| Design Step | Elements | |
| Identify desired results
(Where do we want to go?) |
Learning Goals
Specify the learning outcome and knowledge and skills that students will acquire |
Learning goal or outcome:
Students will clearly connect to the skills and techniques outlined in the course outcomes. |
| Knowledge
Students will be able to align the course outcomes with their field of study. |
||
| Skills
Students will create opportunities for practical application within the course outcomes.
|
||
| Determine acceptable evidence
(How will we know we arrived?) |
Assessment
Specify how students will demonstrate their learning |
Open Pedagogy Assignment:
Students will gather in groups of 3-4, per “outcome” as outlined in the syllabus. Students will create a 1-2 minute presentation, skit, video, slideshow, podcast… communicating the outcome to their peers and how it applies to various fields of study as well as career goals.
|
| Plan learning experiences and instruction
(What will we need to help us get there?) |
First Exposure
Identify in class or pre-class homework to introduce basics & prep students for assignment |
Students will participate in a check in where they share one learning outcome they expect from the public speaking course. |
| Activities
Building from the first exposure, identify teaching & learning activities to promote the learning goals and enable assignment success |
Students will take turns reading the learning outcomes a loud as they are articulated by the Speech, Comm and Theatre Arts Department within the syllabus. Outcomes will be projected on the screen as well as available to the students within their syllabus.
1.) Prepare presentations for listeners. 2.) Prepare presentations using effective delivery techniques including extemporaneous speaking, standard language, and eye contact with the audience. 3.) Prepare presentations that locate, evaluate, select, and incorporate different forms of supporting material, including visual aids. 4.) Demonstrate acceptable ethical standards in research and presentation of materials. 5.) Research and organize material to support a thesis. 6.) Listen critically and respectfully to others’ speeches.

| Content
Describe (open) content, resources, materials that will be used to for first exposure and activities |
Students will gather in groups per “outcome” as outlined in the syllabus and create a 1-2 minute presentation, skit, video, slideshow, podcast, collage… communicating the outcome to their peers and how it applies to various fields of study as well as career goals.
Student creations will become part of the resources available on open lab as well as BB. Students can access and integrate “open” content as needed to facilitate understanding, connection and execution. Computers, phones, laptops and other devices can be used to access needed “open” content. Activity directly addresses the “outcomes” for the course and allows the students voice in identifying the outcomes, how they connect to their various fields of study and how the skills explored can be practically applied in a real world context
