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?,
Re Assessment design
- We should assign this one: https://www.cmu.edu/teaching/assessment/index.html
- Classic theory of assessment design: http://www.education.umd.edu/EDMS/mislevy/papers/ECD_overview.html
- Here's a relevant, but not great, link: http://app.griffith.edu.au/assessment-matters/docs/design-assessment/principles
