Use PowerPoint slides for lectures? Web
pages? some other form of presentation material shown on
screen? This ARQ module should help you ask questions
of students that can show you how to improve your
presentations. The focus of this module is not on the
content of lectures, per se -- it's not about how to test
student learning. Instead, it's about feedback to help
assure that students really can see, hear, and think about
what you're presenting.
Preparation by facilitator:
-
Read
this brief chapter of the Flashlight Evaluation
Handbook, create your own survey, and, if at all
possible, use it in a course.
-
Make copies of the
Flashlight presentation item bank as a handout, or
arrange for at least half the participants to have
computers with Internet connections and Flashlight
Online accounts so that they can try out the item bank
during the workshop.

Suggested opening: "In this brief
workshop, let's talk about factors that could keep some,
or all, students in your course from getting the most
from your computer displays during a lecture. Let's
assume for this workshop that the content itself is fine
- the ideas are powerful and clearly expressed. What
else could get in the way?"
-
Distribute the handout. "Any of
these issues a possible problem for any of your
students? Do these give you ideas about other such
barriers?"
-
"What do you think so far? Is this
something you'd use? not use? Why or why not?"
-
"How many of you have experience with an
online survey system? use Flashlight Online? If
you'd like, we can look at an online demonstration of
how to use this item bank with Flashlight Online to
create a survey in just a few minutes."(Click
here for a demonstration of how to use this template
in Flashlight Online 1.0.)
[Alternative: show
this web page on how to use Flashlight Online, or
give this as a second handout.]
[If you'd like to keep workshops extremely short, this
could be a second workshop, just for people who'd like
to see how to use Flashlight Online for this purpose.]
-
Feedback on the workshop: Here's a
general purpose eClip we've created on YouTube, with
some suggestions for
how
to gather feedback during and after a workshop such as
this one.
