The Process of Integrating Learning Resources into
Large Introductory Courses

The Challenge
To improve undergraduate education by integrating quality cross-discipline and course-specific Learning Objects (LOs) into large introductory courses
![Page 3: Tanya Breault & Nancy Kerner University of Michigan The Process of Integrating Learning Resources into Large Introductory Courses.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649e9f5503460f94ba19a7/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Expertise as User of Technology Ratings

• Involve and disseminate to relevant faculty good cross-discipline and course-specific LO collections for undergraduate course integration.
The trainee becomes the trainer
•Train graduate students to find, evaluate, design, and integrate quality course-specific LO collections
The Proposed Solution

Large Course Challenges
• Diverse faculty objectives and/or philosophies for a given course
• Student and TA differences with regard to background knowledge and skills
• Imperfect learning resources
• Availability of needed technology
![Page 7: Tanya Breault & Nancy Kerner University of Michigan The Process of Integrating Learning Resources into Large Introductory Courses.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051621/56649e9f5503460f94ba19a7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The LO Course Collection
• Step 1: Select learning objects that align
with topics
• Step 2: Evaluate content
• Step 3: Create LO collection

The LO Course Collection
• Step 4: Match LOs with objectives (I.e., concepts,
skills, or as needed) not just topic• Step 4: Organize within syllabus or on website to
conform with objectives
A-B-C-D Coded by Concept Easy to difficult

Cross-disciplinary LOs
• Students have different levels of academic training
• Success in any course demands a solid foundation in a variety of basic academic skills
What does slope of the line mean?

Collection Individual LO
• Identify goal of inclusion– Clarify muddy points?– Prepare students for …? – Practice set of skills?
“Will this LO enhance student skills or understanding of …?”

Individual LO Inclusion
• What are the cognitive demands?
• Based on Bloom’s taxonomy where may the LO be used within the course?

Integrating the Imperfect LO
• Many excellent LOs have a flaw (lack of directions…) poor as a standalone resource.
LOBy “packaging” the resource, instructor can guide students’
interaction with the imperfect LO.
• How can an imperfect LO be incorporated into a class?
