    2. Theme discussion DL 13.5.-17.5.2019 (Find your group's Theme discussion forum under Peer Groups and activities -topic on the left)

    3. Course plan: Peer feedback from course plan version 3.0 DL 13.-17.5.2019 and continue course plan version 4.0 DL 31.5.2019

    A. Peer feedback DL 13.-17.5.2019: 
    *  This is the version (3.0) your peers (2 persons) are going to give peer feedback about (in your own groups' Course Plan -forum). 
    *  You will be informed about feedback chains in your Forum on previous week. 
    *  When you give feedback on course plans, you may use the following questions to guide your work:
               **   Read the ILOs (intended learning outcomes) – are they written from the students’ perspective, do they state at which level ( e.g. Bloom taxonomy) student should be                   after the course?
               **  Pay attention to constructive alignment: can you see the connection between ILOs, assessment and teaching methods, content, used materials?
               **  You can also comment on other parts of the course plan

    B. Continue your Course Plan version 4.0 DL 31.5.2019 
    *  How do you use digital tools/platforms in your course? 
    *  What kind of added value it provides?
    *  Give also justifications for using chosen tools.

    4. Group's Case-working DL for case-writing 18.5.2019 and DL for case-solution 2.6.2019 

    * Continue to write your group's case. More information about Case-working in Group's own area (Peer Groups and activities, on the left)

    • After 18.5.2019 your group gets a case assignment and you are to record a short video about solving it DL 2.6.2019. There are many ways to record a video and to share it, but Panopto is introduced here in a way that can be helpful in this. You are of course also free to use other means of recording and sharing a video, if they are already familiar to you (e.g. sharing in YouTube, Vimeo, Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox).
    • If you'd like to receive guidance or if you have questions about Panopto, please contact Jukka Välimäki (jukka.valimaki@aalto.fi)

    • Learning materials: Digital tools for teaching

      What kind of use of educational technology would support achieving the intended learning outcomes? How to utilize technology to create flexible learning processes? How to scaffold learning activities to students? How to make materials and different tools for learning accessible?

      These are questions about the use of educational technology. It's not just about how the teacher uses the devices, but about knowing the goals, designing the learning process and supporting students in the related activities.

      You can also use other solutions of educational technology than the ones listed below. However, Aalto's official support is only available for Aalto's official tools. If you expect students to use other digital tools, in addition to teaching students how to use them you must also ensure that these tools do not collect unauthorized information from their users.
