Alignment

When designing a course, it is important to align the course objectives with the activities/strategies and assessments. A successfully aligned course is one where these are all linked and the students learn what you want them to learn and are assessed on that learning. In Form 6.3 (Course Outline with Assessment Ideas and Activities), we were asked to align our course objectives with activities/strategies and assessments by using William Horton’s instructional strategies of Absorb-Do-Connect learning activities. By using his strategies, I was able to create different types of learning experiences in order to better engage the students in the learning process.
