00.01.01 How long will it take?
The suggested times included in the Tracking and Information Booklet and listed on the website are general guidelines. You may take longer or shorter, depending on your current ability, how efficiently the linked application is working, your interest in the task, and your willingness to become more adept at some of the more mechanical procedures.
00.01.02 What level of understanding will I gain?
In general, the goal in each module is for you to reach the top levels of Bloomâs Taxonomy. The links will help you remember, understand and apply and the final task will help you create, evaluate or analyze.
00.01.03 How can I best make use of the videos?
A video is different from a live lecture in many ways, so take advantage of the opportunity to:
– stop and rewind,
– take notes,
– listen more than once,
– replay the sections you found confusing or new,
– stop and try the example yourself before the explanation,
– stop and try the example yourself after the explanation,
– use the settings clog to slow down the speaker,
– use the settings clog to add the automatic text generator,
– if you are using it as a review of something you know, use the settings to speed up the speaker or scroll through to get to the âgood partsâ,
Or, in other words, treat it like a favourite movie or YouTube video.
00.01.04 What is the difference between Hints and Keys?
For some activities, hints will be included in the resource or in the Tracking and Information Booklet. Keys or Rubrics to assess your tasks will be found in each module. It is suggested that you look at the hints to help you complete the tasks rather than look at the key or rubric before you are finished. Sometimes a rubric will be posted as a Hint. In this case, there will still be another, more clear rubric posted to help you evaluate how well you did.
00.01.05 Do I need to document my learning?
00.01.06 What is the Tracking and Information Booklet?
This booklet will help you plan your time, track your progress, provide some general formulas and notes, and help you decide what to include as evidence of your learning. Download and possibly print the tracking and information booklet. The choice to use a booklet instead of a login system is for your privacy. Fill out the booklet as though it is how you will get paid for a job. Be honest. When items take more or less time than expected, note why. If you choose not to do everything in a module, note why. Download the booklet and print it or fill in your copy digitally. If you choose to print the booklet, you will need to add blank pages to add your comments or print one sided so you have comment space. Place your pages in a binder so you can add printouts that document and provide evidence of your work.
