Hi Dawson,

I agree that being able to have a peer discussion forum will give students insight they would not otherwise have on their own sleeping habits. Having a longer assessment activity gives the student better time to absorb what they learned. Using observed data will also reinforce the video’s contents with evidence. Moreover, I think using their own sleep as an example might encourage some students to develop better sleeping habits.

I wonder if the interaction type could also be considered designed interaction because it has the video and a follow-up quiz? It is definitely something to think about.

I agree that a clear guideline will be helpful when analyzing sleeping data. I’m assuming the sleeping data will also be discussed in your lesson article; therefore reinforcing the student’s learning.

Hi Mansahaj,

I appreciate how you connected your real-life experiences to the topic of inclusive design. It is especially relevant to software engineering because of the close relation it has to digital design.

I agree that remote learning requires an asynchronous aspect. In that regard, inclusive design is important because of the lack of teacher guidance. As you mentioned, this can be applied through recorded lessons (video format), readings (text format), and discussion forums (also a text format). I would also say that adding a video transcript to your recorded lessons can add accessibility to hearing impaired individuals.

One critique would be adding more different types of media (such as video, images, etc.) to your blog post to make it more engaging. But, overall, I liked how you presented your ideas.

Hi Dawson,

After reading your blog, I found that Open Pedagogy fits very well with our group’s chosen topic. I find that due to the nature of sleep, being able to engage directly with that activity will help us greatly with finding answers to our essential questions. Therefore, we definitely should incorporate Open Pedagogy.

I also appreciate how you included additional resources if you wanted to learn more about Open Pedagogy. It really demonstrates creative ways to use hyperlinks, which I will definitely use in the future.

You’ve both defined Open Pedagogy and added your own useful insights. This is a very well-written blog post.

Blog Post 1: Learning, Motivation, and TheoryBlog Posts shows a good understanding of Constructivism, Cognitivism, and Behaviourism. I really liked how you were able to sort out your responses to each subject with bullet points. It really makes the reading experience easy and engaging. I think that you defined a very concise outline of how to teach climate change in high school. I liked how you linked real life tools to the three learning theories. Such as utilizing quizzes to reinforce Behaviourism. I think it also gives the reader a better understanding of those three learning theories. Overall, your blog post is well formatted and understandable.
