This week focused on synthesizing the content learned within EDUC-762, Assessments in E-Learning, into an a final product within my website. In a previous class I began the development of an asynchronous course termed Common Assessments for Student Learning. Its creation originated due to a need for teachers to be offered asynchronous professional development around a topic within a local school district. I began the instructional design within one course but have continue to build and develop its content and process through this course.

When time permits in the future I would like to take all the cards for each module and lesson and create an e-book as an electronic "kit" to pull from. Please take some time to review my final artifact of learning within my portfolio. This project can be located in Course Assessments and Alignment tab within this webiste. Please feel free to navigate through the various pages to learn about the course I am developing, the tools I am creating through the design process as well as connections to research to support best practices in education. Enjoy! |
This week was filled with many hours of creation and synthesis. It was challenging yet helped me understand the true power of constructivist learning. I was practicing the theories that I was embedded into my own course displayed above. Our discussion board for this week was not required. This was truly helpful so I could focus on the project and commit my time there. I am looking forward to feedback from peer reviews for the final week of this course as well as comments from blog to tweak my project to its optimal state. At this point, I think I have a strong, final artifact of learning and have given my full efforts in creating what I believe is of high-quality, professional, relevant, and useful in my professional role.
The video above was create through Screencast-o-matic, a web 2.0 tool. I have chosen this tool as a variation from Google Hangouts and YouTube; both tools I already have experience with. It's use was effortless and potentially free. I chose to upgrade to the $15 USD pro account for further flexibility with video time and audio capabilities. I was unsure of the length of my presentation so for the minimal cost it was an easy decision to upgrade. I would recommend this tool, including the pro version, for those that would like to record screencasts, embed and/or save them in various formats with little effort.
