Principal Investigator: Helena Baert, SUNY Cortland Physical education teachers are in the business of teaching children to become physically literate. Physically literate individuals move with competence and confidence in a wide variety of physical activities in multiple environments that benefit the healthy development of the whole person. In order for teachers to encourage physical literacy, they must have the ability to accurately observe, analyze and assess movement skills. The aim of this project is to develop a mastery-based online course in movement analysis. Master- based learning is focused on the premise that student teachers must show competency in order to progress through the coursework. The goal for this course is to help student teachers gain the knowledge and skills needed to apply motor development theory when analyzing and correcting movement skills and consequently provide students with congruent feedback that enhances their learning. This course will be developed and shared through the OPEN SUNY Learning Commons.

Awarded Grant: $20,000 Principal Investigator: David Youhess, University at Buffalo Self-guided online career modules will be created to expand access for individualized career decision- making and job-search guidance. This collaborative University effort will have the potential (upon taken to scale) to be accessible for all students and alumni that are part of the SUNY system. This endeavor will open new avenues for the accessing of career services, will increase the flexibility of the service provided, and will better cater to the diversity of student learning styles as users will be “self-pacing” throughout the modular experience. Evidence-based outcomes that demonstrate the effectiveness of the instructional innovation and user self-efficacy will be incorporated into the project. The first module (which is the focus of this grant application) will constitute career exploration and self-assessment while topics such as career decision making, networking, resume writing, interviewing, and success at your first job would follow in subsequent modules.

Principal Investigator: Krista Vince Garland, Buffalo State The goal of this project is to pilot the TeachLivE™ virtual simulation classroom laboratory (housed at Buffalo State) among interested departments at the college, local k-12 administrative personnel, and SUNY Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs). The project will explore opportunities for leveraging the Power of SUNY to create an innovative academic program through which students and faculty across a range of disciplines and SUNY colleges collaborate to infuse in-vivo learning within the safety of the lab to effectively prepare and enhance teacher preparation programs within the SUNY system. Project Investigators will host three separate missioned full day workshops within the virtual classroom, conduct a mixed methods research study, and disseminate information from findings to stakeholders. Artifacts from this project will include the development of template curricula to guide other SUNY departments who are considering the establishment of a TeachLivE™ simulation lab and will be represented in the SUNY Learning Commons.

Principal Investigator: R Hope Adams, Empire State College This workshop will demonstrate how to design, develop, and implement pedagogically rich reusable learning objects (RLO), which can be shared and re-used through the SUNY Learning Common. The advantages of RLO include the ability to provide significant interaction between the learner and the instructional program, with instructor input also playing a critical role in an automated environment. The workshop will consider instruction delivery models, a consideration of instructional case studies, and using technical tools to design, develop, and create a RLO in any content/curricular area.
