Executive Summary

The Flipped Classroom is an instructional strategy that contrasts the traditional learning

environment. Instructional content becomes digitised and delivered online for students to acquire

at home. Activities that would normally be conducted as homework are now done in the

classroom in collaborative groups. The members of the science department of the Foundation

High School in Barbados will participate in an online professional development workshop series

to learn how to implement the Flipped Classroom Model within their classroom to improve

students’ overall performance in the sciences. At the end of the series, teachers will be able to

implement the Flipped Classroom Model effectively.

Introduction

The Flipped Classroom Model enables learners to have more input in their learning.

Alison King (1993) provided the groundwork for the Flipped Classroom Model based on her

research called “From Sage on the Stage to Guide on the Side”. In her research, King (1993)

emphasizes the need to use class time to construct meaning from content presented rather than to

introduce new information. The Flipped Classroom promotes blended learning, which is a

mélange of face to face learning with online education. This model integrates the behaviourist

and the constructivist learning theories (Hawk, 2014).

Foundation High School has been receiving poor national scores in science and teachers

credit this to the fact that the syllabuses are broad and content-ladened. Much time is allocated to

teaching the content reducing the time spent on developing higher order skills within the
GROUP- PROJECT
4

classroom. Thus, it was suggested that teachers in the Science Department consider the

alternative instructional model of the Flipped Classroom. These teachers will be the main

participants of this course. The course was created and uploaded to the school’s Moodle site.

This will allow teachers to explore the content of the workshop series in their own time and

space, in an asynchronous environment.

Needs Assessment

Background/Context

The teachers at the Foundation Secondary School in Barbados find the science syllabuses

to challenging to complete by the end of the academic year. Many teachers rush the syllabus and

in so doing create other challenges. These include students with differentiated learning having

difficulties grasping the new content and there is also little time that can be allocated to

reinforcing concepts with students. Additionally, much of the class time is spent disseminating

content rather than focusing on the higher order cognitive skills. Teachers also chose to limit the

number of practical work students do to overcome the time constraints. The end of year internal

and external academic results have gradually plummeted over the years. To address this

problem, a workshop on the Flipped Classroom Model was designed for the teachers to help

differentiate instruction, provide forums for their students to review content, take an active role

in their learning and use the face to face environment of the classroom to teach higher order

skills through active learning strategies.

GROUP- PROJECT

Topic of Instruction

The professional development workshop series is on the Flipped Classroom Model.

Teachers will progress through 3 units:

Unit 1 - Understanding the Flipped Classroom and the Role of the Teacher

Unit 2 - Creating and Evaluating Digital Content

Unit 3 - Creating a Lesson Plan using the Flipped Classroom Model

Audience

This professional development workshop series is designed for ten science teachers at the

Foundation High School, a pilot secondary school in Barbados. The teachers range in age

between 25 and 50 years old. Seven of the ten science teachers are trained with teaching

experience between three and twenty-five years. All seven teachers have a first degree in their

major, which is Biology, Chemistry and/ Physics. Three teachers are untrained. Six of the ten

teachers are preparing students to sit the Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC), an

external examination geared towards an Associate degree programme as a culmination of

standard secondary education. All participants of this workshop have previously received

training navigating the Moodle platform when the platform was first introduced school-wide. All

teachers also have basic ICT skills and often integrate technology in the classroom.

Format:

The professional development will take place fully online. It will incorporate the following:

● Online Lectures

● Presentations

● Videos
GROUP- PROJECT
6

● Discussion Forums

Data Collection Techniques used:

● Personal Interviews

● Classroom Observations

● Delphi Technique

● School Performance Report

● Student Performance Records

● Survey questionnaires

● Fault Tree Analysis

● Case Studies

The Need assessment produces optimal, actuals, feelings, causes and solutions as follows:

Optimal

● Teachers should be well trained on how to effectively use the Flipped Classroom Model.

● Teachers should create online content for students to access at home.

● Students should improve their science grades through varied online materials that present

content in an engaging format.

Actuals

● Teachers do not have enough class time to deliver the heavy content in the current

timetable.

