Planning an e-Learning Week

(Enter the HyperDoc)

By design, the HyperDoc is an interactive, self-paced learning guide.
It can guide students through a single lesson, a learning target, or an entire unit.
We're asking that you post a weekly agenda every Monday so that students can plan their week-- BUT, know that the weekly agenda HyperDoc can link to more HyperDocs!
- - A unit guide
  - A summative assessment
  - A single learning target or lesson
In their traditional form, HyperDocs follow Learning Cycles and models (more on these below)
- - Explore, Flip, Apply
  - 5Es
  - HyperDoc 7 Step Model
  - Playlist method
  - The Grid Method
  - Vic's UbD Model (not really a *thing*, but I'd consider the examples on the right to be moving through the UbD stages in a kid-friendly way).
    - - See Vic + Maureen Ritter's presentation + resources for more UbD style templates

Sample HyperDoc

Sample

This model works especially well for a hybrid schedule.
Be sure to include check-points for formative assessment and feedback before students complete a summative assessment.
Consider following any of these learning cycles:
- Explore-Flip-Apply
- Workshop Model: Connect, Teach, Engage, Application, Reflection
- 5E Instructional Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate
- HyperDoc Model: Engage, Explore, Explain, Apply, Share, Reflect, Extend
Your weekly plan might encompass an entire learning cycle, or just a fraction of one
Visit the HyperDoc resources at the bottom of the page for more on learning cycle help

Consider: have you gathered some kind of data (an interest survey, a formative assessment) to help you guide students down a certain path? Want to create groups working toward a similar goal? Want to split the class so that you and your co-teacher can each tackle a different group?
Push out these as individualized playlists. Perhaps you're leveling texts, including extension assignments, jigsawing content, or using flexible grouping in another way.
Individually assign these to students through Schoology rather than pushing out each option to everyone.
A word of caution: beware of including more tracking within your class. High achieving students shouldn't be assigned more; students who struggle on an assessment shouldn't be given less rigorous experiences. Mix up your groups!

Teacher-Directed Differentiation HyperDoc

Ask yourself: How could you begin to let go of some control in the classroom, allowing students to decide what they learn, how they learn it, or how they demonstrate mastery?
In this option, navigate between long merged rows for tasks that everyone must complete, and multi-columns for tasks that have options.

If you haven't experienced this before, it's best to start by looking at a sample.
The idea is that students begin at the bottom level of DOK and that skills and content become more difficult as they cycle up from left to right.
If you follow the philosophy of The Grid Method, students must achieve at least 85% mastery before moving on to the next learning opportunity.
Find moments to pause and bring the whole class together, even if students are in different places.

MASTERY GRID: Cell Energy - Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration

Sample

Instructors deliberately choose web tools to give students to Engage, Explore, Explain, Apply, Share, Reflect, and Extend the Learning.
Digital collaboration is choreographed to give every student a voice and chance to be heard by their classmates.
Critical thinking and problem solving skills can be developed through linked tasks.
Students create unique products to demonstrate their understanding.
