Session Objectives
Hold for Ron
Examples ofStudent Work
Why create a “protocol” for faculty?
• Digital assignments are a new “wild west” for many faculty and students
• Designing & refining an assignment with intentionality and clear goals, resources, etc. is best practice
• Digital assignments require “extra foci”• Experience has taught us that guided
support fosters success
Goals of protocol• For DMS: organized, consistent process for working
with, and supporting, faculty and students• For i2a: assignments designed, delivered and
assessed with intentionally and critical thinking skills in mind
• For faculty: alignment between learning goals, digital resources and student experiences
• For students: a significant learning experience and strengthened digital literacy skills
Steps for faculty member
• Commit to process over the course of a semester• Complete assignment design• Turn in final report
Your Turn
Considering a course that you teach, take a look at question #1 and/or #4 to help you get started with intentionally designing a digital assignment!
Questions for Feedback
• Does this process seem user-friendly, too onerous or something in between?
• Is the assignment design too long and involved?
• Will faculty be willing to do a final report?• Should we require it, or make it optional?
