Purpose / Objective 

The objective of the portfolio is to demonstrate you have mastered the concepts to design a blended learning course. The portfolio requirements are six core criteria based demonstrated through course design artifacts and accompanying reflection statements. We highly recommend you use the DIY projects in the BlendKit2016 course as the basis for the course design artifacts to be included in your portfolio.

The portfolio will be submitted using Canvas "Assignments." Feel free to preview the assignment instructions and scoring criteria now.

If you are curious about those who will be reviewing your portfolio submission, please see the List of Portfolio Reviewers.

Method 

For your course portfolio you should submit the following items:

1. Reflection Statement

Create, and submit as an artifact one substantive written reflection statement.
    • This statement should contain sections addressing each criterion in the rubric.
      • Course Expectations (clear start; online v. f2f; communication protocols; required materials)
      • Learning Objectives (course-level; unit-level; balance of higher order & lower order; student-friendly wording)
      • Learning Activities/Content (activities aligned with outcomes; student-to-student; student-to-instructor; student-to-content; content aligned with activities; content aligned with outcomes; media content functional)
      • Learning Assessment (variety; impact on final grade; scoring criteria; grading communications; balance in/formal)
      • Technology Tools (purpose; instructions; support)
      • Ethical/Legal Practices (UDL; accommodations; permissions; privacy; academic misconduct)
      • Blended Implementation (Extra credit!) 
    • Taken as a whole, your reflection statement should describe the overall organization of your course and make evident the connections between face-to-face and online components, interaction, activities and assessment.
    • Make sure your statement “connects the dots” between the course components and any documents you submit to represent your course. Refer to specific documents in your written narrative. Please don’t leave the “connections” to our imaginations!
    • While your course design artifacts should stand on their own as much as possible, the written reflection is your opportunity to reveal anything about your design thinking that is not evident in your documents.

2. Course Design Artifacts 

    • Attach documents that represent the blended course you are designing and that fulfill the criteria in the rubric. (You may submit multiple files.)
    • Some items we might expect to see are your syllabus, course content, activities, and assessment plans.
    • If at all possible, your documents should be complete enough to stand on their own in fulfilling the rubric criteria. However, you will supplement them with the written statements in your reflection.
    • Again, you will find the BlendKit2016 DIY tasks (Links to an external site.) helpful in creating your course design artifacts for this portfolio, and we suggest strongly that you work on these tasks throughout the course so that you will have less new work to do during the portfolio submission/review period.
