Information to
complete your reflections may be found on the Moodle
site. There are 10 Article Reflections, 1 reflection on What is
Flipped Learning (to be completed during the first week of class), and 1
reflection on Project Based Learning (to be completed during the second
week of class). Complete these reflections based on the directions
given on the
Moodle website.
Reflective assignments may include various
articles within different formats, e.g., HTML, Adobe Reader, Web pages,
etc. A goal of this course is to provide individuals with the ability to
access information from the Internet. The delivery of this course
content is very similar to a virtual classroom; therefore, it is
important to retrieve this information independently. Printing documents
from this Website is acceptable. However, if at all possible try to read
the documents directly from the Internet.
Writing reflections requires the ability to
identify the topic or thesis statement of the article. When completing your reflections, stay within
the parameter of the thesis statement. The reflection should not
contain your opinions or broad statements that are out of context.
Generalized or rhetorical statements should also be avoided.
For this course, we
are using an online Moodle Forum (web discussion). You should be able to
log into your Moodle site to access the Reflection Course Content.
The Mooldle site will be listed as
EDUC216/515 SU15. If you have
difficulty logging into the Moodle site, please send an e-mail to Mike
Verna (mverna@tusculum.edu) and
request his assistance for logging into Moodle.
He is usually very fast at responding to your request.