● Teachers have difficulties reinforcing and applying new concepts due to limited class

time.

● Teachers need to find ways improve students’ grades in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
GROUP- PROJECT
7

Feelings

● Some teachers feel daunted that their learners are underperforming.

● Teachers get reports from parents that their children are not getting adequate practice on

new content before being assessed.

● Some teachers are frustrated about not completing the science syllabus on time for the

end of year examinations.

● Teachers feel skeptical that the workshop will effectively addressed their needs as other

initiatives have proven unsuccessful.

Causes

● Students are not getting adequate practice with new topics.

● Teachers spend a lot of time explaining new concepts while students passively try to

understand.

● Some students cannot fully understand the handouts given on new topics.

● The instructional strategies are teacher centred with content being delivered in the chalk

and method.

Solutions

● Instructors will utilize the flipped classroom model to address the inadequacies in the

current learning environment.

● Teachers will create and upload customized digital content that will focus on exactly

what students need.

● Teachers will utilize the classroom time to build on and develop higher order skills

allowing students to engage more deeply with the content.

Task Analysis

Task analysis according to Kemp et.al, (2011), determines what knowledge and

procedures is needed in instruction to help the learner master the objectives. It is one of the most

important component of the process of designing instruction.

A Task Analysis was conducted to determine what the learners needed know in order to

achieve the desired outcomes of the workshop, which is to implement the Flipped classroom

model into their teaching environment. A task selection worksheet was generated, listing seven

(7) tasks the learner needs to complete. Each task was measured ranging from criticality to

difficulty and was awarded points based on calculated amounts. A priority number was given

based on the point awarded (the higher the points the greater the priority). This priority listing

determined what task was of highest priority to achieving the desired outcome.

Even though the tasks were ranked it was recognised that all tasks could be included in

the three-day workshop since the tasks were closely related. It was recognised that creating the

lesson plan would require all other tasks. Additionally, if teachers are to implement the flipped

classroom approach then the workshop should aim to include all tasks relevant to resolving the

instructional challenge.

Instructional Strategies and Lesson

Unit 1 - The Flipped Classroom Model

PowerPoint Presentation (See Appendix A)

The PowerPoint presentation covers two areas of the Flipped Classroom Model, what is

the Flipped Classroom and the role of the teacher in the Flipped Classroom.

The first section of the PowerPoint explains what the Flipped classroom is about, comparing and

contrasting the traditional classroom to the flipped classroom and the benefits of the Flipped

classroom has to the teacher and students. The second section of the PowerPoint discusses the

role of the teacher in the Flipped classroom.

Additional reading resources is provided to extend knowledge of the topic. (See

Appendix B)
GROUP- PROJECT
22

Unit 2 - Creating and Evaluating Digital Content

PowerPoint Presentation (See Appendix E)

In Unit 2, teachers will learn the principles of multimedia learning as a framework for

creating and evaluating digital content. Teachers will demonstrate their understanding of the

principles of multimedia learning when choosing, creating and evaluating digital content.

Teachers will be working with Microsoft PowerPoint as this is a common tool used in the

classroom. Teachers will learn how to convert their PowerPoint presentations to a video format

to allow students to use videos in the home environment.

The PowerPoint presentation created for the workshop includes the following

instructional strategies: analogy, advanced organizers, small groups and guided discovery.
GROUP- PROJECT
23

Unit 3 - Creating a Lesson Plan using the Flipped Classroom Model

PowerPoint Presentation (See Appendix H)

In this unit, participants will learn of the 5 essential steps in creating a Flipped Lesson

Plan. These steps will be presented through a direct instructional video. After which, they will

follow along with a teacher as he demonstrates the planning process from beginning to end.

Finally, participants will be required to create their own lesson plan using the Lesson Plan

Template (See Appendix J) with guided instruction. This lesson plan would be uploaded and

shared with their peers. They will be required to give feedback on each other’s submission using

the Flipped Lesson Plan Checklist (See Appendix I)

GROUP- PROJECT
24

Assessment

Assessment according to Kemp et.al, (2011) “is the systematic collection of data

pertaining to programs and people”. Assessments would be conducted throughout each unit. This

will determine how well the participants received the information.

