Competency 10 – Project Reflection #3: Learning Activities

Reflecting on the learning activities your team designed and what you'd change.

Assignment

The group project doesn't lend itself to a traditional competency demo — you haven't been mastering new content so much as applying and synthesizing what you've learned about curriculum design. To assess your individual learning and engagement with the project, I am asking each of you to write four short individual reflections over the course of the project, one for each major element of your team's design document. This is the third of those four reflections.

Please address the following questions about your team's learning activities:

  1. Write a 2–3 paragraph review of your team's deliverable for this element. What do you think of the learning activities your team designed?
  2. How did your team incorporate issues of supportive practices when designing your activities?
  3. Identify the three learning activities you think are most important to this course design. Why are they important, and how do you expect students to translate them into actual learning?
  4. Identify two learning activities you are not satisfied with — places where you wish you had something better. What bothers you about them, and what would you like to do instead if you could?
  5. What is one question you still have about designing CS learning activities as part of a curriculum?
