Implementation Models

Making the Best Use of Khan Academy with Your Students

2

Implement for Student Needs

 Consider your students’ needs

 Self-study resource

 Accuplacer or classroom supplementation

 Tool for supported study

 Student self-pacing or extra support

 Looping back to fill knowledge gaps or moving ahead

 Boot Camp programs

 Targeted Playlists

 Meet full semester course objectives

 Developmental math and technical training courses

 Blended Learning

 Missions

3

Choosing an Implementation Model

 Choose a model based on your intended outcomes

 What are you trying to assess?

 How are you planning to assess?

 Which implementation model works best in light of your instructional choices and your students’ needs?

4

What Are You Trying to Assess?

 Diagnostic Gaps

 Targeted Intervention

 Diagnosis of Learning Challenges

 Real-time student progress data – collaboration, competition, Energy Points, inspiration

 Course Objectives

 Missions or customized curriculum mapping

 Content Mastery

 Mastery Challenges

5

Assessment Possibilities

 Pre/Post Accuplacer Scores

 Pencil and paper homework, quizzes and tests

 Weekly Khan Academy Homework

 Number of Khan Academy minutes completed as a percentage of number of minutes assigned

 Can motivate and inspire, but early Khan Academy analytics have not indicated a correlation with student success

 Mastery Check-in

 Percent of skills Mastered at mid-semester and end of semester ~ or whenever you want

 Early Khan Academy analytics have indicated a correlation with student success

 We recommend a blend of Time on Task with Mastery Challenges for a blend of student accountability and evidences of learning.

6

Implementation Possibilities

 Supplemental Material

 Use prior to taking criterion referenced or placement exams

 Organized to encourage student self-study

 Consider using Playlists, Curriculum Maps, or Student Study Plans

 Blended Learning Tool

 Use to meet full semester course objectives

 Khan Academy resources used in conjunction with classroom instruction

 Consider using Missions, Playlists, Curriculum Maps, or Student Study Plans

 Choose the best (most appropriate) possibility

 Note crossover potential in choosing options

7

Supplemental Implementation Options:

Playlists and Curriculum Maps

 Playlists – Skills and Videos to study.

 Especially important for students who are not using Missions

 Recommended for all implementation models

 Common Kinds:

 Foundational: Top 10 – 20 skills

 Unit: Top 5 – 10 skills

 Test Prep: Targeted topics for exams

 Differentiated: Two Playlists – Basic and Advanced (used for self-pacing)

 Project: Prerequisite skills to complete a project

8

Supplemental Implementation Options:

Playlists and Curriculum Maps

 How to Create Playlists and Curriculum Maps

 Identify skills and concepts

 Find relevant content on Khan Academy

 Write down or create electronic links to content

 Word.doc with live links or links from your learning platform (Moodle, Blackboard, etc.)

 Guide students through playlist

 Set goals – Exam Topics, Homework, Time needed to prepare or complete assignment

 Specific due dates or self-pacing with target completion time

 Work and self-check progress

 Use Coach Recommendations to help students stay on task

9

Blended Learning Implementation

Options

 Blended Learning – combines live instruction with computer and online learning activities

 Includes moving some classroom activities online (Flipped Classroom)

 Joins best aspects of live and online instruction.

 Class time to engage students in advanced interactive experiences

 Online portion can:

 Prepare students for classroom activities

 Allow for working ahead or looping back

 Address individual student needs

10

Blended Learning Implementation

Options: Using Missions

 Missions:

Guide students through course level content

Give students compelling goals to reach completion

Help students fill in learning gaps

Let students move ahead at their own pace or loop back to review and master topics

11

Blended Learning Implementation

Options: Using Missions

 Use Missions alongside your curriculum

 Assign mission level skills that align to your Course Objectives

 Students use Khan Academy during class and for homework

 Use Missions to supplement your class

 Students work on Khan Academy outside of your class

12

Blended Learning Implementation Options:

Classroom Organization

 Station Rotation

 Students rotate through stations as individuals or small groups

 Targeted assignments or playlists

 Small group seminars with instructor

 Lab Rotation

 Class rotates between instructor led classroom and computer lab

 Small groups or whole class: Assigned or self-paced work

 Interactive Classroom
