Instructor comments on your instructional analysis and objectives -- Jz833665 21:54, 2 November 2010 (EDT)

Great to see your portfolio page up! The analysis and planning you've posted points to a productive design project. A few comments:

Include a section on learner analysis: what do they know and lack? Are you going to address the need of students from different disciplines?

Study, writing, project management involve a broad range of skills and strategies. You may narrow down a little bit to 1-2 aspects.

You need a section listing your course-level performance objectives to further elaborate the learning outcomes you identified. e.g., be able to give a definition of metacognition? explain why it is important for learning success? demonstrate...

You're in a good shape to move on!

Group Review -- Ashley Setter 13:12, 23 November 2010 (EST)

Learning outcomes: It is clear that your expected learning outcomes have been properly identified for the course. Each module contains appropriate objectives and your performance objectives make it clear that your participants will be journals their connections and demonstrate understanding and implementation of metacognitive approaches.

Content-goal consistency: It appears that what you have so far will help learners achieve the identified learning outcomes. Instructional sequencing: I like how you started with what metacognition is! This is definitely a good place to begin. You then move into learning styles and how to learn, which I think is a necessary topic. You end with strategies which is appropriate because now you participants know what metacognition is and thus they can apply it!

Engagement and Interaction: I do not see much interaction right now, but I know this is a work in progress. Discussions may be a great way to get your participants involved and reflections may also help. The video is engaging as well as the inventory; nice work!

Technical quality: Everything looks great! The links work and the images are helpful.

Extended resources: I notice that you have a lot of resources on your portfolio page; maybe you could put those on your main page and suggest that your participants use them if needed.

I think you have a great start! Keep working and I can’t wait to see the finished product.
