So we're very briefly going to go over the second assignment in the MOOC, designing a learning component. So, Simon, what are some tips around doing well on this assignment? >> Well, the assignment's about taking the ideas of how you've chosen your technology. And now it's about fleshing out the learning design around that. So looking at the specifics of how this will actually work in terms of how you're applying the technology, how you're engaging students, how you as a teacher will interact with the students through that technology. And so it's really about understanding the whole educational experience and how it fits in to the bigger curriculum in your class if you're doing one part. >> So some things to consider might be what the students would actually do with the technology regardless of whether it's an assessment, an activity or a resource. And then what they're doing, but also what the teacher does with it as well. >> Yeah, and also if it's about delivering content or getting students to submit ideas, what parts of the technology do they do that in? How does the technology function and how does that relate to the educational experience from the student's perspective and also from the teacher's perspective. >> So, like the first assignment, if you did the first assignment and if you did, you really encourage you to go back, look at that, and look back at some of the comments you received from your peers regarding that. Because it's really meant to help you build on that first assignment as you move into the second one where you're really now designing that learning component, like Simon said. So again, we have some guiding questions that you should be looking at, that you'll be assessed on for this assignment. So the first one that Simon said, do the design. And you can use different ways of showing that design. They can write it but can they- >> Yeah, although that's really important because we don't want to limit how you're presenting the idea. It's not about presenting in one format. It's about being clear in communicating. So if you want to actually use a piece of open tech and design it for real, and make it and let people follow a link and interact with it, that's great. If you want to do a video demonstrating it, if you want to do Photoshop stills of what the designs might look like, flowcharts, written text, it's up to you. But just make sure that you answer those questions and answer them quite clearly for me. >> So once you've explained what your learning component is and how it works, then we're asking you to just very briefly describe how it aligns with the rest of the curriculum in your class. So, for example, if you've chosen to design an assessment, you're getting your students to do an activity on a Wiki perhaps and it's going to be assessed. How does that align back to the learning outcomes? So what learning outcome is that actually assessing? What sort of activities are going to support that? What sort of resources will support it? So just very briefly, not too extensively, just describe how your particular learning component is aligned with the rest of the class. And if you don't remember curriculum alignment, or constructive alignment, we suggest you go back and look at module three which discusses that. >> And the other thing is, how are you going to evaluate this and see if it's really working or not? So we've got a question in there about planning an evaluation strategy for yourself and obviously how you're going to gather data. Is it coming from the tech, is it coming from the students, and your own reflections. We've got, actually, a module all about evaluations, so it would be handy to look at that one as well. That's module eight, and there's various types of evaluation strategies. You only need to pick one that will really work for you. But it's really important that if you are trying something new that you then sit back, evaluate it, so you know what you want to change or improve for next time. You also need to talk, think about how you're going to engage your students with the learning component. So it's one thing to actually design it and hand it over for them to do, whatever it is, an activity, an assessment, or a resource. But what are you actually going to do to make sure that they're engaging with it? So if it's a resource, what's your role in ensuring the students are actually going to be looking at it, or reading it, or viewing it? If it's an activity, how are you going to encourage your students to actually engage with it, or engage with one another with it? So we have a module on engagement, module seven. So we suggest that you look at some of the strategies mentioned in that. And also think about other strategies that you've heard from your colleagues, or you've read about that would help really engage your students in your learning component. >> So we're really excited to see some of the ideas that you guys come up with. So, good luck.
