Transcript of Asessing digital
Assessing and Selecting Digital Educational Resources
Lic. Mariana Porta
Objectives:
Provide a set of criteria to evaluate digital resources.
Walk one more step into teacher-empowerment to face the digital world.
Digital Resources
Applications: tools to be used with the content we decide
Contents we select from the web to integrate to our class
Software that has been developed for the specific purpose of teaching
2. Choices available?
4. Making a choice
5. Implmentation stage
3. Evaluating possible digital resources
1. What is the model? Course design
A process
Dimensions
Context of implementation
Technical dimension
Pedagogical dimension:
Specific pedagogical needs
Theory of learning and teaching behind
Teacher's role
Evaluation and scoring systems
4. Interactivity
5. Ideological dimension
6. Design
Context of implementation
What is the model implemented?
Why a digital resource, why a specific teaching software?
How will the teacher work?
Who is the course directed to?
A process that involves different know hows
You need an ACADEMIC decision here
You need a technical decision here
You need a budget here
Technical dimension
What kind of licence does it have?
How is it distributed and supported?
What kind of equipment does it require?
Is the programming good?
How much is it?
Institutions are generally the ones that have to evaluate this.Availability
Money
Logistics
Pedagogical dimension (1)
What is the theory of learning and teaching behind this software?
What are our pedagogical needs before selecting the resource?
Pedagogical dimension (2)
The theory of learning behindThe role of the teacher
Teacher- student interaction
Student-student interaction
Degree of autonomy of the student
Evaluation and rubrics
Pedagogical support to the teacher, guides, suggestions, etc.
Pedagogical dimension (3)
The theory of language behind
Text structure
Hipertexts and multimedia
Interactivity (1)
a) user-content
Interface and navigation
How is information accessed?
What are the menu options?
What are the possible paths through the material?
What is the digree of freedom allowed to the user?
Can it be customized by the user?
Interactivity (2)
b) student-studentIs there room for student-student interaction?
Is there room for collaborative work?
Interactivity (3)
student-teacherHow do student and teacher get in touch?
Is there a system to keep track of feedback?
Assessment and evaluation? Gradebook, reports, etc.
Design
Does it look good?
Screens: are they easy to read? Consider font, size, colors, graphics.
Sound quality: Is it good, natural?
Does it adapt to students?
Can it be customized?
How is the visual component integrated?
To reflect ...
Ideological dimension
The hidden curriculum
Cultural stereotypes about work, family, authority, gender, etc.
How the world is represented
What are the milestones at each of these stages?
Design a course
Survey the market
Go through evaluation process
Make a choice and elaborate a report on the software you have chosen. Point out drawbacks and highlights.
Develop a plan for implementation
Train your staff in the use of this software
Implement.
Evaluate results
We'll focus on software developed for teaching purposes

6. Ideological dimension
Conclusions
In my humble opinion ...Beware of the market!
We need to make informed decisions about software for teaching.
We have to know what we need.
We should learn, so some day we can develop our own digital resources.
