Remote teaching: How to Move your Math or Science Course OnlineMaria H. Andersen
Due to the emergency measures taken at schools and colleges across the country, faculty and teachers are suddenly faced with taking their courses to a remote synchronous or online format. This is particularly difficult for math and science teachers who have hands-on activities, graphs, equations, and much handwritten work from students to collect.
Remote Teaching in Mathematics - Reimagine Math EducationMaria H. Andersen
Remote teaching in mathematics is better than lots of in-person math teaching. Dr. Andersen has been remote teaching for over a decade. She will be sharing tips and pedagogical techniques for improving your remote teaching skills and conducting active learning in remote sessions with students.
Suppose, hypothetically, that you suddenly have to teach from home for several weeks. Or rather, several students are suddenly quarantined at home and cannot attend class. It's relatively easy to make the shift to remote teaching if you know a few tips and best practices. In fact, you might even find that teaching remotely has some pedagogies that are near impossible to adopt in a F2F classroom. Our CEO, Maria Andersen, has been using remote teaching and synchronous online teaching for a decade, and will share some tips and best practices for making your remote classes run smoothly.
Discussion boards have been utilized for online learning for decades, but are we using them as effectively and efficiently as we can? Do you worry that your discussion boards feel more like busywork than a community of learning? You might notice students are just going through the motions: posting questions and completing tasks for points.
In this webinar on Friday, March 20th, you'll learn best practices for creating engaging discussion board assignments and inspiring a more dynamic and meaningful online learning experiences. We'll also go over best practices for creating rubrics and grading your discussion board assignments based on what they are learning.

Assessment 1: Visual Diary 30546/01
by Colleen Sedgwick (E0498336)
2. Instructions
Once you feel confident that you have covered the learning materials for this unit, you are ready to attempt this assessment. To help Open Colleges manage your
assessment, please use the following file naming convention: [student number]_[assessment]_[assessment number].doc for example 12345678_21850a_01.doc.
Assessment submission
When you are ready to submit your assessment, upload the file in OpenSpace using the Assessment Upload links in the relevant study period of your course.
The Student Lounge provides a ‘Quick Guide to Uploading Assessments’ if you need further assistance. Uploading assessments in OpenSpace will enable Open
Colleges to provide you with the fastest feedback and grading on your assessment.
It is important that you keep a copy of all assessment materials submitted to Open Colleges.
Assessment overview
This online assessment is comprised of the material that makes up your Visual Diary, which will be submitted through Progress Challenges (summative), discussed
with your peers on the forum (monitored only) and then as a final PDF upload on the Assessments page.
While Parts A, B and C are non-assessed, they form the building blocks of your final Part D submission, so it is recommended you complete each Progress Chal-
lenge as you go. However, you must complete all Progress Challenges in your final
assessment submission. Likewise, we recommend you engage on the student forums for peer feedback throughout the process, as this can equally inform your
process and final submission.
Part A: Progress Challenges 1-5 (optional)
Part A is designed as a set of activities where you can practice drawing freely and allow yourself to ‘fail’, learn and improve. Consequently, from the assessment point
of view Part A is optional in the final submission and can be included to show your
exploration prior to the challenges in Part B.
Complete Progress Challenges 1–5 of the module, and store copies of all your work locally (backed up!) for final PDF submission of the completed diary in Part D
You are encouraged to engage in the forums in OpenSpace for this portion of the module.
Part B: Progress Challenges 6-11 (formative)
Whereas Part A provides a relaxed set of ‘warmer activities’ and are an optional part of your final assessment submission, Part B activities must be refined and
submitted in the final submission.
Complete Progress Challenges 6–11 of the module, and store copies of all your work locally (backed up!) for final PDF submission of the completed diary in Part
D. For each challenge, you may additionally answer the questions provided in the module as a basis for online discussion of your project in OpenSpace.
TIP: It is recommended that as well as maintaining a solid back-up process while creating your work that you maintain digital records using a block such as a
Wordpress.
Part C: Visual Diary Review (formative)
Once you have collated the components of your visual diary, you will need to integrate forum comments and write a reflection on the process. This will be included
as part of the final PDF Visual Diary submission, at the end.
3. Instructions:
Engage in the student forums for feedback on one or more of the Progress Challenges, and write 100 max words on how this has informed your work.
On the module forum, give feedback to at least one other piece of work in progress.
In your final submission, include one extra piece of your own multimedia work (including collage for example) and write 100 max words on how research informed
this work.
Summarise your reflection as to how you could use what you have learned in professional practice.
Part D: Assessment submission (summative)
You will be given an overall mark for the presentation of the Visual Diary (uploaded as a combined PDF). The final Visual Diary should be A4 size with each Prog-
ress Challenge correctly labelled:
Progress Challenge 1: First steps in drawing
Progress Challenge 2: The perceptual shift
Progress Challenge 3: Perceiving spaces
Progress Challenge 4: Drawing with charcoal
Progress Challenge 5: Life drawing
Progress Challenge 6: My first animation.
Progress Challenge 7: Polish the turd.
Progress Challenge 8: At the movies
Progress Challenge 9: Buy the book
Progress Challenge 10: Photoshop tutorials
Progress Challenge 11: You know, for the kids.
.........................................................................
Summary
1. Complete the Progress Challenges throughout the module to keep track of your own progress.
2. Engage in the student forums for peer--‐to--‐peer feedback.
3. Finally, submit your combined PDF of your completed work to the Assessments page for summative assessment.

