After much discussion and mind changing, Team Awesome Sauce has decided to explore edX, both as a massive open online course (MOOC) provider, and as an educational app for Android or IOS. We will outline the beginning of our journey by using a classic k-12 learning modality: the know, wonder, learn (KWL)) chart. A KWL chart is a way to guide inquiry. It assesses what you already know, (in this case our collective knowledge of learning modalities) what we wonder/want to know about our topic, and finally what we hope to learn in pursuing the inquiry further. For the purposes of this post, we applied this inquiry organising strategy to three guiding questions:
- What type of modality did we choose?
- What question(s) would you like to pursue as you examine or experience the modality?
- What background reading did you do to learn more about the modality? (Blogs, websites, library journal articles). Write a summary of what you learned.
In each instance a degree of expansion and explanation is included, which, it is hoped, will help keep all of us on track as we individually and collectively delve deeper into specific issues and aspects of our modality, and the instance of edX in particular.
