Enhance Student Learning With Simulations, April Robbs, Jason Williams, Suzan Rhoades
SIDLIT Conference
Have you considered using a learning simulation in your course? Three instructional designers introduce attendees to simulations used in Ottawa University programs and share processes for evaluating and selecting simulations, implementing them, and assessing the learning experience. We share examples for enhancing courses in biology, human resources, and nursing.

Let's Take A Look Inside Discussion Boards, Annie Hoekman
SIDLIT Conference
This research examined the nature of the patterns of communication of discussion board users who were enrolled in undergraduate online courses. For purpose of analysis, this study used Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework (1992). Data were collected from discussion board posts of eight undergraduate online courses. An examination of these data was further informed by Garrison, Anderson, & Archer (1999) Community of Inquiry model. Using Garrison et al.’s ideas, the researcher described the nature of the interactions between students and faculty with respect to social, cognitive, and teaching presence in online discussion boards. The findings of this research …

It’S Almost Magic. Embedding Libguides In Canvas Courses Using Springshare’S Automagic Lti Tool, Alice Anderson
SIDLIT Conference
An academic library may have hundreds of database subscriptions. Librarians create dozens of research guides to point the way to the best resources for subjects and classes. But manually creating links between appropriate library resources and the hundreds of college courses offered every semester is prohibitively labor intensive. The answer is to automate that linking process. Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) allows applications to interact with learning management systems (LMS) in defined ways. Springshare's LibApps Automagic LTI Tool makes getting the right library resources for each course into the hands of students easier. Discussion will center on how Kansas State University …
From Tele- To Online Courses: Transforming Hist 132, Torie Wynn
From Tele- To Online Courses: Transforming Hist 132, Torie Wynn
SIDLIT Conference
Wichita State University’s History Department and Instructional Technology and Design (IDT) office teamed up to eliminate the HIST 132 telecourse and replace it with an online course. This presentation will discuss stages of the transformation, including: Inception and Barriers, Design & Development (using theories from Green Light Design and the LEARN Model and adopting an OpenStax OER textbook), Delivery, and Challenges and Changes. IDT will provide a brief tour of the course shell and suggest ways in which a model like this may work at your university.
Cutting Time, Not Corners: Rapid Prototyping In Instructional Design, Joelle Pitts
Cutting Time, Not Corners: Rapid Prototyping In Instructional Design, Joelle Pitts
SIDLIT Conference
Trends in digital teaching and learning combined with the learning preferences of college students result in an ever-increasing need for digital learning objects and experiences. Time, budget, and environmental restraints compound instructional design challenges, resulting in too many projects spread over too few staff members. Rapid Prototyping (RP) is an iterative design process originating from the software engineering sector. Adapted to instructional design, RP allows academics to facilitate the design, development, and assessment of multiple learning objects to maximize resources, while catching problems early in the development stage. Discussion will center on how RP can overcome common instructional design problems. …
