Driving Question How can educators motivate students to participate

in research and scholarly activity?

Background

Page 7: Webinar - Using Brightspace to Design and Develop Scholarly Activities

Department of Family MedicineTeaching and Learning Services 7

Background Residents are required to complete Scholarly Activities

Support differs across the 9 McGill University clinical sites

Result is an unsatisfactory learning experience

Page 8: Webinar - Using Brightspace to Design and Develop Scholarly Activities

Department of Family MedicineTeaching and Learning Services 8

Background Have no interest in research and find this component of the residency program to be useless and are therefore unmotivated to complete their Scholarly Activity.

Two years ago, one of the clinical sites made their course available 'online' by using Brightspace solely as a repository to store all of their documentation.

Residents were not engaged or motivated to go through the abundant material uploaded into Brightspace.

CLEAR NEED TO INCREASE MOTIVATION!!!

In March of 2015, I was assigned to this project to apply active learning strategies to the content.

I wanted to know more about the Learning Management System and the educational technologies available at McGill University and reached out to Teaching and Learning Services and consulted with a Learning Technology Consultant.

Goal: self-paced and self-directed to increase motivation

Rationale forDesign and Development

Educational Technologies

Two Learning Technology Consultants that serve the McGill Community

Our driving mission:

• How can we, as a teaching and learning support center, help instructors maximize the Brightspace platform and other technologies to enhance student learning?

How do we do this?• Individual consultations• Workshops• Monthly webinars• Ed-tech pilots

The word on the street We recently presented the online course to over 200 residents in a short presentation.

Great interest!!

They loved:

Self paced and self directedIt looked funThe discussion forums connecting with PhD mentorsOnline community because they are very isolated

Challenges and Successes

Page 29: Webinar - Using Brightspace to Design and Develop Scholarly Activities

Department of Family MedicineTeaching and Learning Services 29

Challenges Buy-in from resident supervisors and directors to standardize (content and assessment) across sites

Motivate residents

Convince Instructors of the value of using Brightspace for true online learning

Challenges

Many think of the LMS mainly as a repository for files and readings, rather than see it as a

learning environment.

“Convince Instructors of the value of using Brightspace for true online learning”…

Successes and Lessons Learned

Engage stakeholders (supervisors of residents, department heads, student leaders) in the development of the course ex: workshops piloting the material

Importance of instructional design for self-paced and self-directed learning to build motivation

Effective sequencing of material with surveys, videos, reading material; and technology decisions

Importance of the relationship with the Instructional Designer and creating a Champion within the Department.

Generated requests and discussions of online learning

Helped identify the knowledge gaps and needs of instructors making these requests

Given us examples to showcase

Opened up opportunities to pilot LTI’s
