Talk:Understanding Our Students Through Multiple Intelligence Theory

Awesome -- Claire Miller (talk) 17:53, 24 April 2013 (EDT)

Michael, You are doing a really great job with your course. You have a great design approach going, and I think I'm going to take inspiration from you - I like how you've broken out each part of the first lesson into its subsequent parts and designations. I haven't done this and it looks really good and makes the lesson very user-friendly. This is a good application of some of the cognitive theory we've studied. I also see you have a very clear content-goal consistency in the first unit. Here is the breakdown of my feedback using Jane's Criteria for evaluation:

Learning outcomes - big ideas of the course relate to the selected topics of the Lesson.

Content-goal Consistency - awesome! totally present

Instructional Sequencing - awesome!

Engagement and Interaction - present, might be room for a little more visual appeal but that's not as important as the good activities you have designed.

Technical quality - one missing image, but that's it!

Extended Resources - present, high quality

Michael,

Great start! Overall this is a meaningful topic and designed in a way to promote learning and achieve your objectives. Here is some feedback:

Learning Outcomes: Look appropriate for the unit and overall topic. Consider using more performance-based terms to make assessment easier.

Content-goal Consistency: Looks like this is in line. Nice job

Instructional Sequencing: I like how you started with finding out your audiences’ prior knowledge. The rest is sequenced appropriately as well. Nice job!

Engagement and Interaction: I’m glad you included the self test activity, although I’m not sure I took it right since the categories came out to be about equal for all of them (and I answered that I knew myself well as a learner haha) This was engaging and I enjoyed it. I think your questions are well thought out for the discussion piece. Your rubric says that in order to get 3 points they need to make 3 additional posts, I’d consider adding this to the directions in the discussion section as well.

Technical Quality: Text looks good, all links work and are visible. Consider adding a picture or graphic.

Extended Resources: Are appropriate. Nice Job!
