0. defineI have a problem. How do I frame it?

0. definewhat is the problem I am trying to solve?

how might I…

how might I improve the quality of student participation in online

discussion forums?

1.discoveryI have a challenge. How do I approach

it?

1.discoveryWho is affected? What are their needs?

What does the research suggest about the best ways to solve this problem?

What do your peers and colleagues think?

What do I already know? What do I not know?

1.discovery

I already give points forcing students to participate in the discussion forum, but the quality of participation is low. The research on online discussion forums says that…….

My colleagues do the following in their online courses…...

2.interpretationI learned something. How do I

interpret it?

2.interpretationwhat does this all mean?

I need to find alternative ways to improve the quality of their

participation; the point system isn’t working. I need to make the

students want to participate and not feel like they have to.

3.ideationI see an opportunity. What do I create?

3.ideationwhat solutions might work?

what are the most promising solutions?

how can I make them fit my context?

Here are some solutions: (1) have them create video responses (or audio responses). (2) have them relate the question to their lives.

4.experimentationI have an idea. How do I build it?

4.experimentationwhat is my solution?

did my solution work?

what feedback did I get?

I’m going to ask them to create video responses instead of text

responses.

5.evolutionI tried something new. How do I evolve

it?

5.evolutionwhat worked? what did not work?

how can I improve things?

how can I make my solution better?

universal design for learning

part 2

universal design design for learning is

“a framework for designing curriculum that addresses the

diverse needs, strengths, backgrounds, and interests of

students in today's classrooms.” -- CAST

a core tenet of UDL is “the understanding that what is

'essential for some' is almost always 'good for all'" -- Meyer, Rose, & Gordon, 2014

UDL at a glance - from CAST. http://youtu.be/bDvKnY0g6e4

universal design for learning

universal - UDL targets every learning

design - UDL is intentional, purposeful, and planned
