The document discusses the integration of technology in classroom training to improve learning engagement and retention, detailing two case studies that address challenges in regulated industries. It highlights strategies for increasing interactivity, utilizing cloud-based documents, and leveraging innovations like xAPI for learning records. The overall objective is to enhance training delivery while minimizing administrative burdens and improving learner satisfaction.
Technology Integration in the Classroom - A case study in learning engagement and retention
- 1. Technology Integration In The Classroom A Case Study in Learning Engagement & Retention
- 2. Objectives Upon completion of this session, you will be able to: •Dispel common concerns around technical training assessment. •Repurpose existing learning resources for extended use in the organization. •Identify methods to drive engagement in the classroom. •List reporting and analytics critical for compliance management and continuous improvement. •Outline considerations for systems integration projects. •Overcome obstacles to training delivery and management.
- 3. What drives us Challenge •What causes you pain? •Where can you improve? Dream •Escape the status quo •Visualize the ideal Execute •Assess your tools •Establish a path Assess •Implement, Evaluate & Adjust •Uncover New Opportunities
- 4. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity Challenge – Highly regulated industry with a distributed work force delivering technical training. •Backlash from web-based training •Criticism of instructor-led training •Critical documentation needs •Inefficient testing processes
- 5. Are any of these challenges you face in training? A.Backlash from web-based training B.Criticism of instructor-led training C.Critical documentation needs D.Inefficient testing processes E.None, we have all these problems licked! 20% 20% 20% 20% 20%
- 6. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity What could be better? •Increased interactivity •Streamlined Testing •Immediate Feedback •Robust Documentation What if ??? What works now? What tools are in my toolbox? •Online Testing & Item Analysis •Online Evaluations •Audience Response for ILT
- 7. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity Instructor/Designer develops a “Course Package” that includes a PowerPoint enhanced with Audience Response System containing embedded questions. •Attendance •Pretest •Post Test •Evaluation Course Package imports into LMS to manage scheduling.
- 8. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity On class day… •Roster Export •Material Delivery •Testing •Evaluation All data synchronized with LMS to minimize administrative burden and provide reporting.
- 9. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity Advantages •Increased Interaction & Satisfaction 67% retention vs 48% retention after 30 days 87% of learners report material more engaging 73% of learner report that learning was enhanced 67% of learners felt encouraged to be part of the right answer* •Completion Reporting •Natural Vehicle for Retakes •Immediate Feedback & Remediation * See Statistics & Sources document
- 10. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity Advantages •Longitudinal Assessment Data •Full Item Analysis of Question Bank
- 11. Case Study 1 – ILT Interactivity Item Analysis – Detail
- 12. Are these advantages that would make your life easier as an L&D professional? A.Yes B.No C.No, but I can think of other benefits 33% 33% 33% 10
- 13. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Challenge – Highly regulated industry with large workshop format courses and highly sensitive/secure data. •Cost of Production/Reproduction •Uncontrolled Documents •Lack of Constructive Feedback/Sharing •Security Concerns with USB Content •Need for Students to “Mark Up” documents •Lack of feedback for Designers/Developers
- 14. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Solution •Documents in the cloud •Students would have no direct access •Leverage xAPI to store annotations in the cloud •Allows annotations to be created in classroom, retrieved on student’s desktop or tablet. •Annotations stored in the cloud •Both browser and iPad version •LRS would provide reporting
- 15. How many of you are familiar with xAPI? A.Never heard of it B.I know it only as mysterious jargon C.I understand the concept but struggle to see value D.I am currently leveraging in my L&D efforts 25% 25% 25% 25% 10
- 16. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Quick Tangent – What is xAPI •Common names: Experience API TinCan API •eLearning specification for content to write ‘learning experiences” to an LRS without the constraints of a browser
- 17. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Quick Tangent – What is xAPI •Learning Records Store – a structured log of activity May existing within an LMS or Independently •Actor – Verb – Object syntax Duncan Read ArticleX Duncan Posted “Statement” to Class Group •Allows access to pull/query data from endpoint •Provides potential portability The Personal Learning Locker
- 18. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Solution •LMS stores documents and provides credentialing •Mobile & Browser applications writes xAPI statements to LRS.
- 19. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Solution
- 20. Case Study 2 – Materials Management Advantages •Document Control •Device Independent Portability •Rich Analytics – If you can imagine it…
