Innovation & Online Tutoring: Strategic Choices ACTLA, San Diego April 2018 Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Session Objectives Concrete examples of how various innovations (i.e. augmented reality, audio, video & group engagement tools) can be deployed within an online tutoring context Framework for investigating how those technologies can influence student learning and engagement Understanding how tools may have a distinctive impact on the phenomenon of online tutoring Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Agenda Practical overview of various technologies that can enhance online tutorials Insights into theoretical underpinnings and principles that may help in choosing certain technologies Suggested empirical framework for investigating the impact of such technology on student learning Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Overview of Innovations in Online Tutoring Contexts Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
When was your very first email? Where were you? What was it about? When did you start using email for education-related purposes? What was the first app you ever loaded on your phone? What was the first app you used for education purposes? Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Evolution of Online Tutoring Communication & Content Sharing Early Days In the 90s Synchronous Asynchronous Open University UK Purdue s OWL First Online Tutoring Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Current State: Dynamic, Multi-Level Exchange Group tutoring Video Voice Mobile applications Screen, Photo, & Document sharing Simultaneous use of multiple modalities using various tools Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Rapid Advances & Possibilities Artificial Intelligence Virtual Reality Augmented Reality Mixed Reality Possible Online tutoring or coaching scenarios Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Microsoft HoloLens: Skype Educational, instructional, and social moments are more effective when you can show rather than tell. Skype for HoloLens lets your contacts see what you see, hear what you hear, and draw on their screens to place holograms over physical objects in your view. Get an idea of how holograms can help people communicate in new ways. Get the Development Edition: http://bit.ly/24wpO8i.
What technologies have you used for online tutoring? What has your experience been with them? How have students responded? How do you choose which innovation(s) to use? Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Principles & Practice Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Research Basis A large and growing knowledge regarding online learning more generally. However, little theoretical or empirical research on the phenomenon of online tutoring. Lots of anecdotal trial and error Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Principles to Drive Practice Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
What factors most influence your own contexts? Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Framework for Investigating Student Learning and Online Tutoring Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Small Group Exploration Identify a new technology you d like to implement for online tutoring What questions would you have about the technology & student learning? What steps would you take to study the impact? How would you want to analyze & share your findings? Worksheet Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
Framework Ehmann, Tearnan, Bush (c) 2018
