This weeks objectives, as listed in our course material, are:
- Integrate learning objectives with authentic online assessment
- Diagram and map course plans and assessment preferences through the use of mind mapping software
- Coordinate and engage in virtual teamwork
- Evaluate use of the jigsaw method as a form of online assessment
- Define further assessment terms.
We have gotten into our groups this week and had some dialogue (ours is the Cookie Monster Group). Our first group project involves each of us taking an assessment tool, and creating a one page report about that tool. The report will include an introduction of the tool, uses, benefits, weaknesses, challenges, examples of use in education and one learning objective connected to the tool. We will be creating our midterm project using the jigsaw method. This means that we all add in a page of work that then gets edited to create one document. I have chosen to report on Blogger, which is a reflection assessment tool.
Another project we had this week was to take a class were are currently teaching (or one we would like to teach someday) and create a concept map from three modules' learning objectives. I used bubbl.us to create my map. The course I used is a course I recently created. I have never taught this course but would very much like to someday. It is a course dealing with captive crane genetic management.
By using this concept mapping tool, I was better able to see how each module and objective connects with each other. None of my modules stood completely on its' own. I can see how I would use some objectives to complete others.
