EDET
755- Design and
Evaluation of Information Access and Delivery, Summer 2018 with
Dr. Erin
Besser
Assignment:
In this course, I
learned about distance learning and how to best develop an online
course,
complete with a syllabus, rubrics and five learning modules. Each
learning
module was comprised of an Overview, Learning Objectives, Lesson
Materials and
Instruction, Learning Activities, Evaluation Activities.
I developed a comprehensive and operable
syllabus. This was where I stated course expectations, created policies
and
procedures, and developed my grading scale and rubrics. In this way, I
was able
to refer students to the expectations and policies in the syllabus
instead
reiterating them in each assignment in each module.
Reflection:
I really enjoyed
this course and was glad to have taken it in the summer when I was not
teaching
full time. I dove deep into developing course details. This was a great
opportunity to integrate Universal Design for Learning that I
researched in
EDET 735. I crafted a selection of real-world tasks that offered choice
to my
learners all within the Course Sites/Blackboard Learning Management
System.
Before this course,
it never occurred to me how much work it was to create a full course
that was
outlined in advance of it being administered. After all of the policies
and
expectations were established, I was able to sink my teeth into the fun
part:
designing learning activities that asked the learner to actively use
the skills
presented in the lesson. As a French teacher, I was able to move beyond
simple
vocabulary recall and practice drills: Instead, I assessed and
evaluated
student mastery through recorded performances.
I am proud of the
deliverables from this course, because I accommodated learner
diversity,
and I
used novel tools for students to submit evidence of their learning.
When I
finished the course, if felt so satisfying to see all of the learning
activities that I would then be able to offer to the subsequent year's
French classes.
