Collaboratively Creative

  From the beginning, we were taught that IDs don't work alone, there are many roles in creating a learning course.  Yet, this is the first assignment we have had the opportunity to collaboratively create with a peer, and I loved it!

Alicia and I began with an in-depth blueprint, including our module links, tools, outcomes, and theories to source our learning.  Our blueprint allowed for easy organization and clear learning goals.  Our module outcomes stayed the same, but we did change the tools we used for learning and assessing.  As our module began to come alive,  we saw a need for different tools to keep a good flow of content.  

We had the mindset to create something new and different than we have created before.  We wanted our peers to leave our course, not only with more knowledge but new resources too.  We included: Edpuzzle, Sutori, Google Slide Deck, and Insert Learning.  We also asked that our learners share a new tool to share with their peers.

Alicia and I worked well together.  We planned Zoom sessions to collaborate on the material we were working on individually and always kept our GoogleDoc up to date, allowing the other to see the progress we were making.  The last two weeks of the assignment we worked collaboratively on Zoom to tie it all together on CANVAS.  We must have tested each page we published 15 times!

I thought our module was creative and effective.  Alicia brought so much to the table and I learned so much from her.  She is a CANVAS pro and her creativity knows no bounds.  This assignment gave us the freedom to share some new tools and put our creativity and knowledge to the test.
