Data Summary | 80 % of students were observed and stated that they could use a browser and search engine and that they understood social media. The remaining 20% were able to complete 80% of the assessment criteria. None of the students were interested in using social media, largely because of privacy issues. |
Analysis Summary | Students achieved the outcome if they showed that they could properly use a browser and a search engine. The use of social media could not be ascertained because of the lack of interest by the students in using it. |
Next Steps Planned | Given the success of learning how to use one browser and search engine, I will introduce additional browsers and search engines. I will introduce the topic online privacy and teach students how to ensure it. I will also: continue to review topics as tested in the criteria often; ask that students continually demonstrate understanding of concepts to reinforce newly learned skills; build the lessons to include re-demonstration of the previous lesson before presenting new topics; repeat directions and practice every class; and create new assignments to better clarify computer terms that will make using search engines and browsers easier. This will be done in Fall 2013. |
Learning Outcomes | The outcome that students will be able to use a browser, search engine and social media. |

Activities | Implementation of planned changes and reassessment |
More Details | I will update the course outline to revise the SLO. Given the success of learning how to use one browser and search engine, I will introduce additional browsers and search engines. I will introduce the topic online privacy and teach students how to ensure it. During the semester, I will observe students' ability to learn how to use more than one search engine and browser. In addition, I will assess whether the lesson on privacy changed attitudes about using social media. I will conduct an end-of-the semester self-assessment to ascertain each students assessment of their ability to apply these skills. I will also: continue to review topics as tested in the criteria often; ask that students continually demonstrate understanding of concepts to reinforce newly learned skills; build the lessons to include re-demonstration of the previous lesson before presenting new topics; repeat directions and practice every class; and create new assignments to better clarify computer terms that will make using search engines and browsers easier. This will be done in Fall 2013. |
