Design for Learning

GOA: Five Norms & Five Rubrics
How might these norms and rubrics help design hybrid learning at WAB that is enjoyable and sustainable? Where might we need to improve? How could we put this learning to use?
GOA Rubrics - Online & Hybrid Learning

These five competencies are:

Know your online infrastructure.
Use online tools to know, support, and empower students.
Design online assessments that lead to high-quality student work.
Design online learning experiences that students can navigate on their own.
Facilitate online learning experiences to support student engagement.

"If you remove the word “online” from these competencies, you’ll find that these skills translate well to in-person learning environments. This is not a coincidence. Online spaces are merely a platform, they are not pedagogy. What we know to be true about effective teaching remains true online: the particular tools and tactics may change, but the approach and strategies thrive in any learning environment."
