most critical and time consuming step, we are building the simulation software, student instructions and learning outcomes for use of the simulation software, student assessment questions and instructor assessment questions for the module
-
Based on learning *module* outcomes list, Ashim develops the specification for simulation module (input and output of the simulation module)
-
Ashim develops student instructions (these are tutorials and training materials for the module use) that are consistent among modules
-
** provides feedback on student instructions, primarily to see how the instructions are consistent among modules
-
Ashim develops and validates the simulation software, including its web-based access.
-
Ashim integrates the finalized student instructions with the software
-
David (together with Ashim) develop student assessment questions.
-
David (together with Ashim) develop instructor assessment questions
-
** provides feedback on draft student and instructor assessment questions
-
Ashim implements these questions in a web-based survey and integrates with module as needed
-
-
Module setup and piloting
Here Co-PI goes through the piloting process where students of similar background tries out before implementing in class
-
Ashim (not the end user, i.e., not the undergraduate students) tries out the module and obtains feedback
-
Ashim develops a plan (how students will access, what dates, any special needs, etc.) for module implementation
-
Ashim locates and assigns pilot users (typically volunteer students)
-
Ashim obtains and attaches important feedback from piloting
-
** and Ashim reviews the piloting experience
-
Ashim makes the needed changes (based on piloting experience) in student instruction, simulation module, student assessment and instructor assessment
-
-
Module implementation and assessment
Here Ashim implements the module in a class, collects student assessment and provides instructor assessment
-
Ashim implements the module
-
Ashim collects his Student Assessment (from the survey website) and posts here
-
Ashim does the Instructor Assessment within one week of the deadline for Student Assessment above and posts here.
-
Ashim attaches here a list of changes to be made for the next year’s implementation and assessment
-
** looks over the student assessment, instructor assessment and changes from Ashim for any possible comments
-
Ashim goes over all materials and makes the changes
-
Ashim schedules a mid term conference call for everyone in the project for discussion on the first round of implementation
-
-
Module implementation and assessment for the second time
This step is pretty much the same as the previous one–its starting point is the feedback concluding the previous implementation
-
Ashim makes the changes from the previous implementation
-
Ashim implements the module for the second time.
-
Ashim collects Student Assessment (from survey website) and posts
-
Ashim does the Instructor Assessment within one week of deadline for Student Assessment and posts
-
Ashim provides a list of changes to be made for further implementation and assessment, by any instructor
-
Ashim goes over all materials and makes any changes to be made
-
-
Module implementation and assessment by collaborator Carmen
This step is same as above but is only for the Collaborator (as defined in the project)–for this module, it is a collaborator to be identified (it was not in the project). Others showing interest could get added.
-
Ashim identifies additional collaborators who are willing to implement this module
-
Collaborator implements the module. Ashim will be available for assistance
-
Collaborator collects Student Assessment (from website) and posts here
-
Collaborator does the Instructor Assessment and posts here
-
Collaborator provides a list of changes to be made for further implementation and assessment by others
-
Ashim follows up with collaborator discussing the changes to be made
-
Ashim and ** (Co-PI) will discuss any new observations
-
