TEACHING ADULTS IN DE FORMAT
A faculty development workshop
Christine Leake, M.S., M.B.A.
Workshop Agenda
Welcome and Introductions
Discussion: Teaching Adults Using Technology
Form: Theory & Principles: Pedagogy vs. Andragogy
Consistency-PIE Model
Measurable Outcomes - More Than Test Scores: Skill Transfer, Engagement, and Motivation Count
Objectives
1. Differentiate the terms Pedagogy and Andragogy
2. Identify Adult Learning Principles
3. Demonstrate a working knowledge of the PIE Model
4. Understand that form and consistency in DE course design impacts measurable outcomes (a
standardized course design lowers frustration, diminishes distractions, and empowers students)
Welcome! Let’s take a few moments to get to know each other.
Please tell us:
• Your name
• What courses you teach
• How long you’ve been teaching
• Whether you’ve taught a DE section
• Your greatest concern surrounding online education

O.1
Compare and Contrast
PEDAGOGY VS. ANDRAGOGY WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?“Adult education is a process through which learners become aware of significant
experience. Recognition of significance leads to evaluation. Meanings accompany experience when we know what is happening and what importance the event includes for our personalities” (Knowles, Holton, and Swanson, 2005).

EXAMPLESCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
PEDAGOGY
“In pedagogy, the instructor is in charge of the learning experience. The instructor will control the content, delivery methods, and evaluation processes. In a true pedagogical approach, the passing of an instructor designed or approved examination determines how effectively the students have learned” (Flosi, 2011 para 5).
ANDRAGOGY
“Adults need to understand the applicability of the lesson before they will engage in the learning. In law enforcement training, the subject matter must be relevant, realistic and immediately applicable …. In a survey of officers, they indicated that for learning to transfer, they had to be able to apply the skills and knowledge immediately into their practice” (Flosi, 2011 para 9).

O.1
From theory to principle…
Adult Learning Principles
1. Adults are motivated to learn as they experience needs and interests
that learning will satisfy (immediate and relevant).
2. Adults’ orientation to learning is life-centered.
3. Experience is the richest source for adult learning.
4. Adult’s have a deep need to be self-directing.
5. Individual differences among people increase with age.

Instructional Design is where learning theory and the learning environment meet. Courses are designed with the students’ needs at the center of the instruction. Student

Designing DE Courses for Adults
What do we know?
• Adults need to direct their learning experiences
• Adults need relevant learning experiences
• Adults have rich life experiences to draw from
• Adults are responsible for their learning
• Facilitators and designers, design courses with the adult learners’ needs in
mind
• When designing courses we need to consider more than the content, but the
experience the learner will encounter
• Understanding how adults learn allows us to design courses that are
engaging, relevant, and assess for synthesis and transfer
Designing DE Courses for Adults
What resources are available?
Equation
Knowledge + Tools/Resources + Support + Instructional Design Model =
Consistent “Student – Centered” Course Designs
Our goal is to use a Learning Management System (LMS) to design courses using an instructional design model which will yield coursework that is grounded in learning theory, and that is consistent in the online learning environment.
Consistency is form
Why is it important to maintain consistency in DE courses?
When we design courses according to an easy to use model, both the
instructor and student encounter less distractions. Distractions reduce
motivation and engagement. When all faculty members use the same model
of design, all students come to know the model and will know how to navigate
each DE course with ease. When students experience success, they believe
they will be successful in the future. Self efficacy is a key ingredient in an
online learning environment (self directing). A consistent model also allows
students to integrate their current skill-set across the curriculum (relevance).
PIE: An Instructional Design Model
The Newby, Stephich, Lehman, and Russell Model
1. Planning2. Implement-ing3. Evaluating
A model focused on “a shift from a teacher-cen-tered to a learner-centered classroom environ-ment” with use of today’s media technology (Gustafson & Branch, 2002 p. 44).
To Implement is to Do or Act
To Evaluate is to Assess, Modify, and Measure

To Plan is to Prepare
Planning Implementing Evaluating1.What do the learners need to know (Objectives)?
2.What do they already know (life experiences)?
3.How will they “self direct” through the content?
4.How will I use technology to link the content to my students’ needs for relevant learning experiences?
5.How will I incorporate the lessons from Course Redesign and Adult Learning Theory in my courses?
1. How will I set up my online course so it is easy to use and engaging?
2. How will I address learning preferences in the online portion of this course (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, and combination)?
3. How will I know that my students have the minimum computer skills necessary to complete the online portion of the course?
4. How will I incorporate the objectives in every lesson?
1. How will I measure transfer?
2. How will I know when remediation is necessary?
3. How will I know if my students are engaged in the learning process?
4. Am I using technology to motivate my students and keep them engaged or are they frustrated?
5. How will I know if the objectives have been met?

PIE: Facilitator View
Can you think of any other questions that would apply in these sections?
Planning Implementing Evaluating1.What do I need to learn (Objectives)?
2.How does this relate to what I already know or want to know (life experiences)?
3.How much control will I have over my schedule (self direct)?
4.How difficult will it be to navigate through this course? How different is it from the others? How much time is it going to take to learn the process?
1. How will I be able to use my personal experiences to connect to this material?
2. How do I put what I have read into practice when I am not physically in the classroom?
3. How will I know if I have interacted with my peers enough to satisfy the requirements?
4. How will I interact with my classmates’ who have different opinions and perspectives when there is no emotion or body language in the written word (encountered in DE)?
1. What are the grading requirements?
2. How will I know when remediation is necessary?
3. Am I meeting the expectations of the instructor? How do I know? Where can I find feedback on my assignments?
4. How will I know if the objectives have been met?

Give PIE a TRY!Use the screen shot from D2L to put the content in the appropriate (PIE) order.

PIE in PLAY
Below we have a screen shot of Module 1 from Course Redesign. These topics are relevant to designing courses online as well as for demonstrating PIE. Each item under the topic is labeled with the appropriate letter in PIE to demonstrate a how a course should look in the content area.
Let’s take a closer look
Planning• Students are introduced to the objectives and timeline
• Students are asked a question about last week’s assignment
• Students are asked to complete a new reading assignment or to do research on the web.
Implementing• Students are asked to participate in a discussion of pertaining to the new content.
• Students are asked to respond to a minimum of two peers’ responses in the discussion board (Note: discussions must add perspective to the original point)
• Students are provided problem-solving opportunities.
Evaluating• Students are provided feedback from peers and the facilitator
• Students are provided both qualitative and quantitative means of feedback.
