Title: Supporting Meaningful Student Outcomes in the Online Environment

Author: Christy Alligood, Department of Psychology, University of Florida

Abstract: Classroom instruction in psychology presents many opportunities for teaching and assessing skills such as analysis and application. While the online teaching environment presents some challenges in translating these practices, creative applications of behavioral teaching strategies can facilitate skill development without face-to-face interaction. This presentation will focus on operationalizing outcomes at multiple levels beyond multiple-choice assessment performance using a behavioral version of Bloom’s taxonomy as a guide, and describe examples of instructional practices that can be used to facilitate these outcomes in both small- and large-enrollment asynchronous online courses.

Learning objectives:

Viewers of this presentation should be able to:

1. Give operational definitions of at least two levels of learning outcomes beyond remembering from Bloom’s taxonomy.

2. Describe how interteaching can be applied in an asynchronous online course.

3. Describe two benefits of student-led inquiry in an online course.
