Abstract
Two faculty approaches to teaching include engineering learning opportunities by 1) creating a situation where a student has to learn or 2) leveraging student and instructor relationships to reach students and motivate them to learn. In his face-to-face classes, David Long’s students require the latter approach so he wanted to find a way to create that relationship when delivering his lectures online. He noted that research has shown that interpersonal interaction correlates with student performance. He developed a modified version of the Lighboard that is cost effective for community colleges and shared information on how it is set up and the value he sees in using it. An eye tracking experiment was conducted to determine where a student focused his/her attention when viewing the Lightboard-delivered video of his chemistry lecture. Watching these videos also allows him to reflect on the information he delivers and how to improve upon it.
David Long, assistant professor chemistry, Flathead Valley Community College (MT), presented this information to faculty working on the Consortium for Healthcare Education Online project at the CHEO Discipline Panel Faculty Professional Development Workshop – By Design: Taking ALL Allied Health Students Across the Finish Line, on May 15, 2015. The event was hosted by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) and was held at its SHEPC Learning Center in Boulder, CO. The CHEO project is funded by a U.S. Department of Labor Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) grant.
