Aligning Outcomes, Assessments, and Activities

This week has been a journey of envisioning ambitious goals and designing impactful courses within our educational landscape. It was an opportunity to meticulously align expected outcomes, assessments, and activities in a blended learning environment that fosters innovation and creativity.

​

Contemplating this course design led me on a thoughtful exploration. I considered the project's authenticity and the diverse backgrounds of my students. It dawned on me—an intriguing project: having students create elf traps for their ePortfolios. This engaging task merges creativity, problem-solving, and digital skills, offering a delightful blend of real-world application and imaginative exploration.

​

As I sought to intertwine my students' inventive spirit with digital portfolio creation, these reflections laid the foundation for my BHAG and the learning outcomes envisioned for this course.

​

Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal (BHAG):

Students will create elf traps for their ePortfolios, engaging in design, construction, and digital documentation. They'll brainstorm, build, and showcase their inventive traps, fostering problem-solving skills and creative expression. They'll articulate their design journey through digital portfolios, highlighting their innovative thinking and construction process.
