Pedagogy
Course map: is a visual representation of your course. You may also know it as curriculum alignment or an assessment audit. It allows you to evaluate the meaningful components of your course and align your learning outcomes with course activities.
Course activities: are all the activities you include in your course. These could be graded and ungraded activities and involve faculty and/or students; announcements, discussions, assignments, journals, group work, peer review, etc.
Learning activities: require students to actively ‘do something’ with the content and concepts presented in the course and then reflect on the learning. Learning activities vary in interaction (student↔content, student↔faculty, and student↔student). Plan a mix of these types of interactions when designing learning activities.
Scaffolding: is a teaching method that enables a student to solve a problem, carry out a task, or achieve a goal through a gradual series of steps while shedding of outside assistance.
Student learning outcomes: are statements that describe the knowledge or skills students should acquire by the end of a particular assignment, class, course, or program, and help students understand why that knowledge and those skills will be useful to them.
