Contents
- 1 The learning activities promote the achievement of the stated learning objectives or competencies
- 2 Learning activities provide opportunities for interaction that support active learning
- 3 The instructor’s plan for interacting with learners during the course is clearly stated
- 4 The requirements for learner interaction are clearly stated
The learning activities promote the achievement of the stated learning objectives or competencies
Evidence
Videos, night/day sky observation sketching, in-class observation, all-class and small group discussions, individual, readings, digital flashcard creation and use, web page creation, development of a presentation on how past cultures interpreted the sky promote the achievement of the course objectives.
Suggestions for Improvement
Course learning objectives 7 and 9 have no aligned assignments that are explicitly labeled . Course learning objectives 8 and 10 have few aligned assignments. Reviewing these objectives and creating/aligning more activities with them would improve student success at achieving them. For each of them, learning check and exam questions test them; page-building activities provide initial guidance toward them; but explicit practice would be helpful.
Learning activities provide opportunities for interaction that support active learning
Evidence
Students create web pages following as series of prompt questions to show how they are building knowledge through their readings. Students participate in online discussions both with the entire class and with a small group for each module. Students also prepare a small presentation with a group over the course of several weeks, providing feedback to one another and recieving instructor feedback in the process.
Suggestions for Improvement
Emphasizing the thread of mutual reinforcement between online and face-to-face interactions would increase student participation during class.
