computer, hardware vs. software vs. firmware, interfaces and cables Learning Outcomes: Following this lesson, the student will be able to: 1. Describe a computer and basic components. 2. Differentiate between hardware, software, and firmware. 3. Compare and contrast various connection interfaces, cables and explain their purposes. 4. Connect common peripherals to standard ports. Recommended Textbooks: I.

OUTCOME 1 Learning Outcome: Describe a computer and basic components. Provide links to documents such as lecture notes, slide decks, handouts, discussion questions, answer keys, etc. Delivery Time: 15 minutes Teaching Tips: NSC Technical Curricula • • • • • 30+ Credits per pathway Traditional classroom delivery All course materials available as an Open Educational Resource on Platform+ > OPEN EdX* Additional interactive “sticking points” – short interactive lessons on more difficult content Comprehensive Program Guides providing information on all aspects of program adoption *Conversion to OER in progress: to be completed by 3/31/15 Second Deliverable: STEM Bridge National STEM Consortium Technical Proposal: “Each of the STEM pathways will include a STEM Bridge. The STEM Bridge will be programmatically consistent across the five fields and transferable to other colleges, and will integrate basic skills, workforce skills, computer skills, and job readiness training, contextualized within the pathway.” What is the STEM Bridge? STEM Bridge is a two-part strategy to provide support to learners in the STEM certificate programs. Part 1: “STEM Readiness” Course* Embedded contextualized online course built in OLI’s Platform+ system that quickly refreshes key skills for learners entering the credit certificates directly Part 2: “STEM Foundations” Course* Modularized set of curriculum “bundles” that can be adapted and inserted by colleges wherever needed to provide support for lower level learners who need to build foundational skills in Math and Workplace Communication before entering the credit certificates *STEM Readiness and Workplace Communication modules of STEM Foundations Course complete .

Adapt and contextualize for other career pathways using the same learning outcomes: • • Analyze information from multiple sources and determine appropriate actions for a given situation. Listen to a conversation and compose an effective summary of the information. • • • ARINC Air Operations Center Hospital Emergency Room Police Emergency Dispatch STEM Readiness: Learner Analytics • Students - instant feedback from the Learn By Doing and Did I Get This? activities and end of module quizzes • Instructors - view student mastery of learning outcomes in the instructor dashboard and tailor face to face instruction to help students who are having challenges with specific parts of the course • Colleges/Administrators – track usage STEM Readiness: Learner Analytics - Usage • March 2014: 4,428 users across the nation 3,082 in the free and open courses on OLI’s website • 1,346 students in academic sections primarily being used by NSC colleges • All 10 NSC Community colleges • At least one high school and one middle school • Job Corps in Maryland • Anne Arundel Workforce Development WIA Youth grant program • Industry - professional development • STEM Readiness: Partner Experience AACC: • • CLC: • • • Difference in terms of the students’ readiness for the technical courses Sequencing and contextualization makes a big difference CPTC: • • • • • WIA Youth Program GED Prep: STEM Readiness course used as foundation, augmented with science and history lessons. 14 of 14 students passed the GED – Historic success! STEM Readiness = employment readiness course Will be offered campus-wide Technical colleges/remedial students Connection between the STEM Readiness course and better overall grades in the college experience? Macomb CC: • Incorporating STEM Readiness course into Round 3 TAACCCT Grant STEM Foundations Twenty-two short modules focusing on the development of key skills that are lacking in lower level learners will be built in the Platform+ system. Examples: Identify main idea and supporting ideas and summarize. • Build a paragraph and write a short essay. • Prepare and deliver an effective presentation. • Apply Order of Operations in math. • Explain concept of a variable. • Industry Relevance Industry Subject Matter Experts • Contribute to technical and readiness content • Review completed courses and materials Industry Relevance Industry-Recognized Credentials • • • • • Composites: considering • Certified Production Technician (Manufacturing Skills Standards Council) • Certified Composites Technician (American Composites Manufacturers Assn.)
