Barry "Lee"
Burkett
Cincinnati, Ohio Area
Barry Burkett works with subject matter experts to relate their knowledge and content to students in non-traditional classroom models; i.e., asynchronous distance education. Collaborating with the instructor, the arc of instruction is reviewed with learning objectives to facilitate positive student outcomes.

Burkett draws on his experiences helping adult education programs to integrate technology with their programming to benefit post-secondary classrooms. Working with instructors to use technology that encourages collaboration,gives a classroom experience, and helps define pedagogical concerns while offering solutions.

Seeing technology integration as important to preparing adult education students to be college and career ready for the 21st century Burkett developed rubrics for instructors and programs to use for self-evaluation, as well as open source tools to allow instruction of technology skills being delivered in the traditional classroom.

Beyond collaborating on distance education projects, technology integration and implementation Burkett speaks to groups of varying sizes, works with individual adult education centers and delivers professional development.

Currently Burkett is also working on new education delivery models that combine traditional classroom and distance education models.

Publications

  • Transferring Information from Faculty Development to Classroom Practice: A Mixed-Method Study

    The Journal for Faculty Development

    Professional learning communities (PLCs) are an effective way for faculty to learn about pedagogical topics and tactics. However, less is known about how effective they are at changing the teaching practices of the faculty participants and ultimately student learning. This article describes a mixed-method study of such a transfer of knowledge. In this case, the pedagogical topic was metacognition, effortful learning in particular. We describe the PLC, how effortful learning was incorporated into one class, and the results of that change in practice. We found that effortful learning (using a jigsaw classroom activity) improved student learning and student perceptions of instruction.
