Human-Computer Interaction:
Reflective Statement
Official Artifact Name: Collaborative Learning Project - Presentation: Human-Computer Interaction
Course for which the Artifact was Developed: LI 802 Theoretical Foundations of Service Diagnosis and Customization with Mirah Dow
SLIM Program Outcome: PO2
SLIM Professional Values: PV4
The syllabus states that the purpose of this course is to understand theories and characteristics of information-seeking behavior in order to create and deliver customized solutions to information needs.
There was a very large theory base for this course: Kuhlthau's Information Search Process, Zipf's Principle of Least Effort, and Dervin's Sense-Making all played a part. The largest theoretical backing for my presentation were the discussions and course resources on learning styles and multiple intelligences.
This artifact was a presentation developed on several topics having to do with Human-Computer Interaction. These topics were selected by a group and then presented to that group after individual development of the presentation. The presentation was to take into account the multiple learning styles present in the group.
In preparing this artifact I took into account the idea that my group members learned best in different ways. Some learned best through a traditional lecture/presentation. Some learned best through physical involvement. In order to accommodate these varied learners, my presentation could be followed in a non-linear fashion, with an activity or procedure keyed to different learning styles selectable for each topic.
In evaluating the learning styles of my group members and developing a presentation with multiple ways of addressing topics, I exhibited Program Outcome 2. I developed a collection of resources and methods of instruction to meet varied information needs through the same instructional tool. Professional Value 4 was also exhibited in this artifact through the development of the presentation as a tool for sharing information with my fellow future information professionals.
