[DG: Teaching & Learning] Review of Learning Capabilities spreadsheet

[David Goodrum]

Hi Ken,

Let me encourage playing out this categorization.  I went and created a new column K Categories (which you may want to rename) and placed the ten top-level items in your message below.  Explaining these further in confluence will be helpful as well.  I think this is another useful lens for looking at the learning capabilities.

Regards - David

Subject: [DG: Teaching & Learning] Review of Learning Capabilities spreadsheet

 
Hello everyone,
As we discussed last week, I started looking at the spreadsheet from
the bottom up.  I spent quite a bit longer on this than I expected and I am not
quite done yet.  As I started to move up the list, looking for duplicates and
making sure the themes and workflows were assigned properly, I realized that I
was not clear on the difference between a theme and a workflow.  There are even
(nearly) duplicate entries in the list of examples (row 3).  Also, as I moved
through the first 50 or so, I realized that while most of the entries could be
called unique, it would be possible to say that quite a few are subsumed under
larger goals, with a bit of creative categorization.  For example, just taking
the idea that content should be shareable, you would cover quite a few
entries.  Some are extensions, some are subsets, some are special cases, etc.
So, what I started doing was making my own categories, just for my own
reference, which may or may not be helpful to others.  The list is below.  
My next step was to try assigning a category to each of the rows.  In
the process of doing that, I have realized that there are many entries that
need more than one category, which is, I guess, probably not surprising.  So I
am not quite done, and, again, I don’t know if it will be useful to
others, so I am not putting it in the main spreadsheet, mostly because I think
this whole process should be open to discussion, separate from all of the ideas
that have been posted.  In a sense, though, the categories could be very
important, because they will guide the larger functionalities of Sakai3 (and
beyond).  
Anyway, the meeting is about to start, so I will just quit here and
send this.
Talk to you soon,
Ken Romeo

content creation: 
* text:  templates for citations and formulas
* real-time collaboration
* video - ingest to streaming
* text - ingest doc, xls, ppt, pdf, etc to web viewable (no download
necessary)
* complex - ingest tests to web applicable
* attach - any content anywhere, including feedback in any form,
including grade, including reflection
* attach content anywhere i.e. rubrics to assignments and then feedback
* annotation and correction to all media (text, audio, video) 
* feeds for change and creation notice
* history - team project - tracking contributions by membership
 
permissions and membership
* individual to group
* item / material to feed to question to pool to site
* applicable to parts of items / materials - to allow for anonymous
grading
* ability to create ad-hoc groups
* submission / post sign-off (with comment) by multiple individuals
* role play = ability to relabel members as roles temporarily / within
a certain context
 
automation
* release assignments / material contingent on other actions (not just
dates)
* IRT based item selection
* screenflow ability to build sequences with controls on order,
functionality and timing
 
interface
* accessibility
* pbx interface on all components, including threaded discussion
* small browser
 
components
* email in all components
* contextual help for system / content
* allow signup for groups that have open enrollment
* print - including some ability to synthesize and summarize complex
content such as assessments, perhaps flagging parts for printing
* reporting based on self-authored queries
* packaging for migration and download, including options for grouping
(folders)
* threaded discussion
* assignment submission
 
labels
* bookmarking
* tagging
* link other content
 
scoring
* attach a grade anywhere
* scoring component - explanation of grading criteria (rubric),
feedback box, fill in a number, drop down menu number / letter, multiple
dropdown menus (rubric)
 
administration
* works out of the box
* calendar including private tasks
* student evaluations
* event scheduling
* student view
* track attendance
* site creation with pre-specified restrictions - to allow breakout
rooms
* many innovative uses can be achieved with existing functionality, but
some guidance needs to be given in order to achieve this
 
activity logging and notification
* changes to items
* new items
* millisecond records of time on task >> site >> system
* specific fields on items / materials - to allow double, blind grading
 
communication / notifications
* changes
** feeds
** text
** voicemail
* new content creation
* submissions
