Interactive Transcripts

“A collaborative portal of the expansive educational experience

of the 21st century learner”

Joe GreenbergLee Kaltman

Does this look familiar?

Are there better ways to

document a student’s learning

experience?

The time has come for a profound paradigm shift from the old teacher-led rote instructional model to a more dynamic student-

driven approach.

Three core features of an interactive transcript:

Empowerment: the shift of ownership of learning from teachers to students;

Collaboration: the ability to allow students to engage in ongoing discussions about content with both peers and teachers in and out of the classroom, during and beyond the school day;

Authenticity: promotion of relevant real-world learning situations and a variety of transparent assessments through documented public demonstrations of learning.
