Great question!  At first, you can expect to spend approximately 1 - 1.5 hours scoring a complete application.  Over time, closer to one hour is average.  If you cannot complete the review all in one sitting, we have set up a placeholder feature in the Moodle scoring rubric that will allow you to "pause" and "resume" a review. 

Follow the workflow guidance.  Mark the submission rubric criteria as needing revision all the way down the column and set the workflow status to "Released."  Applicants will receive an email from MCP notifying them of the issue. In general, they are typically eager to have submissions reviewed and will correctly upload the link or pdf file. 

Yes!  In the lower right corner of the submission window, click the gray boxes to expand or condense the rubric. 

Leverage the activity entry form to indicate inaccessible links.  

Ideally, the applicant will provide three sequential lessons, whether the first, middle, or final three.  The purpose of the sequential order is for the reviewer to make meaning out of the progression and accompanying materials.  If the submission is a random assortment and is difficult to follow, please use your professional judgment to mark criteria for revision.  Applicants can always revise and resubmit!

Similar to mentorship feedback, DMCE submission feedback is ideal when actionable and specific.  Plan to provide feedback on each criteria, especially any marked as needs revision.  Also plan to provide overarching feedback at the conclusion of the submission.  

Here is an example of thorough feedback on a DMCE submission.  The submission was returned for revision.  Notice how the feedback is specific and provides the applicant with action steps, as well as overarching feedback.  

Though the submission was returned to the applicant, the tone was encouraging and highlighted strengths, as well as how to proceed with a revision.

Yes! Applicants must show evidence of the asynchronous, new content they share with learners. They should describe the design and implementation of their system for delivering and accessing new, asynchronous learning content, and emphasize the user experience and accessibility considerations that promote learner self-pacing.  The videos may be third-party in origin but must be deliberate and relevant in their application of blended instruction.

For a submission to be approved, applicants must score 45 out of 50 points.  Moodle is set up to automatically open the revised submission section when an applicant earns fewer than 45 points.

When an applicant resubmits in Moodle, reviewers will receive a new submission pairing email notification. 

Revised submissions are uploaded to a different section in the Leadership Pathways course -- almost like a second submission.  In the new submission rubric, use the scoring worksheet to score only the updated sections, adding comments for the revised criteria. You will mark the previously-mastered criteria as distinguished. 

Please submit one activity entry form per submission, selecting the name of the applicant from the pick list.  If the name does not appear, please email credentials@modernclassrooms.org.  

Please submit the DMCE Application Review Committee Interest form to submit changes. 

Please do not score submissions not assigned to you.  Instead, email credentials@modernclasssrooms.org or message in Slack.  We may need to make a correction in Moodle!
