Needs Assessment and Analysis
Pressure to use new technologies• Administration• Students• Research results
“C’mon, c’mon -- it’s either one or the other.”
![Page 5: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Pressure from Administration
By the Year 2005...
The university of Alberta will incorporate a learner-centred instructional model which integrates multi-media and technology-based delivery methods with traditional classroom instruction to serve students who are locally, regionally, nationally and globally based. This model will feature a variety of opportunities for lifelong learning.
Report of the senate task force on technology and learning, September, 1995 (http://www.ualberta.Ca/~senate/exec_summary.Html)

Pressure From Students
What do students want?• Lecture notes• Course schedule• Syllabus• Practice quizzes• Study guide• E-mail to instructor
Less important• Interactive modules, links, discussion, e-mail to
students

Research on Teaching and Learning
Well prepared lectures are associated with better lecture notes
Simulations and demonstration lead to better comprehension of the associated concepts than verbal and/or pictorial descriptions
Online course components don’t hurt and can help
![Page 8: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Finding and/or Developing Content
MUST align pedagogical goals with functions of the technology• e.g., overheads are immediately updateable and
allow for spontaneity Search for content before developing content
• Repositories• Text book publishers• Teaching journals• Web• Colleagues
![Page 9: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Developing Content
Get help• Pedagogical • Technological• Evaluation and Instructional Design
Grossly overestimate the time it will take to develop content
Develop a research component
![Page 10: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Implementation
Be prepared for anything• Technology• Personal response
Be open with the class• Rationalize innovation• Request feedback• Humor helps
Be firm with implementation strategy
![Page 11: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Evaluation
Need for formative as well as summative evaluation
Student course evaluations Faculty Evaluation Committee
![Page 12: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Formative and Summative Evaluation
Consult with Evaluation Group Get ethics approval Mid-course evaluation(s) Focus group feedback Summative questions along with (or after)
course evaluation Consider peer consultation
![Page 13: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Student Course Evaluations
Innovation associated with lower than normal course evaluations
Prepare students for the innovation• Rationale• Reinforcement• Be gracious under fire
Develop multifaceted course evaluation procedures with Chair
![Page 14: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Faculty Evaluation Committee
Must have Chair support Good idea to have tenure as well Follow through on research component of
any development project Prepare a dossier with specific emphasis on
innovation Don’t overemphasize your innovation
![Page 15: Putting It All Together: An Instructor’s Perspective on Designing, Developing, Implementing, and Evaluating Instructional Technology Connie K. Varnhagen.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649d255503460f949fbe9a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Continued Innovation
Once an innovator, always an innovator Share your experiences
• With colleagues• At University presentations• At teaching conferences• Through publications
