This week started the serious work and reflection on my final project. I decided to utilize Weebly to put together the project since I am most familiar with it. I haven't gotten very far yet, but I am starting to see how it is coming together. It is amazing how much work goes into designing just one module! I really had no idea just how much work and thought was involved.
This week's readings got me thinking about the types of assessments, and really, the type of course I want to have. The constructivist model seems so beneficial for not only my future online courses, but also my current F2F classrooms. The strong emphasis on project based learning, real world problem solving, connections, collaboration, and students taking an active role in their learning all makes sense to me. Reading these articles helped me focus my final project a little more and make my assessments more meaningful and specific.
I enjoyed trying a new tool for my pre-course survey. I am used to Google Forms for these types of surveys, but I was impressed with everything CreateSurvey had to offer. It was easy to use and had many different options. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to come up with 10 different questions. However, after solidifying my objectives and purpose for the survey the questions just started to flow. Below is a link to my survey for an online US History Course.