Unit 1 - The Flipped Classroom Model

Assessment 1 After viewing the video in the first section of the PowerPoint, learners will
use the assessment tool, a compare/contrast organizer to explore the
analogous as well as non-analogous characteristics of the two concepts,
tradition and flipped Classrooms. See Appendix C for compare and contrast
concept sheet.

Assessment 2 The Quick Quiz is a quiz assessment developed by ProProf, which consists
of five quick multiple-choice questions on the flipped classroom. The scores
are tallied at the end of the quiz and a certificate given. See PowerPoint
presentation for link to quiz questions. This assessment tool is used at the
end of the first section of the PowerPoint presentation.

Assessment 3 The development of the teachers’ philosophy for their flipped classroom
using no more than 250 words, stating what is the purpose of flipping the
classroom, what benefits do they see for themselves and students and what
goals they tend to achieve after implementing this model. This assessment
tool will be used at the end of the first section of the PowerPoint
presentation.

Assessment 4 A Quick Quiz was developed specifically for this section of the PowerPoint
(section two). This quiz was developed on Triventy and consists of six
quick multiple-choice questions and scored at the end of the test. See
PowerPoint presentation for link to questions (See Appendix A). This
assessment would be used to recap information gained in section two of the
PowerPoint presentation.
GROUP- PROJECT
25

Assessment 5 Teachers will create a mind map illustrating what was learnt in the
PowerPoint lesson, including all the elements of the flipped classroom
presented. A list of sites to creating the mind map was posted. Teacher will
post Mind maps in group forum. This will be used at the end of the
PowerPoint lesson. See PowerPoint presentation (See Appendix A).

Unit 2 - Creating and Evaluating Digital Content

Assessment 1 A selected-response assessment was created in Microsoft PowerPoint.
Teachers will be given ten (10) items, each representing a multimedia
learning principle, and asked to select from two options the one that
follows the multimedia learning principle being displayed (See
Appendix E).

Assessment 2 Teachers will be provided with the following scenario:

You are interested in selecting a PowerPoint presentation to
introduce students to the topic ‘Types of Teeth’. There are three
presentations available in the department’s collection of digital resource
material for Integrated Science. To select the presentation that best
applies the principles of multimedia learning, engage in a discussion
with your team members. Submit the PowerPoint presentation your
group has selected.

Assessment 3 You have decided that you will be using a flipped classroom approach
to teach Integrated Science. The PowerPoint presentation you selected
to introduce ‘Types of Teeth’ in your classroom will be given to
students to watch at home. However, you recognise that the
presentation will need to be converted to a video. Work in your
assigned small group to change this presentation to a video. Watch the
video for instructions on changing a PowerPoint presentation to an MP4
format.
GROUP- PROJECT
26

Assessment 4 Teachers will be provided with the rubric (See Appendix G) to

complete a peer assessment of the videos.

Unit 3 - Creating a Lesson Plan using the Flipped Classroom Model

Assessment 1 After watching the direct instruction section of the video presentation,
participants will be asked to explain the 5 steps for creating a Flipped
Lesson Plan in the discussion forum.

Assessment 2 After viewing the demonstration of how a teacher plans a flipped

lesson, participants will be asked to discuss the demonstration, stating
which steps the model demonstrated effectively and which areas could
be improved.

Assessment 3 At the end of the unit, teachers will be asked to create a flipped lesson
plan using the Lesson Plan Template (See Appendix J). They will use
the Flipped Lesson Plan Checklist (See Appendix I) as a guide.

