"Some Assembly Required" - A Few Good Options
Google Doc
Web Page
For beginners, the TLT Group supports assembling
(rather than finding, adapting, designing, producing) some
of the essential
elements for a Brief Hybrid Workshop. These elements
include eCLIPS, "interactivities," feedback,
personalization, usage restrictions, permissions, and
acknowledgment of sources. However, we expect even
beginners to provide their own titles and descriptions of
audience, purpose and plan. (In the more
advanced sections of our BHW Workshops and related
resources, we also help people learn how to find, adapt, create
and publish all the resources that will be used when
preparing for, running, and following-up a Brief Hybrid
Workshop.)
Why Begin Assembling?
There is rapidly growing overabundance of
collections, sources, and tools (search, production,
editing, etc.) for each of the elements of a Brief Hybrid
Workshop. There are already too many good
tools for producing them from scratch, for finding useful
contributions made by others, for adapting/editing them, and
for publishing them. For those beginning
to learn how to develop and use BHWs, it can be daunting to
try to learn even a few of all the different options for
finding and producing the elements. So we encourage
participants to begin their work with BHWs by first
assembling elements from short lists of exemplary and varied
resources that we have pre-selected.

Rationale/Context
Small Steps, Training Wheels, A Few Good Options:
Some Assembly Required, DIY
-
Why Small Steps, BHWs?
-
Why now? (More needed, more feasible)
-
Depend on judgment and commitment of individuals
(faculty members, academic support professionals,
students)
Training Wheels (A Few Good Options) & Big Picture
Why Training Wheels?
Why A Few Good Options
Why get the big picture first?
Because the big picture is transferable!
Sequence
-
Get a sample, think about the elements and options, then
get the big picture.
-
See one, do one, teach one
-
See one, do one, adapt/improve one, assemble one, run
one, develop one
