It's been an exciting first week! The pilot officially began last Monday, January 25 with 7 faculty members agreeing to participate. So one week later we have the first module complete. Faculty read articles, viewed videos, and collaborated on Padlet and on discussion boards. I was impressed with the quality of responses and please with the detail shared among the learners. The course seems to be running smoothly . . .
. . .Until you see the work I've been doing on the back end in preparation for posting Module 2! I designed rubrics with point values like I had experienced in courses I have taken as a student. However a colleague suggesting moving to Standards Based Grading and focusing on outcomes rather than points. I really liked this idea so I've been going through the assignments and changing the way the rubrics are constructed. I finished today with the assignments for week two and posted the module which "officially" opens tomorrow. In response to other feedback I added a "this module stops here" message for those who click through the modules and don't notice when they accidentally enter the next week's content.
As far as plans for this week, I will write a recap announcement tomorrow morning and then introduce the content for the coming week. I will also be working on the content and design for Week 3 and continuing to develop a rubric for the final project.