Contextual Analysis

A contextual analysis was conducted using the Tessmer and Richey ID Contextual

Model for an online workshop series on the Flipped Classroom Model. Three contexts were

used in this model, the Orienting Context, Instructional Context and Transfer Context which will

describe what will impede or facilitate learning. In each context, learner factors that may affect

how learners learn were identified, environmental factors, and organizational factors. (See

Appendix K)

The participants of this professional development workshop are all members of the

science department of the Foundation High School. They all have a degree in their main subject
GROUP- PROJECT
27

area, however they all vary in educational experiences and learning styles. To customise the

workshops to include all the needs of the trainees, a contextual analysis was carried out to

facilitate the appropriate instructional environment and to organise the information to be

presented within the relevant contexts. The data gathered will be used to improve each trainer's

instructional method and to identify the instructional aids that will enable the trainers to achieve

their terminal objectives.

Learners

The science teachers at the Foundation High School are having challenges completing the

science syllabus at the end of each academic year and haven’t been able to give their learners

adequate practice for students to gain excellent scores. Many methods to teach the science

content were introduced over the years at varied workshops but these still have shortcomings. At

the end of year department review, the school's administration recommended that teachers be

trained in the flipped classroom model to improve the shortcomings with completing the syllabus

and reinforcing key concepts in each science area.

The learners, some teacher-trained and holding varied degrees would take part in this

workshop. None of the department members have ever used the Flipped Classroom Model

before. Two of them have never heard of the Flipped Classroom Model. However, they are

aware of the current challenges that exist in the department and are motivated to take part in their

training exercise to help their students improve for their CSEC examinations.

Prior Knowledge

All teachers have at least a bachelor’s degree in their major science degree but only 70%

of the department members are teacher trained. All teachers have basic computer literacy skills

and have used PowerPoint presentations, online videos and other online powered activities in
GROUP- PROJECT
28

their classrooms. They are highly knowledgeable in their content area. All teachers have been

trained on accessing and navigating the Moodle platform, as it is currently being used at the

school.

Orienting context

The trainers of this workshop are efficient and are veteran instructors of the Flipped

Classroom Model. These instructors have all been certified by the Barbadian education ministry

to conduct training exercises on how to effectively use the Flipped Classroom Model. The

instructors will use the Moodle learning management system to demonstrate and have their

participants practise using the flipped classroom model.

Instructional context

Participants are required to complete the workshop module in three days. The trainers will use

varied visual, auditory instructional materials to educate each learner about the Flipped

Classroom Model. Each trainee will have access to a personal laptop/tablet to enable them to

access the online module.. The trainers, through the materials, will demonstrate to the trainees

how to create, upload and evaluate content for each class. The trainers have a generator system

and mobile hot-spots to connect at least 10 devices per router on the training site. In the event

that there is a power cut, the training would still be executed, and the workshop heavily relies on

the internet and other technologies.

Transfer Context

Due to the nature of the flipped classroom, information about it and how to create digital

content to be used in the home environment may be applied not only in science department. The

trainees can go back and teach the skills and strategy to other teachers of other departments other

than science.

Review of Process

Pilot Users Data and Feedback

Pilot users were asked to sign up for the course using the course link

(https://edutechbahamas.moodlecloud.com/course/view.php?id=4). They were prompted to

complete each unit sequentially. The pilot users include 6 teachers from The Bahamas. They

were selected based on their availability to complete the course. As participants completed the

course units, they were asked to take several quizzes and make submissions via file upload. The

quiz results and file submission were assessed according to corresponding rubrics.

The purpose of the pilot was to determine the ease at which participants could access the

course, the quality of the content and the applicability of the activities. Pilot users were asked to

fill out on an online survey about their experience. This survey was created using Google Forms.

Participants rated the following areas:

1 - Poor 2 - Needs Improvement 3 - Good 4 - Very Good 5-

Pilot users were also asked to state the following:

Questions Responses

What did you find most “All of the resources were present and in a central location.”
effective and efficient about “The PowerPoint lessons were creatively designed and
the lessons? engaging.”

What did you find least “Some of the assessment tools were a bit much. I didn’t like
effective and efficient about having to download, print, fill out, scan and then upload an
the lessons? activity. It should’ve been designed to be filled out online.”

“It was a lot of information to process in a short time.”

What suggestion would you “Rather than having PowerPoint lesson, convert those into
give to improve this lesson? videos...especially since you are teaching how to convert
PowerPoints into videos...lol.”

