Reflecting on Asynchronous Dicussion

As I read over all the replies to my post this week I found it quite interesting.  The different feedback I received on my topic selection is similar in many ways.  They all have the same common goal that learners need to be accountability of their participation and contribution in an activity. Learners accountable demonstrate their intent to be involved in the activity. The three different approaches that best complement each other: Instructional Assessment, Self-Assessment, & Peer Assessment (Oosterhof, Conrad, & Ely, 2008). Each of these assessments is created to help learners be accountable. Learners are able to participate and be accountable for their part. The learners also have an understanding of how their work impacted the final results of the project. A checklist is one way learners can be graded and keep track of their progress.

As I believe I have been able to consider all aspects of concepts to an online environment. It is quite challenging to understand an individual’s feedback from an online format. There are many challenges when it comes to replying in a timely matter and being able to have an in-depth conversation. As I have been told before, a day is the same without learning one new thing.
