Discovering Discussion Posts

Discussion posts provide students with the opportunity to test out learning and gain feedback from peers.  Throughout our learning journey we have posted initial thoughts concerning prompts proposed in our course utilizing resources shared from primary resources.

As one considers the opportunities such constructive and collaborative activities provide, where would you find resources to engage your students on the topic of online assessment?  How would you share these resources with your audience?


The following rubric will be used to score your response:


Score 4 worth 25 points—student correctly identifies the artwork and connects the image to the prompt  (20 pts). Student includes the cultural context of the artwork, directly connecting the culture with the artwork’s physical attributes in at least three areas (30 pts). There are not any significant errors.
Score 3 worth 24–20 points—student correctly identifies the artwork and connects the image to the prompt (20 pts). Student includes the cultural context of the artwork directly connecting the culture with the artwork’s physical attributes in two areas (25–20 pts).   There may be a few minor errors.
Score 2 worth 19–15 points—student correctly identifies the artwork but does not connect the image to the prompt (10 pts) or student does not correctly identify the artwork but identifies the style, culture or time period (10 pts) with correct reasons to support their statements (15 pts). Student includes some cultural context of the artwork and only attempts to describe the artwork’s physical attributes (20–15 pts). The essay is generally not well developed. There may be significant errors.
Score 1 worth 14–10 points—student does not identify the artwork or connect the image to the prompt. Student includes only vague cultural context for the artwork and only attempts to describe the artwork’s physical attributes (25–20 pts).  The essay is generally not well developed. There may be significant errors.
Score 0 worth 0–9 points—attempt is made but without valid concepts (15 pts) or no attempt is made (0pts).

  1. As far as educating my students on assessment in the online environment, I would begin by giving an orientation for new students. I would then direct them to the school's library where they will be able to find articles and case studies on online assessment.

  2. As an instructor I would initially direct learners to the online library of the enrolling institution so that they could research scholarly articles on the subject; would then have them seek out their own resources and lastly I would direct them to YouTube where they will watch videos of online collaboration sessions. In order to share these resources I would place them in the course discussion board, as well as use some type of cloud file sharing system such as Google Drive or Dropbox.
