Almost Completed Course Design
Setting up a task timeline and sticking to it is so beneficial. So far, I am right on target to complete my course design by the due date. I have everything done except the course evaluation quiz. I cannot wait to get a full evaluation from my peer when she reviews my course. By this time, I need a fresh set of eyes to look at it. In fact, I probably need to step back from it for a day or two and then return to look over it again to make sure I have not missed anything important.
A challenge I am facing with the course evaluation is the ability to provide the students an anonymous way to give honest feedback but still give them extra credit for their efforts. It does not seem like there is a confirmation sent to the students that they completed a Canvas quiz. I have thought about adding an “Easter Egg” such as a code or an image in the evaluation quiz that they could then submit in an assignment box to get the extra credit. But I could see where the students may share that information and get credit without earning it. Or perhaps they could take a picture of themselves taking the evaluation quiz and submit that. I am still not quite sure but will decide on a route this week.
I fully expect to be done with the course design this week and start working on my job aid. I am anxious to get started on the next phase because it is something that has been needed by the full-time and especially adjunct professors who teach this course using the provided templates. By creating a job aid for my course design project, I will have a great start on creating one I can use at my place of employment.
