The main goal of this project is to develop engaging and effective course content for Toyz's game-based and adaptive learning platform, that introduces minority and underserved students to STEAM skills and knowledge, and prepares them for STEAM careers. The aim is to increase access and equity in STEAM education, and to improve learning outcomes for these students.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
- Conduct a needs assessment: Identify the skills and knowledge that minority and underserved students need to develop for STEAM careers. This may involve reviewing industry research and trends, consulting with educators and subject matter experts, and analyzing student performance data.
- Design learning objectives and outcomes: Develop clear and measurable learning objectives that align with the identified skills and knowledge areas. These objectives should be tied to specific learning outcomes that students can achieve through the courses.
- Create course content: Develop engaging and interactive course content that uses game-based and adaptive learning principles to help students achieve the identified learning outcomes. This may involve designing interactive simulations, exercises, and quizzes, as well as creating multimedia content such as videos, animations, and graphics.
- Conduct user testing and evaluation.
