Learning outcome actions

Publish a short blog post and share a link to your published learning sequence on WordPress

(For students working as a team, each member of the team must publish their own blog post for the learning pathway they are working on).

  1. Choose a suitable title for your blog post
  2. Prepare a blog post with three sub-sections:
    1. My published learning pathway
      • Provide a link to your published learning pathway on WordPress.
      • The link URL will be in the form of https://edt4ol.oerfoundation.org/username-course/ where the ‘username’ in italics is replaced with your own WordPress username of the username of your co-ordinator if you are working in a team.
    2. My learning reflection
      • Share a brief personal reflection of your experience in authoring a learning pathway. For example:
        • The aspects you found easy and/or challenging
        • Any advice you would offer learners completing this activity in the future
        • Anything else you would like to share
    3. Self-assessment of my published learning pathway
      • Share a self-assessment of your published learning pathway (see below), justifying why you awarded yourself green or amber. (Team members should consult with each other to achieve a consensus evaluation.
  3. Remember to apply the “EDT4OL” tag to your post. (This is needed for harvesting your post in the course feed.)

Self-assessment

Conduct a self-assessment of your published learning pathway on WordPress, using the traffic light rubric below, to evaluate if your resource achieves a green or amber rating below. If amber, consider improving your resource to achieve a green rating.

If you were working as a member of a team, you should assess the learning pathway you authored. (The wiki provides a detailed history of who edited the sub-pages in your learning pathway). Consider getting together for a web-conference call to discuss your self-evaluation with members of the team, and invite them to make suggestions for improving the design of the structure of your team’s collective learning pathways.

This is the final step towards gaining your Course Developer Badge and will be assessedby your course facilitator.
