Thread:Thought about activity template (3)

Hi Irwin,

Not confusing at all -- I really like the three strategies for engaging in the course. Another reason why it would be useful to have separate pedagogical templates for each category of engagement.

Do you envisage a challenge exam option for final credit -- or will this be a course-based portfolio or combination of both?

I like the freedom of choice of working alone versus engaging with other learners. Its easy enough to embed the P2P interaction activities within the materials (Microbblogs, forum posts, blog posts etc.) These become optional in the sense of whether the learner decides to participate.

On the assessment side of things -- you could give the learners choice on whether they want to work publicly or privately by the technologies they choose. Eg a portfolio assessment item posted on a public blog versus working on a local document which is saved and then submitted with the final portfolio.

This is going to be a fun design to put together.
