Regarding Deep v Surface Learning:

Learning Outcome Examples:

  1. To create metaphors to demonstrate conceptual understandings and applications of theory.
  2. To develop workplace strategies from concepts introduced and discussed in class.
  3. To incorporate divergent opinions within written opinions.

Assessment Examples:

  1. Multi-level rubrics with specific criterion.
  2. Peer assessment/feedback that is aligned with agreed-upon and connected criterion.
  3. Individual oral discussion.
  4. Critiques of case studies to demonstrate understanding and extensions.

Assessment-Outcome Alignment:

  1. Rubrics that incorporate the criterion that was discussed with the group.
  2. Demonstrations and applications of the concepts.
  3. Products that complete the necessary criteria and offer extensions.

Examples of Uni- and Multi-structural Understanding:

  1. Identify the actors of social agency within a culture.
  2. Identify the key words and phrases within discourse or readings.
  3. Observe and calculate evidence.
  4. Compare and contrast two programs or curriculae.

Following the article: Critical thinking, cognitive presence and computer conferencing.

  1. As a person who enjoys narrative analysis, the article made me aware of how one can use the skill of coding (formally or informally) during/after online interactions to assess how the group, and individuals within the group, are progressing with concept development.
  2. The article assists/propels the facilitator in thinking more critically about what is occurring in online discourse.
  3. I appreciate the hermenuetic nature of the cognitive process (CoL) framework that has been presented. the facilitator realizes that a candidates progress on the developmental spiral may have some times of ‘pause or stoppage’ before having their learning flow onward/upward.
  4. The writer has limited online learning experience. Nonetheless, cognitive presence would be present in the reflection on, and adaptation of ideas that would be occurring in discourse and assignments.
  5. 5. Observe/read other posts.

Welcome to TRUBOX Sites. This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start blogging!

My favourite vacation spot is Sooke, BC — hikes, beautiful views, fishing and golfing (Olympic View).

The novel, The Light You Cannot See, is a 5/5, depicting the convergence of the lives of two youth during WWII.

Regarding Learning:

  1. An important characteristic of online learning is to provide opportunity for equal participation for all learners and then to provide quick and meaningful feedback for growth, and for growing confidence.
  2. Being flexible with individual circumstances and providing alternatives for completion is sometimes necessary.
  3. I am exploring how to access and work with my blog; still a little mystified.
