Using Student Generated Notes as an Interface to a Digital Repository

This project explores the use of student-generated notes as an interface to a digital repository, enabling non-linear exploration of content and increasing note taking and review. The goal is to increase the overall use, value, and relevance of online content in the course.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Using Student Generated Notes as an Interface to a Digital Repository Lonnie D. Harvel GVU Brown Bag September 30th, 2004

  2. Motivation • “Both faculty and students use and like electronic resources and most readily adopt them if the sources are perceived as convenient, relevant, and time saving to their natural workflow.” (Tenopir – 2003, Council on Library & Information Resources)

  3. Embedded Access • Key terms are identified in student notes • Terms are matched to a list of key terms in a content database • Content database created for CNT project • A link to the set of relevant content is embedded into the student notes • Relevant content is ordered by level of difficulty • Based on chapter association

  4. Making Notes Interactive • Opens the door to non-linear exploration of the content • Begins exploration at the “Point of Reference” of the students notes • May motivate increased note taking and review of notes • May motivate students to update and expand notes

  5. Content Types in ECE 2025 • Book • CDROM • ‘WORD’ Site • Captured Lectures (Video) • WebCT Site

  10. Definition of Success • We will be looking for three specific changes that will signify a positive impact: • An increase in the overall use of online content • An increase in the perceived value and relevance of the content • And a change in the usage patterns that reflect a broader use of the content over the entire semester.

  14. What is ECE 2025 • Sophomore level course: Signal Processing First • Initial course in Electrical and Computer Engineering curriculum • Two 1-hour lectures • One 1.5-hour recitation • One 1.5-hour lab

  15. Summary of Use • The Websites (WORD & WebCT) are preferred over the CDROM • Use of content is generally in line with other successful educational repositories • Use of Streaming Video Content is rising • Use of content over the semester is “spiky”

  16. What we do know • Perseus Digital Library Project – 17 years old, 37,000 unique users, less than 11% use the content on a regular basis. • MIT Open CourseWare - 8% use content on a regular basis. • The CLIR study showed lower percentage of regular use for general digital libraries.