Platform

When considering a platform for the online course, we discussed 3 options, Moodle,

Edmodo and Canvas. Edmodo was firstly eliminated, as our research revealed that it was not

ideal on a mobile device. Due to the short time limit of the course, we wanted to ensure that

learners had the best access to the materials at home, school or on the go. A deeper comparison

went into Moodle and Canvas. They both offered the same features such as Open Source and

Cloud and server based. Moodle eventually won out because of two features Canvas did not

have. Moodle offers content authoring tools. This was important to us because it provided a

software solution for creating and hosting the course. Secondly, Moodle allows course download

in order to operate in an offline mode. We found this feature beneficial as teachers had the option

to download the content at home and complete the course in other locations even if Internet was

not available.
GROUP- PROJECT

Design Process

As instructional designers our aim is to look for gaps in knowledge and develop a design

process which transforms information into clear meaningful context by guiding learners in the

correct path. For our final project as designers, the Garrison group met, collaborated and decided

that a new topic would be better suited to be developed rather than selecting and expanding on

one of the topics already created. The design group collaborated online via zoom.us. as each

designer was from a different country. Discussions were made on the approach and direction the

new group project would take. It was decided that our new project be developed based on an

instructional problem at a secondary school in Barbados, where it is believed that students are

underperforming in Science subjects. As a group a clear goal began manifesting in our minds on

what was to be achieved.

The group through collaboration, decided that the Flipped Classroom Model was

appropriate to assist teachers with the problems experienced. It is believed that the Flipped

Classroom Model will address the multiple perspectives and the context the teachers need to

improve students’ performance. It was also anticipated that some teachers may have some fears

about using this new approach as this goes against their traditional way of teaching and doing

things. They may not be fully equipped to use this model and whether this model would be

effective in meeting the needs of each learner could affect the participants’ feelings. These

misconceptions were all taken into consideration as potential flaws that could affect training.

Thus, beginning the starting point to our instructional design was an understanding of the theory

behind the Flipped Classroom Model.

GROUP- PROJECT

A draft of the training workshop was developed outlining each area and how these areas

would be tackled to deal with the problem. Due to the timeframe in which the workshop is to be

piloted, the drafted outline was divided into four areas, in which each designer was given the

responsibility to expand on and develop. A Google document was created and shared and

timelines given to each designer to submit their pieces for feedback. This method was effective

in allowing designers to add to the document, make changes, edit, insert additional information

where needed, improve areas and make suggestions. This tool along with Whatsapp chat and

emailing was effective in the design process and would be used again if the workshop is to be

revised or if a new project is to be designed. One thing that would have been done differently is

the addition of more units to extend knowledge and expand the training. Since time constraint

was an issue, only three units were developed and compacted to provide participants sufficient

information to understand the topic and the project to be piloted. Additionally, it would have

been beneficial to give pilot users more time to complete the course. Due to the time constraint,

pilot users were forced to rush through the content in order to give the necessary feedback.

On development of the Moodle site for piloting, it was realized that some of the design

decisions made, such as some of the assessment sheets had flaws that needed to be revised in

order to make it easily accessible to participants in an online environment. This could not be

corrected as designers were in the piloting phase of the project, so the assessment design

remained unchanged. This is a design decision that had to be made. However, the lesson was

learned. When designing instruction for an online environment, we must ensure that all elements

are suitable. Also, due to time constraints, our pilot users were only given 2 of the 3-day period

required to complete the units.

GROUP- PROJECT
33

If given more time, more units would have been developed, the training workshop would

have included more participants of the science department and grouped accordingly. Teachers

would have also been given the opportunity to implement the flipped classroom model in the

classrooms and submit documentation of their experience through various media.

Reflections

Anna-Kaye Smith

Having received feedback for the individual mini project in the heels of working

collaboratively to create an extended project, I felt apprehensive as to how well I could

contribute to the overall success of this project. I had done extensive work in trying to improve

my mini project and the grade and feedback weren't what I was hoping for. If I did not improve

my application of ISD process and strategies, how could I truly be effectively in my

contributions to the project and not let down my teammates?

