ICT Maths Partnering with Other Teams.

A Proposal

25 Weeks ...– ...Doing What? Exposing partners to TfT Model. Supporting them to make use of ICT tools

and implement the model. Colleagues need ICT basics or equivalent

skills.

Outputs of the partnership Global objectives, learning activities and

outcomes for one course. A Moodle site for the institution.

A Course template and Course logo. A Course Outline, 2 lectures, MCQ bank. One On-line Test.

(

The Concept

NOT to produce digital materials for an entire course- a lesson learnt from ICT Math and DI.

Rather, Produce with HANDS ON support, 2 lectures and associated PPT or other teaching resources.

A gradual INDEPENDENT digitisation of more course materials, until the ENTIRE course is developed.

Advantages of this approach Realistic and achievable with ease. Confirms and stimulates commitment of

partner. Impact assessment can be made using

experience with topics treated using the technology and other topics taught in traditional way using the same set of students.

Activity 1- A Day at FNS Interactive Lab. 4 Presentations on sensitisation and

publicity; demo class-teaching with technology.

Thereafter partner team starts digitisation of notes for 1 course, prepares a general overview and structures the notes in modules.

Each team -a Min. of 3 members. Max of 12 participants supported at a time.

Activity 2-Critical Success Factors. On proposal writing, the need for committed

participants, strong institutional support, openness and sharing, critiques, transparency, and impact assessment.

Presentation to decision makers. (Principal Officers, Deans and Directors-in an internal arrangement- Dean, some HODs and some Professors).

Activity 3- For Team and Techies. Training on Moodle. Workshop on “the e-learning project models”. Outputs to include a Moodle site for partner

institution . Guideline for techies to produce templates for

partnership.

Activity 4-2 Weeks intensive On-line pedagogical training by consultant. Exposure to and experience with blended e-

learning. One month of interaction and exchanges with

consultant will follow the intensive on line training.

ICT Math Team will participate in the training and exchanges to stimulate better participation.

Activity 5- On objectives, outcomes and activities. Team to bring: Syllabus and course content for 1 course with

learning objectives and outcomes+main introduction for the course.

Digitised lecture notes for 2 lectures, complete with learning objectives and outcomes.

PPT presentation for 1 lecture.

Activity 6-2 Days on Moodle+Other Interactive Tools. More Moodle for team and techies Participants come with laptops/jump drives, 1

digitised lecture and MCQs. 1-Day hands-on with UP, CP, Camtasia and

Screencast-Uploading and Annotating. Participants go back with lecture on Moodle and

assignment to independently prepare and upload resources for 2nd lecture at their institution.

Activity 7-Fine Tuning

On- site review of problems with uploading of second lecture and other resources.

Team provides support to conclude the production at partner institution.

A follow up technical workshop to address shortcomings if any of institutional techies.

A mini workshop on Moodle help resources.

Activity 8-25 Weeks are Over! Conclude all Unfinished business. All untidy matters treated. Introduction to Community of Practice.
