beyond walls: moving from in-person to online instruction to teach evaluation skills
1 like430 views
1) Dominique Turnbow and Talitha Matlin created an online tutorial to teach students how to evaluate health websites after previously providing in-person workshops. 2) The tutorial was designed using Articulate Presenter and included practice activities and assessments to evaluate student learning. 3) Based on student assessments, 95% could recall evaluation criteria and 75% could create search strategies, and students found the interactive activities and examples helpful for learning. 4) Future improvements could include adding more examples, practice exercises throughout, and audio/video to accommodate different learning styles.

Future ImprovementsIncorporate “practice exercises” and formative assessment if possible e.g. “Practice exercises” at the end of any section in the Bioengineering 1 tutorialAdd audio narration and videos of search strategies to accommodate additional learning stylese.g. “movies” in Sections 3 and 4 of the Bioengineering 1 tutorialAdd more examples, including “non-examples”Turnbow & MatlinMLGSCA Technology Symposium, March 6, 2009
