Adaptive Path :: Experience Mapping - 0 views

A free downloadable guide on mapping customer experience. I think it would be really interesting to adapt this to a course - especially hybrid or online - for instructors to get a sense of where students hit the "trouble spots," the "low points,' and the "high points."

Collection of SketchNotes on a wide variety of topics. An interesting alternative to the traditional outline / long-hand format of note-taking. I've noticed many students don't seem to have a good grasp on taking and organizing class notes. I wonder what introducing this as an option would do for them?

Something to check in on later as they develop ... "The OSP's mission is to build a large-scale online collection of syllabi and to build foundational tools for analyzing it in order to advance scholarly inquiry, promote institutional cooperation, and foster pedagogical diversity. We believe that this critical mass of syllabi will stimulate new research tools, drive policy change, foster best practices, provide new metrics, and aid in the search, discovery, and the development of new course materials."
