Find Elements to Use in a BHW or BHTLM, etc.

For not-entirely-beginners, the TLT Group supports finding and assembling (rather than 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 adapt, create and publish all the resources that will be used when preparing for, running, and following-up a Brief Hybrid Workshop.
 

Why Begin Finding and 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 not-quite-first work with BHWs by first finding and then assembling elements from various collections.  [NOTE:  We hope librarians will help with this part of developing BHWs, BHTLMs, etc.]

How?

A.  Identify (and select from) collections of:

  • eCLIPS

  • Interactivities

  • Feedback

  • Other Resources

  • Personalization

  • Usage restrictions, permissions, acknowledgment of sources

B.  Discuss, select, plan.

C.  Copy, rename, and share as collaborators Google Doc template (Work in Progress -  revised 4/30/2008)

D.  Insert an annotated link in each category.

E.  Add your own:  Title, Audience, Purpose, and Plan.

 

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
