Setting the Framework • What makes a course “high-impact”? • Meaningful, relevant content • Alignment to standards • Efficient preparation for students • Clear goals and ways to measure achievement of the goals • What is a “blended” and “flipped” classroom? • AnantAgarwal video (6:20) • Delivery options • FERPAconsiderations

  4. Developing Learning Outcomes • How do you create good learning outcomes? • Aligning to/representing standards • Appropriate for the intended audience • Clarity, measurability • Resources • Robert Mager, Preparing Instructional Objectives • Dick, Carey, and Carey, Systematic Design of Instruction • Ambrose, Bridges, DiPietro, and Lovett, How Learning Works

Open educational resources include full courses, course materials, modules, textbooks, streaming videos, tests, software, and any other tools, materials, or techniques used to support access to knowledge."  The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation

Open Educational Resources • How do you incorporate OERs effectively? • Alignment to and coverage of outcomes • Interconnection • Activating prior knowledge • Providing opportunities for application • Formative data and remediation, if needed • Ensuring students can access and use the OERs • Homework versus in-class use

  9. Sample Course Introduction to Art History
