The resource will give a description of the tool, a video, a pros and cons list, and a SECTIONS analysis. The description will allow instructors to quickly understand whether the tool has any chance of fitting their needs, quickly rejecting ones that do not. The video will further demonstrate whether the tool fits their needs by showing how the tool works. The pros and cons list will allow instructors to better contrast this tool with other tools. The SECTIONS analysis allows instructors to gain a deeper understanding as to the educational effectiveness of this tool. All of these will be very concise, allowing instructors to quickly decide what resource will be best for their instructional activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Tools<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Provide a summary of the tools that you will use to develop your digital learning resource and clearly justify why you would like to use them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This digital learning resource will use a combination of text, video, a forum, and a quiz. These components will be hosted in a learning management course shell. Looking to the updated Bates SECTIONS model, this solution will address many of the points.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students will be able to access this solution on a wide range of devices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Easy to use by all<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cost will be essentially free<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Teaching or pedagogical value will be significant<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interaction and\/or collaboration between students will be promoted by the use of a forum where students (instructors) can discuss solutions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Organizational support needed is modest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Networking beyond the course for students will be promoted by suggesting Twitter hashtags to start learning technology conversations with.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Security and privacy of students will be respected by making this a private digital learning resource. Personal information will be stored in Canada at the organization, and communication beyond the confines of the digital learning resource will be optional.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Assessment Plan<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Describe any assessment and\/or evaluation methods that you will use to ensure the audience has achieved the intended learning goals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An online quiz will allow users to self-assess that they achieved the learning outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Learning Theories &amp; Instructional Design Principles Used<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Identify the specific learning theories and instructional design principles that will be used in the creation of your digital learning resource and include an explanation of how the theories and principles will inform the design of your digital learning resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The main learning theory used here is constructivism, which &#8220;equates learning with creating meaning from experience&#8221; (Ertmer, 2013, p. 55). Instructors will construct their own meaning, relative to their context, which will be different for each instructor. The design of the digital learning resource will provide information that is relevant to the context of most instructors, allowing it to be an efficient learning resource.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Instructions for Use and Plan for Use<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">: Describe how the digital learning resource will be used. If it is an open resource, how will you share it publicly, and if it is not an open resource, why not, and how it will be shared\/used in context etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the purpose of this assignment, the digital learning resource will be a learning management system course shell that users need to be manually added to. This will allow assessment, student-student and student-instructor interaction, and privacy. Users will read content, watch videos, optionally choose to interact with other students or the instructor in forums, and optionally choose to network with users beyond the confines of the course by using Twitter. Users may be able to assess their understanding of the content by completing online quizzes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For the authentic use of this digital learning resource outside of the confines of this assignment, it will be made public on a website without assessment or student-student and student-instructor interaction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>References<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bates, A.
