ASSIGNMENT

As an educational technology expert, you have been invited to a meeting of a parents’ association at a school that has recently introduced many innovative technologies for students. A great deal of taxpayers’ money was used to completely renovate the school’s technology infrastructure, and then acquire and deploy many new technology-based learning materials and instructional systems. Among the new materials are a series of simulation-based game environments known popularly as the SIMs. These games are highly interactive and allow students to manipulate about a half dozen variables in order to achieve a desired outcome such as maximizing the number of adults who vote in an election. The new learning technologies have been in the school for two years but there have been no noticeable changes in graduate rates, dropout rates, attendance, or scores on state and national tests. The parents are concerned that their investment has been wasted. You have been asked to testify as to whether or not that is the case, and why or why not.

Learning Activities
1. Identify and describe the key factors that you would consider in framing your response to the problem situation stated above.
2. Identify and describe the key factors that are likely to be in contention between parents, teachers, administrators, and designers.
3. Indicate and describe the relationships among all of the key factors that have been identified.
4. Indicate what things should be targets of change in order to make the best of this problematic situation.
5. Create an annotated concept map that reflects the things indicated in response to the previous four tasks.
6. Reflect on your responses and your concept map, and then describe the assumptions you have made and what resources would be required to implement the solution you have in mind; present this response in the form of a logic model that includes a theory of change.

DISCUSSION ESSAY

For this assignment, you will create the quality measurement plan that will be included in your white paper. Your quality measurement plan will identify and discuss the quality indicator(s) or measure(s) that you will use to decide if your identified solution will make a difference. Theoretically, this measure would be part of your organization’s quality improvement initiative for enhancing the safety of the specified technology hazard. Your goal is to create a realistic plan for evaluating the effectiveness of your specific solution. The indicator, or measure, should be narrow enough to assess the effectiveness of your specific solution.

Follow the steps below to complete this assignment.
Review your proposed solution to the technology hazard you selected in the first module.
Develop a structure, process, or outcome indicator or measure that can be used to evaluate the success of your proposed technology hazard solution. Depending on your solution, you may need to develop more than one indicator.

Write a one-page quality measurement plan that discusses the quality indicator(s) to measure the effectiveness of the proposed technology hazard solution and describes how you would implement this measure to include:
Who will monitor the measure?
How will the data be collected?
When and how often will the data be collected?
Your quality measurement plan must be one page in length. References are not required for this assignment.