Despite my initial apprehensions, my group mates not only honestly shared their own

anxieties, but in the areas, they were strong in, they took charge and were able to provide

valuable recommendations for the improvement of the project. From the very start in deciding

the topic of project was a very democratic approach: ideas were presented and after amicable

discussions, we all agreed on the topic. What worked about the topic was that it was not far-

fetched. I had never used the flipped classroom model, but having done research, I saw how I

could integrate this model as an instructor in my modern languages classes.

The challenge that I assumed I would have had in working as group was how effective it

would be on an online platform, with at least an hour difference and with my current workload. I

was concerned about how flexible I could be to facilitate and effectively complete this project.

Synchronous communication like zoom.us video conferencing, WhatsApp and the Google docs

to upload and edit our project as we progressed were effective tools that we all could readily

access. We could access these tools anytime and share ideas or upload contributions anytime for

teammates to peruse.
GROUP- PROJECT
41

Time was a factor that I had difficulty in trying to balance and always seemed to be a

limited resource. The other course so happened to have a group project due around the same

time, and so I found it personally difficult to juggle my time to be actively present for both group

projects. I am not sure how often the course designers meet but I wonder if it would help if both

courses being offered not have the second major assignments both being collaborative in nature.

Technological tools that are inexpensive and readily accessible were our biggest asset in

completing this group assignment. If we didn't have these innovative tools that we could readily

access without attaching a credit card, working collaboratively would have taken longer and

would not allow for ready feedback. I still feel as if we had enough time, we could have made

this project a greater success.

The only thing I prefer with individual work is that I can set my own work pace, factoring

in my professional and personal life demands. However, so far working in the UWI online

platform, the groups that I have been a part of have been truly great. I have encountered group

mates who genuinely operate as a team. They listen, provide constructive feedback, motivate and

I like how we are able to learn from each other. Reading up on the rise model was one thing, but

witnessing it being authentically practised is an incentive within it itself.

Alana St. Cyr

Firstly, I must begin by stating that it was a privilege to work with such an amazing group

of ladies, who are hardworking individuals, supportive, great thinker and always aims at get their

task done in a timely manner. From the beginning our team meshed and continued on until

completion of the task. It is my belief that the Garrison group was the best group of EDID 6505

(my opinion) and I would like to say thanks to the ladies for making this a great team effort.
GROUP- PROJECT
42

In the beginning I must confess that I had some concerns with the group feedback as I

wasn’t sure that the feedback I was getting from my team member were accurate. However, I

realized that in some areas the feedback was welcoming, as information I may had omitted

unaware to me and misinterpreted was picked up by team members. As well as it was self-

rewarding that I was able to assist another team member who was experiencing difficulties.

That’s went the true concept of group feedback was realized by me.

Although we were all from different countries, meeting and discussing the task and ideas

were never a problem. The various methods we selected to communicate on for the group

project, such as Whatsapp, Google document, emails and zoom.us, had proven to be effective, as

everyone was able to contribute and collaborate ideas. These various forums make modifications

to the document when whenever needed easier and this was done in a timely manner. The only

downfall I may see to the project is the timeframe given to complete the group task and pilot the

programme successfully. I believe with more time given to pilot the project we would have

gotten better feedback from participants.

The only thing I would have done differently would be to add additional units onto the

training workshop to extend content and knowledge given a much wider timeframe. It is my

belief that participants would have had a clearer idea and understanding of how effective

implementing the flipped classroom model would be to teaching and learning and to improving

students’ performance.

Working individual for me works well as I tend to understand and process the

information presented easier. However, working in groups also helps to see things I may have

missed or misinterpreted. Working in groups also tends to give your group project a unique

structure as diversity allows you to explore different perspectives.

Shanelle Waithe

Having a second go at using the ISD processes and strategies to respond to an

instructional challenge (though fictitious) was quite rewarding. The members of the group had

already proven to be responsible, goal-oriented and cooperative during the individual

assignment. The group assignment only served to strengthen the collaborative process and

enhance my understanding of the role and function of an instructional designer.

