WEEKLY READING ASSIGNMENTS
a. Written Reflections Most class sessions are structured around a selected set of readings to support in-class discussion and related activities that will engage us in thoughtful analysis of the author(s) arguments, methods, and findings, and which we’ll connect to our design work. To ensure this class discussion and collaborative knowledge-building activity is vibrant, it is critical that each student comes to class having read the assigned materials, and spent time considering the relevance and applicability of the ideas to course work and learning media project design concepts. To encourage this preparation, students must submit short (approx. 500 words) reading reflections. These written reflections should include a brief summary of the key ideas/arguments presented, note the methods used to study learning, and consider the design implications of the reading, and how it might influence or improve the design of your project. Some readings may come with a specific set of guiding questions or prompt. These written reflections must be posted to the course site ONE HOUR before the next class session. Each reflection is worth 3 points. Late assignments will be docked 1 point, and submissions that don't address the above criteria will lose 1 point. b. Leading Group Discussions of Articles As part of your project design work, student groups will be responsible for leading a group discussion once or twice over the course of the semester, depending on the final class roster. Each small group will be expected to meet outside of class, prepare a set of guiding questions and/or an inquiry activity, and lead a provocative 15 minute class discussion to engaged the class in analyzing the readings, their connection to course assignments, and address the design implications of these readings for improving mobile learning interactions and experiences. Each article discussion should:
