dol1: Lesson Planning: The Missing Link in e-Learning Course Design - 7 views

  • Lesson plans are merely templates that can guide the development of good e-Instruction, saving much time and effort by minimizing revisions and misunderstandings."
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      I am not sure why lessons plans are seen as a negative.  Anyone delivering learning whether to students or professional learning for adults should be engaging in purposeful planning.
  • How would the learner know that?
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      I am lucky to work with the professionals I do.  They alert me to situations in my online courses that need more direction development and do so in an understanding manner.  I am teaching a course for the 11th time and there will be tweaks made again to try and provide the best experience possible.
  • Our learners want to jump in and take just the training they want and need to perform a task.
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      This is an area I struggle with.  Trying to gauge the level of the room to provide enough instruction that everyone can preform the tasks without frustration or boredom.

      It seems that there has been all this buzz about formative assessment like it is a new thing. For ever teachers have been using formative assessment to guide instruction on a daily basis. I appreciate that is has gotten attention so that teachers can collaborate to build assessments together and analyze data.
  • Formative assessment is not an adjunct to teaching but, rather, integrated into instruction and learning with teachers and students receiving frequent feedback.
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      Helping educators integrate the formative assessment process is key to helping them be successful. They can't see it as one more thing to do.
  • evidence-based feedback
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      The Iowa Core aides the process of giving feedback as it provides specific student targets.

  • the rubrics their institution developed can be used to reliably score the performance-based and problem-solving assignments that now form a significant part of the undergraduate engineering curriculum at the University of California at Berkley.
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      I find this encouraging that rubrics and standards based assessment is being done at a college level.
  • When instructors plan on grading student thinking and not just student knowledge, they should articulate the vital features that they are looking for and make these features known to the student.
    • Holly Palmersheim
       
      I believe this is where it is important to have models of different levels of student work with explanations why the work is at that level.