Enhancing Understanding through Group Work

It would appear that I value being led and leading others. In both situations I am able to

strengthen my understanding of concepts. In being assigned or choosing to work on particular

components of the assignment, one is held responsible for that area and must be prepared to

“face” the others in the team. I constantly questioned my understanding of the project. Group

members also did the same as our discussions on Whatsapp and editing the assignment on google

drive included re-examining the assignment and suggesting how we should move forward. I also

had to revisit the course materials provided and do my own research so I could contribute

meaningfully to the assignment. There is a higher degree of accountability included in group

assignments than the individual assignment. When being led by others in areas where I was not

as strong, it gave me an opportunity to develop a greater understanding through interactions with

those that were at a higher level of understanding. The explanations of my team members was

often more understandable than those from course materials.

Not only was I able to enhance my own understanding but that of my team members. One

of the comments made from a team member is that through my contribution, she was able to

understand our project better. This allowed her to offer further suggestions on improving on one

of the components assigned to me. Such an experience was mutually satisfying.

GROUP- PROJECT
44

The ISD Strategies and Future Training Sessions

I continue to find the work of the instructional designer applicable to my work setting.

While the instructional challenge is fictitious, the essence of what was presented is quite real.

Teachers often suggest that syllabuses are so broad they spend little time engaging in student-

centered activities and spend more time focusing on knowledge acquisition than problem-solving

or critical thinking skill development. In seeking to design effective training sessions through a

systematic process that involves subject matter experts, learners (pilot group), technical experts

or ITCs (thankfully one of a group members is strong in this area) there is a greater chance of

training being efficacious.

Online Learning

I have had little experience teaching in an online environment. Even when I was

designing the lesson, I did not always consider how instruction in an online environment would

have needed to be modified. This is where having a technical expert in the group was critical.

For example, presenting the assessment to the learners required use of online tools for selected

response to occur. As simple as this was I overlooked it. I am now more thoughtful of all the

steps needed in presenting information online. Even though we did not get to explore the concept

of instructor presence, in placing our lessons on the LMS I thought of how it could be

humanized.

Overall, the experience of this group project has elevated my appreciation

Samantha Wilson
First of all, I must state that Garrison group was a great group to work with. Once

grouped, we immediately formed a WhatsApp group to keep communication alive. We also

created and used Google Docs to work collaboratively on the project. Through these two
GROUP- PROJECT
45

mediums and meetings via zoom.us, we were able to define the scope of our project and the roles

and responsibilities we each would take. I believe that our open communication channels

contributed greatly to the success of this project.

Considering the overall process of this group project, the only thing that I would

reconsider is time we began working on the project. If we had more time, we could have really

developed this unit and add much more substance. However, time was beyond our control as we

had only just completed our individual projects and were still required to be involved in the

weekly learning cafes. Other than that, I am pleased with our topic selection and process.

When we first started planning, we had not received the grades from our individual

projects, but I was feeling quite confident about the direction our planning was headed. Then, I

got my individual grade and I was not pleased at all. The feedback I received caused me to doubt

the level of contribution I would be able to make to the group. Even though exemplars were

provided for us in the project showcase, they were different from each other and it left me

somewhat confused.

It was good to know that 2 other teams members felt good about their scores, so we had a

fair balance. Reviewing the individual projects of my team members allowed me to get a clearer

understanding of the tasks.

After the individual grades, we re-evaluated our original plan and decided that we

weren’t being as thorough as we needed to be. We spent a great deal of time on WhatsApp chats

and in Google docs brainstorming and creating a plan. Technology has really made collaboration

easier as we found ourselves working synchronously and asynchronously to complete the task.

I will reiterate, this group was a great team to work with. I expressed my disappointment in my

individual grade and admitted my shortcomings. They were very supportive, and I was never
GROUP- PROJECT
46

afraid to ask for more clarification. I was able to gain a better understanding of ISD through the

group collaboration.

Honestly, I have always been one to detest group work, especially the idea of it in an

online environment. However, so far in my UWI experience, I’ve been fortunate enough to be in

groups with other hard working and dedicated individuals.
