Lesson 4 Learning Notes


You have received Lesson 3 discussion grade and feedback.  I hope it gave you better ideas on how our class works.  Thanks for your actively participating in Lesson 3 discussions and other lesson activities.  Congratulations!  We set a new record for our Lesson 2 discussion historical average posting (15.05 vs. 11.84).  Group 2 has done a great job facilitating our lesson 3 discussions. Here are some reflections to share with you to help you to enhance your further learning.  Please do continue your good work in the upcoming lessons.

o   Key word for Subject field: Did you update the Subject field for each of your postings?  Do update with the relevant keywords so our threaded discussions will be easier to follow when we are ready to read and to reply to the postings.

o   In our lesson discussion feedback, we provide both individual qualitative and quantitative feedback to help you to support your learning.  The quantitative feedback is based on your individualized personal learning analytic data.  The purpose is to help you to understand your lesson discussion performance throughout the class by comparing yourself, to classmates, the whole class, and previous classes.  Learning analytic is an emerging instructional technology to support us to build our PLEs. I hope you will find them useful to your learning.  Extracting these individualized data isn’t easy in BBLearn system. I will do my best to provide you with individualized data to help you to organize your PLE.  Quantity doesn’t represent our learning performance.  So we have qualitative feedback to help us to improve our lesson discussion performance.

o   I think we have many quality postings although our average postings were below the historical average. We do focus on the quality of the discussion not just quantity.  Without a certain level of quantity, the quality could be limited. I hope we will have both positive quality and quantity discussions in upcoming discussions.  View ETC645 Interactive Lesson Discussion Statistics: https://sites.google.com/site/etc645/discussion-analysis
