4. Redesign of assessment strategy - three pronged approach Collaborate – Partnered students allocated media channel, partners create, present/ upload portfolio Individual – Each student critiques each partnership channel presentation Individual – Each student required to post a blog reflecting on learning from own research and critique of others CSU_ED 27/11/09
5. The concept of partnering the portfolio, providing and receiving peer feedback and reflecting on their learning appeared to work well The higher order thinking; depth of knowledge; connectedness to the real world; peer support and engagement with each other and the content in the subject appeared to increase as gauged by the presentations (portfolios) critiques and reflections CSU_ED 27/11/09
6. However… Topics covered severely diminished by drop in student numbers thus exposure to media channels through commenting and the critique reduced. Necessary for SC to add questions to be answered in the blog reflection CSU_ED 27/11/09
7. Utilise the learning design again in 2010 Will be used for internal students - establishing equivalent experiences amongst cohorts More students than topics so will be multiple partners allocated to topics, will provide wider range of comment and debate CSU_ED 27/11/09
