Task 3: Teach, Practice, & Feedback (25 points)

Assignment

Construct a tutorial that teaches a skill or concept and provides opportunities for practice with feedback to the learner.

Suggested Strategy

AS A TEACHER/TRAINER

  1. First, choose the skill or concept you want to teach. The skill does not have to be complex. It may be as simple as adding two digit numbers to one digit numbers.
  2. Now that you have the skill or concept, create a lesson plan using this template. Be sure to explain well the procedures that the students will be doing prior to going to the computer, while using the computer and after using the computer. In this case, it's okay if there's not a "prior" or "after." You decide.
  3. Now, decide how you will give the learner an opportunity to practice the skills or concept. This can be in the form of a practice test or a review.
  4. Then use the Multimedia Planning sheet to brainstorm any ideas, resources such as sounds that you would like to include. Think what kinds of practice you will provide. Think what kinds of feedback you're going to give.
  5. Design your storyboards. Figure out how to divide the concept or skill into an appropriate number of slides. If you feel it's necessary, after you teach the concept, provide a review slide. You will need to add extra slides for the feedback. Create good storyboards with all the correct elements. Don't forget about navigation and any directions to the user.
  6. Have a peer evaluate your slides using the Field Evaluation Report. Make sure they are critical and pretend they are not in this class.
  7. Now, move to the computer to begin development in PowerPoint. Save often.
  8. After development, have a peer evaluate your slides using the Field Evaluation Report.
  9. Make revisions as necessary.
  10. Complete the reflection sheet.
  11. Upload your files to the "Task 3 " folder on my UMDrive. Make sure each file begins with your last name in the filename. For example "Smith_reflection.doc", "Smith_slides.ppt", "Smith_lessonplan.doc".
  12. Bring your multimedia planning sheet, storyboards, and both field evaluation reports to class to turn in.
