Activity Icon: This icon asks participants to complete a brief activity. |
|
Reading Icon: This icon points participants to specific chunks of reading embedded in the Lesson. |
|
Video Icon: This icon directs participants to watch a video either embedded in Lesson or linked out to outside provider. |
|
View Icon This icon, much like the reading icon, will direct participants to a resource that will require viewing |
|
Thinking Icon: This icon directs learners to spend some time thinking and reflecting about a specific topic and/or question. This “think time” may lead to a written activity, but it does not have to. In some instances, it may mean learn pause, think, and digest information. |
|
Resource Icon: This icon showcases a variety of resources or handouts for further learning. |
|
Forum Icon: This icon gives participants instructions to post responses to the Forum in Canvas Discussions. |
|
Learning Conversation The best learning occurs in community. Through the professional learning experience, you will be asked to participant in learning conversations with other learners relating to the specific topics being discussed. Sometimes, the group will submit a written comment or reflection from the group, and other times, the group will have a conversation that discusses application, relevance, implication to your teaching practice and your student’s learning. You will follow these Learning Conversation Protocols. You will be given further instructions through the Learning Module content. |
|
Did You Know? This icon will point participants to a Did You Know? This is different than the Activity Icon, in that it will require participants to read a question and then a factual statement, rather than complete a written activity. |
|
Moving Forward Icon This icon appears at the bottom of each Lesson page, provides thought wrap-up for the learning content on that page, and directs participants to the learning aim of the following page. |
|
Enabling Mixed Content Periodically, participants will be required to enable mixed content. For instructions visit the Enable Mixed Content button on the course homepage. |
