• The Take Quizzes, Exams, and Surveys section of the What We Will Do To Learn pages touches on how and why Canvas Quizzes support the course learning.

Suggestions for Improvement

• The description of how and why each technology supports course learning objectives could cite specific learning objectives.
• Each description of technology tools could name the tool specifically (Canvas pages, Canvas discussions, etc.)
  • The Observe section of the What We Will Do To Learn page could explain why Stellarium supports course learning objectives
  • The Organize Knowledge section of the What We Will Do To Learn page could explain why Quizlet supports course learning objectives
  • The Research and Present section of the What We Will Do To Learn page could explain why PowerPoint supports course learning objectives

A variety of technology is used in the course

Evidence

The Check Your Technology assignment describes use of video recording software (Kaltura), presentation slide software (PowerPoint), and astronomy simulation software (Stellarium). The Join A Star Group assignment indicates the student use of Canvas (HTML) pages in assignments and includes an exercise for embedding an image from a web site.

Suggestions for Improvement

Creating a single page where all technology skills are listed and perhaps coded to be indicated on assignmnets might help learners.

The course provides learners with information on protecting their data and privacy
