A Prospectus among us

Presentation


Assumptions

  • Legislative mandates for both Holocaust and online courses, coupled with increases in online enrollments necessitate the creation of virtual Holocaust education courses
    • FS 1003.42 Required Holocaust Education Mandate Public School Instruction http://www.fldoe.org/policy/task-forces-committees-commissions/task-force-on-holocaust-edu/fs-1003-42-required-holocaust-edu-mate.stml
    • CS/CS/HB 7191- Digital Learning http://www.myfloridahouse.gov/sections/Bills/billsdetail.aspx?BillId=46852
    • There is a difference between how face-to-face and online Holocaust courses should be taught.
    • Holocaust courses present unique challenges in terms of online course creation (Instructional Design issues). ​

theoretical issues

  • Social Constructionism- Let’s make meaning together!
  • History Education vs. Human Rights Education
  • Need more exposure to Distance Education research to find the theoretical overlap
    • Coming Summer 2016!
  • Alternative methods: ?
    • I’m sure there’s plenty I’ve yet to be exposed to, could change the entire face of the project if given the chance

Lit Review

  • History of Holocaust Ed → Current state & debate
    • Fallace, Lazar & Hirsch, Totten, Littell
  • History of Distance Ed → Current state & debate
    • iNACOL, need more specifics behind theories
  • How to teach the Holocaust: “Best Practices”
  • How to teach online: “Best Practices”
  • Teaching Holocaust digitally, but not fully about how to teach it in an online course
    • Berson & Haas, Lazar & Hirsch

Research Problem

  • If the current methods of developing and offering Holocaust courses online continue, courses are going to continue to do a disservice to the students and instructors alike (suck).
  • A lot of research needs to be done in how to properly develop and implement Holocaust courses online

research questions

  • In what ways do online Holocaust course offerings align with the “best practices” of the fields of distance learning and human rights education?
  • How should future online Holocaust course offerings be developed in conjunction with the “best practices” of distance learning and human rights education?

General research plan

Picture

difficulties & pitfalls

  • Size of data set could be either too large or too small, will require exploration before collection
  • Replicability of results will be limited to Florida
  • Exemplar chapter may be unnecessary, burdensome
  • Breadth and depth of research body could be difficult to navigate, limit in Lit Review

benefits

  • “Best Practices” for online Holocaust courses
  • Exemplar curriculum model
  • Reconsideration of prevailing ID/SME relationship
  • Possible changes to existing Florida online Holocaust courses
