I’m really intrigued to see so many people planning to do a glossary-based assignment. I admit that I’d assumed that it was very basic and perhaps not so interesting and useful, but I now see I was mistaken. I […]
This sounds like it will create a very valuable resource for the students in the class, for future students, and users outside the classroom. It may be that the first time you implement this plan that […]
I like the way the activities build to your larger goal of “applying theoretical knowledge to real world situations.” I also like the fact the ways that you’re building in peer review and have given thought to […]
Very intriguing assignment–you gave a preview of it when I dropped in on your breakout room last week. I particularly like the fact that you’ll emphasize that students will be graded on their research […]
This sounds like a good fleshing out of what we discussed during our zoom session. As we discussed (I think!) it’s possible that you may want to pilot this project in Google Docs with the option of then ingesting […]
Congratulations on planning such an ambitious project. One of the possibilities is that in scaling up to creating/editing a wikipedia page, you might consider working with students on a smaller project using […]
Hi Kannaki. It sounds like you’ve thought this through since we chatted a couple of weeks ago. I think it’s great that you’ve set out guidance (in the form of a rubric) and given thought to grading–which I know a […]
I think your students are fortunate to have an instructor who’s given so much thought (and empathy) to the issues around learning a new writing system! I imagine it might also be useful in later courses […]
It looks like you’re striking a good balance between providing guidance and overseeing student work with encouraging them to work independently–and rely on each other. I think it’s a great idea to […]
Just a reminder that the student-created material in reaction to the article is a great example of OER and Open Pedagogy. So long as any quotes from the article are properly footnoted it shouldn’t be a problem […]
This sounds like a fascinating project and one that is especially vital in the current political climate. I know we spoke a bit about the terms of the Spotify licensing. Am I correct in thinking that the TLH […]
Interesting discussion everyone! I agree that doing a Wikipedia-based project is both a way to better understand its strengths and weaknesses, and that doing such a project is likely to be very time intensive. […]
You both raise the question of privacy in platforms for student created materials. I think Noriko and I have talked about using Academic Commons to create a course site (like the one we’re on […]
So interesting to read your comments that reading about the “students writing for an audience of one” had you reflecting on that same phenomenon for your own scholarly work. I hope that Wednesday’s short […]
I know that grading is an issue that has been raised by a number of people in the course, and I’m glad you had some innovative thoughts on it. That’s a good point about “edit wars.” I wonder if doing some modeling […]
Hi Andrew. This sounds like a manageable assignment that can expand and grow. I’m not sure why the link in your comments above led to a page without information on licensing, but this landing page shows the […]
I’ll be talking a bit more about copyright in our third synchronous session, but it sounds like you’ve thought through the issues pretty carefully already.
