IMPLEMENTATION Graphics/Video Articulate 360(Rise) Pre-test/Post-test Segmented Chunks
APPLICATION OF HCI 520 PRINCIPLES Multimedia Multimedia pictures and video to explain how tones were read, said, and written along with the English letter combinations Contiguity Contiguity text and corresponding graphics near one another Modality Modality Incorporation of videos where a native Mandarin speaker pronounce each word or phrase phonetically.
APPLICATION OF HCI 520 PRINCIPLES Redundancy Redundancy Audio in the videos is not lengthy nor are the text on the videos or graphics My system is an exception due to it being a language program Coherence Coherence No distracting graphics, text, or audio were included in the course The content was concise Personalization Personalization Script was developed to be friendly and welcoming
APPLICATION OF HCI 520 PRINCIPLES Segmenting and Pretraining Segmenting and Pretraining The course was broken up into small digestible chunks Learning objectives of the learner were introduced at the beginning of the pre-test and the beginning of the course Practice Practice Course offered videos that the learner could use to practice the pinyin words, phrases, or tones. Flashcards Learner Control Learner Control Learners had full ability to learn at their own pace or review any content that they felt necessary
APPLICATION OF HCI 520 PRINCIPLES Thinking Learners were required to knowledge from lessons in previous sections and incorporate them into learning new content. Encouraged to read new numbers or phrases and apply this knowledge to new situations They were then asked to listen to the correct phonetics of each word or phrase and compare
APPLICATION OF HCI 520 PRINCIPLES Feedback Feedback Video Review Immediate feedback was given during the post-test. Far Transfer Far Transfer Learners can use the tones and lessons they learned in the course and apply them to discovery of new pinyin combinations
EVALUATION 22 participants signed up. 13 completed the course.