12. Progress Challenge 08 - At the Movies
My choice was The Legend of the Boy and the Eagle1
– a childhood favourite of mine about a
Hopi Indian boy, whose name is Tutuvena2
- he is banished from the village for not obeying
tribal law and setting a captive eagle free. The film was made in 1967, though I saw it on TV
back in 1977 (c/o The Wonderful World of Disney on the Channel Nine Network here). What
I found so special about the film was the authenticity of it – they used real Native American
actors and the characters spoke their own language (so it was one of the more ‘culturally sensi-
tive’ movies about Native Americans they made at the time). Even though I had never met any
Native Americans back then, let alone Hopis, I had already fallen in love with this particular
group of people, and all because of the film.
My concept is based on a remake about this cult classic, drawing on inspiration from some of
the more recent Disney animated classics like Pocahontas3
and Mulan4
, as well as some of the
Japanese anime cartoons like Pokemon5
and One Piece6
, that I watch in the mornings on TV. I
do this in the hope that it would attract more viewers and give it some commercial appeal. The
timeless classics with Disney Pixar and the modern day appeal of Manga and Anime will be
good for ressurecting an old classic. This page features the original poster (inset, thumbnails
and drafts) while the next two pages feature the refinements made to the poster.

27. Feedback - Part 1
This feedback is obtained via the Open Colleges Open Space site. I had submitted Checkpoints A and B for feedback from my trainer (who is Ivan Persa). I was
awarded a Pass for these assessments. Here is what he had to say.
For checkpoint A1

Hello Colleen,
Good work with the check points. The 50% grade is not a reflection of your work but for processing reasons only. Keep developing your design skills and contact me
for assistance anytime.
Regards, Ivan.

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for the feedback on both checkpoints. You say that for Checkpoint A, I got only a pass and that it was ‘for processing reasons only’ and ‘not a reflection’ of my
own work. Can you please explain this in more detail (for processing reasons)? I am not sure what you mean by this, But thanks anyway.
cheers,
Colleen
For checkpoint B2

Hello Colleen,
Good work with the check points. The 50% grade is not a reflection of your work but for processing reasons only however you should take the opportunity to demon-
strate your layout and typography on all assessments documents as well as the design tasks. Keep developing your design skills and contact me for assistance any-
time. Adhere to margins, columns and grids set up in your InDesign document. Refer to thee attached pdfs and go to the forum topic “All About Design - Interesting
Links, Events, Blogs, and information!” for more of my posts. There are many links within the Open COlleges study material that you will find useful.
Also go to: thinkingwithtype.com and: youtube.com/watch?v=T8_tOrJHIr8 (Donald Young — Logotypographer)
Regards, Ivan.

Hi Ivan,
I am glad there is more specific feedback for one of the progress challenges for Checkpoint B (Progress Challenge 8? At the movies?). Are there any other things I could
improve, or is that the only one?
I will check out the links you sent me very shortly.
thanks,
Colleen
There was also more specific feedback on one of the progress challenges (#8 – At the Movies), and my layout techniques in general. These were delivered to me
via PDF files which I could download.
As of the 12th of November, 2015 (the date I learned of these results), I have not received any feedback from anyone else.
29. Feedback - Part 2
For Checkpoint A, I got 15 views (via my Slideshare profile) and one share1
;
For Checkpoint B, I got 69 views (also all via Slideshare)2
.
This is surprising considering I uploaded it on the 16th of November, 2015 - four days prior (the date of writing this entry is the 20th of November)

30. Reflections
I learned of my grades (for checkpoints A and B) on the 12th of November, 2015 (via Open Space). I was unsure of what Mr Prsa meant by 'For processing reasons'
(even though it was not a reflection of my work'). I have a feeling I might have labelled my documents incorrectly (Labelling them Assessment 01 and Assessement
02 instead of labelling them Checkpoint A or Checkpoint B). However, I still needed to clarify this before making any changes.
For Checkpoint B, received more specific feedback for one of my Progress Challenges, which is what I appreciate. Even better was how he showed me another way
the words could hav fitted words into the sun or circle and stood out a lot better. Also I need to 'strive' for consistency in my 'branding' for these communication
pieces (in one of these, I used squares instead of circles). As of the 12th of November, 2015, I have not received any feedback from anyone else.
Slide Share
While I have had plenty of views on this site for these activities, I only got one ‘share’ and no ‘likes’. While the lack of ‘likes’ on Slideshare for my slideshows may
be of concern, the statistics showing so many views within four days indicates that people have at least been showing an interest in my work.
