Step 5. INTEGRATION

Step 5: Integrating Steps 1-4

1. Situational Factors

Assuming you have done a careful, thorough job of reviewing the situational factors, how well are these factors reflected in the decisions you made about learning goals, feedback and assessment, learning activities?
- I've adjusted my learning goals because they were far too focused on content knowledge instead of learning knowledge

What potential conflicts can you identify that may cause problems?
- Faculty may have an unrealistic expectation about the amount of information that can be covered in a one-shot instruction session.

Are there any disconnects between your beliefs and values, the student characteristics, the specific or general context, or the nature of the subject in relation to the way you propose to run the course?
- Nothing jumps out at me at the moment.

2. Learning Goals and Feedback & Assessment

How well do your assessment procedures address the full range of learning goals?
- The assessment is limited to the application goals at this point.

Is the feedback giving students information about all the learning goals?
- All except perhaps the MLA identification.

Do the learning goals include helping the students learn how to assess their own performance?
- Yes, I think the peer review and reflection provides an opportunity for self-reflection.

3. Learning Goals and Teaching/Learning Activities

Do the learning activities effectively support all your learning goals?
- They support the application goals which is my focus for now. Eventually they will need to be expanded.

Are there extraneous activities that do not serve any major learning goal?
- No

4. Teaching/Learning Activities and Feedback & Assessment

How well does the feedback loop work to prepare students for understanding the criteria and standards that will be used to assess their performance?
- The feedback is short, but immediate in a one-shot instruction setting.

How well do the practice learning activities and the associated feedback opportunities prepare students for the eventual assessment activities?
- The learning activities and feedback are directly related to the assessment activity.
