Open Education Resource: Flipping the classroom

with MOODLE About the OER

Open educational resources (OER) are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and

media that are useful for teaching, learning, and assessing as well as for research purposes.

This OER is created for my college students and also for Java beginners to learn basic

concepts of Core Java. As a part of this OER I have divided this tutorial into nine chapters. In

each chapter the specific and related PPTs or uploaded in Video format as well as PowerPoint

PPTs. This OER is useful for all graduate and undergraduate students.

OER is available at: https://nationaldegreecollege.moodlecloud.com/login/index.php

Target Audience: Under Graduate students (B.Sc. Computer Science – III Semester),

Engineering Graduates (B.Tech. C.S.E. and B.Tech. I.T. students).

Section 2: Design Decisions

Nature of Decisions taken

The design decisions involved in the creation of this OER were of broadly three types:

1. Content Decisions

2. Pedagogic Decisions

3. Technology Decisions

Content Decisions

The content decisions related to:

a. Topics to be covered – Java Programming Tutorial –What, Why and How?

b. The material required such as videos, PPTs and other documents etc.

Pedagogic Decisions

Slideshows are quick to produce, easy to update and effective to inject visual interest into the

presentation. However, slideshows can also spell disaster even for experienced presenters.

The key to success is to make certain your slide show is a visual aid and not a visual

distraction.

Tips for Making Effective PowerPoint Presentations

Use the slide master feature to create a consistent and simple design template. It is

fine to vary the content presentation (i.e., bulleted list, 2-column text, text & image),

but be consistent with other elements such as font, colors, and background.

Simplify and limit the number of words on each screen. Use key phrases and include

only essential information.

Limit punctuation and avoid putting words in all capital letters. Empty space on the

slide will enhance readability.

Use contrasting colors for text and background. Light text on a dark background is

best. Patterned backgrounds can reduce readability of text.

Avoid the use of flashy transitions such as text fly-ins. These features may seem

impressive at first, but are distracting and get old quickly.

Step4: Once after going through the videos from youtube and the material uploaded in the

moodle the students have to attempt the PPTs as per the schedule and finally submit the

assignment for the final grading of the course.

Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness of OER

The OER effectiveness can be assessed at two levels:

1. At the student level

2. At the consumer level

Effectiveness at the student level

Effectiveness at the student level involves metrics related to student access of the resource

and student learning.

The Moodle lesson report can be used to evaluate this effectiveness, with the report showing the

total number of students who accessed the reports (along with time) and their marks (based on

their answers to MCQs). Additionally there is an option for teacher to grade essays and these

marks also will be calculated if needed.

Screenshot for Enrolled participants:

Effectiveness at consumer level

OER consumers are typically teachers who want their students to learn concept mapping.

Linking a survey on three main constructs – Ease of Use, Concept Coverage and Concept

Complexity, can help in identifying the effectiveness of this OER at consumer level. This has

to be done as a follow-up activity.

Open End Resources: PowerPoint Slides to learn JAVA Page 11

Implementing Survey

Thus every user who downloads this resource will be asked their email address and as a

follow up the survey will be send to their email address.

Survey Questions:

Construct Question Scale

Ease of Use

I found it easy to download the Lesson

Activity

Strongly Disagree to

Strongly Agree (5-

point Likert Scale)

I found the instructions to setup the Lesson

Activity useful in setting the activity in my

Course

I was able to successfully create Lesson in

my own course

Concept coverage The Lesson covers the required concepts

related to concept maps that I need for

Concept complexity The content inside the Lesson is too complex

for my students to understand
