Implementation Plan Case Study for an e-learning module

Implementation plan for launching an e-learning module at an institute of higher learning. (Based on the ADDIE model)

Marketing Plan

The campus librarian will provide the plagiarism training course as a guest speaker during freshman level English composition courses.  All incoming students that are not required to take the English class will take the course at a separate time in the library or over the internet. 

A minimum number of students will be four and a maximum number of students will be 36 for any plagiarism training class so that the instructor will be able to individually assess students for subject matter comprehension difficulty.

Material Maintenance Procedures

Library personnel will keep plagiarism records, test results and signed pledge forms on file should a plagiarism incidence occur.  Administrators will pull student pledge forms as a documentation to support any disciplinary decisions. The librarian will keep a plagiarism journal of requests from professors to check on suspected plagiarism. 

Plagiarism test results will be maintained in a confidential folder by the campus librarian on the school administrative website.  Test results must be requested in writing by professors and administrators with a form stating the reason for requesting the results.  Results should never be tampered with in any way and all retests should be documented. 

Test results and plagiarism files should never be released outside of the university institution unless requested by the student in writing or court ordered.

All updates to the plagiarism pledge are allowed with proper citation.  Personal photos from the plagiarism pledge or other content and materials must first receive permission from the artist before being used for any marketing or monetary gains.    The University reserves the right to display and replace the pictures, voices, content, subject matter of the e-learning module or any educational supplements or testing associated with “The Plagiarism Pledge” to their liking (with proper citation) for educational purposes. 

Updates and original and previous versions will be documented and maintained on file by the university campus library personnel.  The plagiarism pledge, facilitator and learner guides will be presented to the library staff at the end of the fall semester.

Beta Testing

Participants: Two university staff and eight graduate students     

       

Purpose           

The purpose of beta testing is to test the elearning with a control group and fine tune its effectiveness so that components of the module flow together and are easily understood.

Agenda

·         Preview elearning module as a group.

·         Play portions of the e-learning on the projector.

·         Request verbal feedback from the audiences.

·         Request written feedback from the instructor.

·         Private consultation with SME.

·         SME does a separate extensive evaluation of content.

Assumptions Evaluated

·         Determine if content is easily understood.

·         Determine if examples are relevant.

·         Identify preface and introduction objectives.

·         Determine if topics transition smoothly.

·         Identify distracting visual aids.

·         Identify level of audience interest.

·         Determine that content is correct.

·         Determine appropriateness of formative evaluations.

Pilot

·         Undergraduate English Classes Spring Semester

·         Set up interactive e-learning on the university website

·         Facilitator runs e-learning in classroom setting.

·         Facilitator tries one class with small group activities and another with a selected whole group activity.

·         Students will sign plagiarism pledge and administer an online quiz.
