Michelle Friend conversation scoping WorkLearn collaboration

WorkLearn

Multiple hypotheses.

• We know that MOOCs don’t really work for underprivileged populations.
• But could MOOCs work with micropayments?
• We call these micro-internships.
• Do these increase learners’ persistence in learning?

Working on creating three learning modules outfitted in this way.

• Industry partners to get learners paid internships afterwards.

• Module on computational thinking.

• Module on python.

  • We need a thing that teaches python to people who may or may not know anything about programming.
  • It’s all going to live in a Google classroom.
  • For a dollar a page, you will learn a thing and take a quiz.
  • Periodically, small projects.

• Module on COBOL.

NEXT STEPS:

• Put together scope of work
• Deliverables:
  • learn topic (10-25)
  • project (10-20)
  • challenge (5)
  • peer review (5)
  • weekly attitude surveys (10)
• LTI
• List some questions.
• Timeline: Late Winter. (March?)
