Forensic Science 25 and 35
•
Forensic 25 (3 credit) - substantial changes made to
the look of the course in recent months
•
•
•
•
Changes are largely aesthetic (images etc.)
Assessment and key changes are minor
Forensics 25 remains ADLC's highest enrollment and
highest completion rate course
Prerequisite for Forensics 35
•
Forensic 35 (3 credit) will undergo the same
evergreening as Forensic 25 course with the next
print run.
•
Forensics 35 (5 credit) launched in Sept. 2010
Chemistry 20, 30 & Science 20, 30
•
•
Currently, resources available via CD will be converted to USB drives
that contain all of the course content, simulations, and assessments
Timeline: As soon as we run out of CDs in each course, future
production will be available only on sticks; CDs are becoming
extinct.
Fast Track
• Diagnostic tutorial tool that provides students with an
alternative pathway (actually multiple pathways) to progress
through an online course (a course within a course).
How Fast Track Works:
• Course is divided into sections - units, modules, etc.
• Each section begins with a diagnostic test that tests every concept in the
section
• If student succeeds at a certain test item, they skip the relevant lesson(s)
that teach these concepts.
• If student performs poorly on a particular test item, immediate feedback
is provided and is linked to the relevant lesson tutorial
• At conclusion of a tutorial, the student writes a quiz to demonstrate
understanding before returning to the diagnostic tool at which time the
student gets another opportunity at another question that tests the same
concept the student got wrong previously.
Students Who will Benefit Most From Fast Track?
•
•
•
•
•
All students because they are provided with individualized
instruction during which their time is used most efficiently
(on the concepts they find challenging).
Students who took prerequisite course a long time ago.
Students who performed poorly but passed the prerequisite
course.
Students who passed the course already but need to
upgrade their mark.
Students from other school jurisdictions or educational
systems for which readiness for a course cannot be easily
predicted.
Tentative Fast Track Timeline:
•
John Pachkowski (ADLC Chem teacher and creator of Fast Track)
hopes to launch a pilot with Chem 20 students, possibly starting
as early as this spring.
Physics
Physics 30
•
•
•
print course currently being evergreened
• to make navigation easier and eliminate contradictory
instructions.
• at conclusion, print and online assessments will be the
same.
unit review assessments are being added to both the print
and online courses
target release date - Sept. 2011
Physics 20
•
•
will undergo equivalent evergreening next year.
target release date = Sept. 2012.
Science 10 Project
• In Sept. 2011, a partnership with R.F. Staples High School (Westlock) for
a 21st Century Learning pilot will occur
• Staples’ approx. 70 students from several feeder schools in two
sections of Sci. 10 will be in 1 class taught in a traditional way by one
teacher, with a 2nd teacher responsible for determining which students
are deficient in certain skills or prerequisite knowledge.
• The 2nd teacher will pull students from class when necessary, provide
specialized tutorials and/or labs. After achieving success, students
rejoin regular class.
• A complex system of randomly generated diagnostic, formative, and
summative tests, are being devised with several versions of each that
address the same concepts so small groups of students can complete
tests when they are ready to do so without compromising the security of
the tests.
• Students will be allowed to advance ahead of the class, finish before
semester end, if appropriate, or may be allowed to complete the
course more slowly after the end of the semester if required.
