Guidelines for the presentations

A review panel of faculty who have taught a summer or winter ADP course twice will hear the presentation, which is open to the campus and will be videotaped. Past presentations are also available for review on the Teaching and Learning section of UMBC's free iTunesU site, which will also be coming to YouTube soon

It is important to understand there are TWO distinct parts to your presentation requirement:

1) creating the learning object others can review online in advance of your presentation; and
2) giving a presentation about the learning object on a specific date & time.

Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

• The learning object should specifically address the pedagogical problems (or implications) a hybrid or online course solves (or creates). 
• So others can view it, you must post your learning object on the companion Hybrid Course Design “Practice” site, to which all users have instructor access upon request.
• The presentation must include a peer AND student review to gauge the learning object’s potential effectiveness. 
• Required presentation outline:

1. A brief statement (1 minute) of the pedagogical problem or current benefit you are trying to solve or extend in moving from F2F to hybrid delivery;
2. A brief description (1 minute) of how the proposed assignment or activity does so;
3. A summary (1 minute) of feedback from one peer AND one student after you showed them the deliverable you described in #2;
4. Next steps you will take to address issues or opportunities raised in #3 (2 minutes);
5. Brief Q & A (5 minutes).

Note: DoIT strongly recommends that you give this 1st presentation in person and stay for the duration. If you can't, consider dropping out and join another cohort when you can.

11. Present a 2nd learning object, module, assignment, activity or exercise that you plan to use in your course (10 minutes), noon-1:30 p.m. ENG 023 on the date determined by the second doodle poll.

    Note: You will be using the same format described for deliverable #1 above

The Following Semester
