Talk:E-Learning Design Principles and Methods 2016

To do list for changes:

• Example assignment: only require one example, but have it due on Wed, Sept 2 so we can review it before class on Thur
• Class schedule goals
  • align with project steps, such that
    • there's lecture content (worked examples) & maybe practice on day step is assigned
    • definitely have practice on the day after assignment if not on first
  • get to assessment development quickly -- part of first or second step?
  • spend more up-front time on goal-setting CTA (CI and structured interviews)
    • contrast deliberate path (goal-setting CTA interviews) with agile path (assessment dev, data analysis)
  • figure out which lecture sessions will involve student-led debate
    • 9-8?, 15?,
