Reflections Week 8.1
For Reflections for Tuesday, May 16, we would like you to comment
on the Reflections from last week and on the discussion in class on Thursday.
Please post to the e-post board by midnight Monday, May 15
your comments on one of the following topics:
Evaluation criteria we use put constraints on complexity of material and
creativity
i.e. To what extent do you find that the criteria we are using in class
constrain a) the complexity
of the material and/or b) the creativity that you might use in designing a
learning
activity.
What are the constraining factors, if any, and can you propose a possible
set of criteria that
could describe an 'effective' learning activity at a _general_ level
(that would not be constraining)?
What are the issues?
We have included the phrases
a) "Material: Appropriate level" and b) "Student-Centered: Builds on prior
knowledge"
in the criteria. What do those mean to you? Are those appropriate
criteria? If so, how
would you accomplish them? If not, how would you improve them, and how
would you accomplish
the improved criteria?
In the interests of keeping your assignment brief, you may submit comments
on only one of the above topics, but you are more than welcome to answer both,
AND you are welcome to discuss any additional topics.
