Identification of Learning Problem

A third-grade teacher at NHE school, Kelli Shwamb, was unsure if her students knew

how to be safe online and protect themselves while doing so. She as them a few questions to

determine if they understood what personal and private information was and what they should

openly share online. She was not impressed they had very little understanding about what it

means to be protective of yourself and your private information. We determined that we would

give the students in her class a pre-assessment to get a baseline for what they understood and

then collaboratively build a unit on cybersafety for those students.

Learner Analysis

The learners are 18 3rd grade students at North Harlem Elementary School. They range in

age from 8 to 9 years old with one student who has already turned 10. The makeup of the class

is 38% white male, 22% white female, 17% African-American male, 17% African-American

female, and 11% being Hispanic males. Several students are RTI students whom receive EIP

support and 5 students are SPED inclusion students.

Instructional Objectives

Instructional Design Summary

The entirety of this cybersafety course will be given to students online. Learners will be

guided with the use of interactive videos on the different aspects of being a safe online citizen.

Learners will have a computer at their disposal to experience hands-on learning while being

given the steps along the way if assistance is needed. The instructor will also have the option to

display his screen on the overhead monitor to visually instruct learners if issues arise. The

instructional objectives will be met through the guidance of the instructor and this hands-on-

approach by the learners.

Program Evaluation

The online course will be subject to the feedback provided by the learners at the end of

instruction. To determine if learners had a positive experience and the instruction was precise

and relevant to the learner, learners will complete quizzes to each lesson they come across. It has

been determined that for this course to be successful, 80% of the class should pass with at least

80% on each section quiz. Data will then be analyzed for possible improvements to instruction.

Once any improvements, if any, are made this course will be redelivered to another group of

students to determine if improvements helped the learners.
