// Below please find our evolving set of guiding questions related to the Assessment Case Study; // //The items listed in RED are the Headings / Sections dierctly taken from the Assessment Task and MUST be included within the Case Study Assignment;//

**Case Study Summary and Context ** (MOSTLY AN INTRODUCTION) OVERVIEW..(Write this last) What is the context of the Blended Learning Case Study? Content or Subject Matter, What is the business about? And how this relates to being advantageous for the business (alignment with vision, business strategy) Training situation about? Strategy? Students? Benefits? Media Use?

**Objectives of implementing eLearning / Blended learning within the Case Study ** What are the objectives of YOUR approach in relation to taking on eLearning? What do you hope to acheive? Define the need for, and the general aim or purpose of, the course/subject/lecture. This is the overall goal or rationale for the course. What are the eLearning benefits, (e.g.: flexibility in time, space, pace)

EG: The objectives of incorporating eLearning within this case study are;

**Description of Student Cohort ** What are they like? Why are they taking your course? How do they learn? (Maybe a Learning Styles activity) What do they already know about the course? Possible streaming of the students to align course wityh level of previous knowledge Student motivation in taking the course What is the context of their learning? (In Class, mostly online, blended?) What is their access and familiarity to technology? What is the time they have available for their studies? (Numer of lessons, rough time for each lesson and expected time to be spent on outside of F2F time on activities) What is their spoken Language, Background, Age?

**Student Learning Outcomes ** Must be written from a student perspective Measureable, Observable, Behaviorally based EG: Students at the end of this **course** should; Students at the end of this **lesson** should; 2 SETS, 1 set of LO (Learning Outcomes BROADLY describing the outcomes of the course) 1 set of X learning outcomes for each lesson (SPECIFIC to each LESSON) What skills, knowledge and attitudes are you trying to develop? Remember to incorporate Outcomes across the levels of Blooms Taxonomy (depending on your context and content) Depending on the context there should be some alignment with the BUSSINESS setting / mission, goals and the LO Maybe some flexibility to adopt learning Outcomes to student previous knowledge

**eLearning / Blended Learning __Theory__ or __Approach / Teaching Strategy__ Used ** Describe the approach used, related theory / teaching activity. What will happen BEFORE class? DURING class OR AFTER class? How you promote; TEACHER to STUDENT interaction? STUDENT to STUDENT interaction? STUDENT to CONTENT interaction? How will you structure the content of your learning material? -> Grouping of related outcomes and activities; sequencing, presentation, and reinforcement of the content. What resources (ie MEDIA) and strategies will you use in your instruction? -> Teaching resources and activities chosen to complement the learning outcomes. OAT's Approach

One possible format to present this information maybe; List the Course Outcomes, Describe the Context, Indicate the Students being taught

__Lesson 1 - (Repeat for each lesson)__ a) Learning Outcomes - __O__  b) Learning Content + lvl of difficulty c) Media / technology used - __T__ d) Process / approach - what will happen BEFORE, DURING, AFTER class? - __A__ e) Benefits of this approach f) Assessment (Formative OR Summative)

** The Teaching and Learning Benefits of using this approach ** What are the Teaching (Teacher) benefits or incorporating eLearning / Blended Learning? (Refer to Module 3&4 booklet) What are the Learning (Student) benefits or incorporating eLearning / Blended Learning? (Refer to Module 3&4 booklet) Why is the MEDIA used appropriate and in what ways is it beneficial? How does this approach ALIGN with the Learning Outcomes? How does this approach suit the particular student cohort?

**Challenges ** Pros and Cons of the Approach used in the course? Media, Content, Students, Previous Knowledge? Timing of feedback? Technical Support needed? Attitudinal Support needed? AND HOW you address each challenge?

**Cost / Resources Used ** Manpower (No of teachers req, support staff..etc) Number of Weeks / lessons in the course, Time or Money involved, (best guess) Media used, Research you've done in relation to your context + eLearning





**Evaluation / Assessment Strategy Used ** **Assessment** of the achievement of the Learning Outcomes (PRODUCT) How will you assess the learners’ understanding and whether or not they have met the outcomes of the instruction? -> Agreement between what the intended outcomes are and what is being measured by the assessment Evaluation of the process of teaching the course (PROCESS)

**Conclusion ** (MOSTLY AN EVALUATION) Summary of the above drawing together KEY points about the; CONTEXT, eLearning / Blended Learning approach used, Benefits, Challenges, Assessment and Evaluation?

**References ** Your Bibliography, APA Style Resources used, Websites found to be useful and relate to your context
