Core Quests

Core Quests are your "Boot Camp". These quests ease you in to the online portion of the course by having you complete quests to set up course aspects, such as:

  • Your Tracker,
  • Your ePortfolio,
  • and more....

You must complete the Core Quests before moving on to the Self-Directed quests.

All Core Quests are completed from the "Core Quests" tab in your Tracker.

Self-Directed Quests

Self-Directed Quests are any quest which you complete after the Core Quests, and include:

  • Projects which integrate your courses and have a tech component to them,
  • Personalized Quests (Pro-D Quests "on steroids")
  • ePortfolio Development
    • Credo (Frame of Reference) submissions
    • Other development work (adding to your Classroom Management page, Assessment page…),
  • Pro-D Quests

All of these quests are submitted in the "S-D Quests" tab in your Tracker.

Personalized Quests are Pro-D quests that are pretty wide open.

These quests allow you to find your own source of content, create your own quests, create a quest for others to complete, run a session for others and more.

This is also where you can select to follow a tech-based learning path of your design.

All of these quests are submitted in the "S-D Quests" tab in your Tracker.

Professional Development (Pro-D) Quests, like the Personalized Quests, provide quite a bit of latitude for selecting content with-which to engage. Unlike the Personalized Quests, Pro-D quests provide you with a generic means of handling the content and some sources for choices of content with-which to engage.

Pro-D Quests are categorized into three streams:

  • Power Quests (Quests to help you develop powerful pedagogy; includes assessment),
  • Power+ Quests (Quests to help you understand and develop tech integration strategies), and
  • Elemental Quests (Quests to help you develop strong classroom management).

All of these quests are submitted in the "S-D Quests" tab in your Tracker.
