Open Education Resource: Structural Engineering

(Shear force & Bending Moment)About the OERThe open education resource is a collection of Shear Force & Bending moment Lesson activities that are useful as out-of-class activity while flipping the classroom.

v OER is downloadable from: www.et.iitb.ac.in/~jkmadathil/et4et/oer.html

v Target Audience: Second year Engineering Students (Civil Engineering & Mechanical Engineering)

v Tags: Shear Force & Bending Moment, Beams, Reactions, Educational Technology, Engineering Students

v OER developed using licensed Microsoft office and evaluation version of screencast-o-matic.

Learning ObjectivesAfter using this OER, the learner will be able to:

• Identify the Types of beams• Types of loadings.• Solve reactions of supports.• Draw Shear Force & Bending Moment.

Section 2: Design DecisionsNature of Decisions taken

The design decisions involved in the creation of this OER were of broadly three types:

1. Content Decisions

2. Pedagogic Decision

3. Technology Decisions

4. Assessment Decisions

Content DecisionsThe content decisions related to:

a. Topics to be covered in detail– Introduction to Shear Force & Bending moment, Classification of Beams, Types of Loadings, Types of Supports.

b. Lessons in the form of videos are presented in the websitehttps://akulprakash93.wordpress.com/

Pedagogic DecisionsTypically in a flipped classroom strategy, there are two segments – Out-of-class segment and In-Class segment. The out-of-class segment requires student to refer to some given material (Video, Text etc) and form an understanding about the concepts that are relevant. In terms of concept marking the pedagogic decisions that were taken for the Out-of-class segment related to:

a. Cognitive Levels of Questions to be asked along with the resources – Mostly Recall to Apply level question for out of class and Create Level question for In-class

b. Assessment Strategies – Multiple choice questions for out of class, Team-Pair-Solo strategy for in-class

Technology DecisionsWhile developing the Out-of-Class and In-class activities, the major technology decisions taken were:


https://akulprakash93.wordpress.com/

a. Tool to be used for creating screencast – Jing, as it had a time limit of 5 minutes and provided option for creating videos as .swf files that can be directly played from browser.

b. MOODLE Lesson Activity for setting up Out-of-Class segment as it allowed guided self-learning.

How to use this OERFor using this OER, please visit https://akulprakash93.wordpress.com/ .To view lesson videos make sure that you have high speed connectivity.

Step 1: Download the set of videos from the site

Step 2: Watch the out of class lesson videos through the links provided in the site before attending the class

Step 3: Follow the TPS activity provided in the Flipped Classroom activity PPT for higher level learning in Class Activity.Step 4: Attempt the quiz provided in flipped classroom activity PPT for assessment

Best Practices with Lesson ActivityHere are some of the best practices from our experience on using this Lesson Activity in classroom:

1. Provide this activity at least 1 week in advance.2. Provide incentive for students who have completed out of class activity

(i.e. watching videos and Attempting Quiz, etc). 3. Engage students in active learning by using TPS activity, Peer Learning

and brain storming. 4. Provide additional open source tools.



Section 4: Evaluating Effectiveness of OER

The OER effectiveness can be assessed at two levels:

1. At the student level2. At the consumer level

Effectiveness at the student levelEffectiveness at the student level involves metrics related to student access of the resource and student learning.

The assessment through quiz provided in the OER can be used to evaluate this effectiveness, with the report showing the total number of students who accessed the reports (along with time) and their marks (based on their answers to MCQs). Additionally there is an option for teacher to grade essays and these marks also will be calculated if needed.

Effectiveness at consumer levelOER consumers are typically teachers who want their students to learn shear force & bending moment,linking a survey on three main constructs – Ease of Use, Concept Coverage and Concept Complexity, can help in identifying the effectiveness of this OER at consumer level. This has to be done as a follow-up activity.

Implementing SurveyThus every user who downloads this resource will be asked their email address and as a follow up the survey will be send to their email address.

Section 6: Building a Community of MOODLE and Flipped Classroom

AdoptersPossible Sources for Community BuildingSome of the viable sources for building a community are:

• Teachers who are using MOODLE• Teachers who plan to use Flipped Classroom Strategies

Plans for Community BuildingThe resource is already available in the https://akulprakash93.wordpress.com/ and its access requires the users to provide their email id. Thus there will be a list of interested users whom we can follow up using email. All the interested users can then be connected using a local Wordpress or Moodle website.
