Talk Abstract:
This presentation will describe how the World
Health Organization took an award-winning experiential learning course that
takes place on a bus traveling down the “cold chain” for time- and
temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products in Turkey, and moved it online as
an award-winning authentic tasks-based experiential learning environment. This
conversion was driven by the application of educational design research (also
known as design-based research). Similarities and differences in the objectives
of the two courses as well as of the learning activities, tools, and
technologies deployed in two courses will be illustrated. The presentation
concludes with examples of design principles that can be applied to the design of
other online experiential learning environments.
Thomas C. Reeves, PhD (Tom) is Professor Emeritus of Learning, Design, and Technology in
the College of Education at The University of Georgia. Before moving to
Georgia, he held positions at the Medical University of South Carolina and the
University of Maryland. He is former Fulbright Lecturer in Peru and he has been
an invited speaker in the USA and many other countries. In 1995, he was
selected as one of the “Top 100” people in multimedia by Multimedia Producer
magazine, and from 1997-2000, he was the editor of the Journal of
Interactive Learning Research. In 2003, he received the Fellowship
Award from the Association for the Advancement of Computing in Education
(AACE), in 2010 he was made a Fellow of the Australasian Society for Computers
in Learning in Tertiary Education (ASCILITE), and in 2013 he received the
Lifetime Award from the International Association for Development of the Information
Society (IADIS) as well as the David H. Jonassen
Excellence in Research Award from the Association for Educational
Communications and Technology (AECT). His books include Interactive Learning
Systems Evaluation (with John Hedberg), a Guide to Authentic ELearning
(with Jan Herrington and Ron Oliver), Conducting Educational Design Research
(with Susan McKenney), and MOOCs and Open Education Around the World (with Curt Bonk, Mimi
Lee, and Tom Reynolds). He currently serves as a consultant for the World
Health Organization on the development of authentic task-based e-learning for
public health personnel involved in pharmaceutical cold chain management as
well as for other clients on the design and evaluation of serious games and
simulations for healthcare personnel, first responders, and others. For more

Bonus Session (and book giveaway): 3:00-3:30 pm (same day)
Immediately after this
talk, Dr. Reeves and IU Professor Curt Bonk will briefly discuss their newly
edited book with Routledge, “MOOCs and
Open Education Around the World” as well as their
special journal issue on this topic. Each were published in early July 2015. Professors
Reeves and Bonk will give away signed copies of their book to anyone who comes
to the extra session and asks a question. For more on these books, see: http://moocsbook.com/. Don’t miss this chance for a free book.
