Evaluations
No evaluations yet.
When I do search for content, exercises and activities for my communication courses, I find the order I usually follow to evaluate follows the following:
Purpose and Relevance: In many areas of my course, whether it be face-to-face or virtual, I love incorporating multimedia within my content. Multimedia is a great tool for making the difficult, ambiguous and/or theoretical concepts come to life for students. Multimedia can present interpersonal dynamics, provide demonstrations, and offer tutorials. In essence, I am always hoping for multimedia that sparks relevance and engagement. Therefore—my first order of business is usually purpose and relevance. With the chapters, exercises, and activities included, this OER textbook meets/exceeds my standards for purpose and relevance.
Culturally Responsive. Whether I am selecting learning tools to complement my course or simple graphics for PPT slides or LMS illustrations, I am very aware of WHO is depicted in the illustrations. Have I found content and illustrations that contain a variety of genders, ethnicities, abilities, etc.? I want all to “see themselves” within the course content. With the diverse photos included, this OER textbook meets/exceeds my standards for cultural responsiveness.
Current: Whether presenting communication dynamics, providing demonstrations, or tutorials—trade articles, multimedia, and other assorted OER content must be up-to-date. I find students relate to content examples when it is within 3 years old. This resource was added in 2020, making it relevant and meeting my standards for currency.
Credible: While purpose, relevance, and current, up-to-date trade and multimedia are essential, I am also conscious of the credibility of the source. Depending on its use, I stick with current and credible trade articles, current and credible TedTalk demonstrations, and educational industry experts for LMS/Microsoft Teams embedded tutorials. Reviewing the credentials of the publisher, I find this to be most credible!
Accessibility. When choosing any OER related materials, I am becoming more aware of accessibility. Is it reader/audio/visually friendly? On seeing that there are multiple methods for downloading/access, this resource meets my standards of accessibility.
