EDU 697 week 2 Discussion

 Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

“If it is pointless to consider tailoring instruction to each individual student, it is equally misguided to imagine that a  single one-size fits-all approach to teaching  can meet the needs of every student” (Felder & Brent, 2005, p. 57).

Reflect on the required resources for Week 2 and your personal and professional experiences in relation to the points conveyed in the resources. Discuss how instructional design principles and theory influence the use of technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the needs of all learners. Use additional resources in addition to those provided with Week 2 to support your evaluation.  Providing specific examples to illustrate your understanding of the question and incorporating opposing views to demonstrate critical thought is encouraged.

Hint: You might consider including a concept map with a tool such as Bubble.US to visually convey your understanding.

Guided Response: Reply to two or more peers. Replies to peers ought to ask a question about their evaluation and may offer an additional resource for consideration that supports an alternative viewpoint. In this and every discussion, for optimal engagement with your learning peers, you are encouraged to reengage in the discussion by replying to posts made in response to you by the instructor and peers.

EDU 697 week 2 Assignment

Ashford 3: – Week 2 – Assignment

Supporting the Needs of All Learners

Reflecting on your personal experience, learning in prior courses, and our Week Two Discussion, briefly discuss and support your understanding of the importance of designing to support the needs of all learners. Additionally, select then redesign a prior MATLT activity to demonstrate your attainment of Program Learning Outcome 3 to “design learning opportunities that apply technology-enhanced instructional strategies to support the needs of all learners”. The redesign should demonstrate use of instructional design principles and theory and explain your choice of principles and theories. Finally, include a discussion of the design and implementation challenges experienced during the redesign and how they were overcome.

Review the Rubric for this Assignment to understand the criteria on which you will be evaluated. Note that because the length of your redesigned activities will likely vary greatly, no specific length requirement exists for this assignment. However, as a general guideline, the discussion and support of how instructional design principles and theory influence designs to support the needs of all learners would reasonable be a page and the reflection on design and implementation challenges would reasonably be half a page.

Writing Tips! For all course assignments, write in a formal tone showing your best academic writing ability. Additionally, remember to include a succinct organizing introduction and succinct conclusion to the assignment paper. For example, for this assignment, you might start (after the title page) by restating the assignment instructions above into a series of statements for your introduction (tell the reader what you’ll present). Then, include your discussion of supporting the needs of all learners, your redesigned lesson, and the reflection discussion about your challenges. Finally, conclude with a succinct summary of the contents of your paper (tell the reader what you’ve said in summary/reword the introduction), ending with a References page. Additionally, remember to make use of APA headings to signify transitions among sections of your assignment.

Carefully review the Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate your assignment.
