Task 3: Edit & Revise
Getting to Work
- You may wish to review the draft documents created during the previous
task before beginning this task.
- The course author (or the author of each document
in a team effort) should take the group of reviewers through the task
documents in the
order in which a student is likely to see them. The author should
flesh out details of bulleted or outlines documents as required but
should
not provide any information or explanation that will not be available
to a student.
- Even if the members of the group are knowledgeable
in the area, they should try to approach the documents as a typical
student might.
- Reviewers should provide feedback on the completeness
and comprehensibility of each document, especially noting additional
information a student
might reasonably need.
- If time permits, the group should consider making
learning and task plans for the task without input from the course
author(s).
The author(s)
can use these to assess the adequacy of the task materials as a
whole. (See Tips and Traps for this workshop’s previous task for descriptions
of learning and task plans.)
- After the review session, author(s) may opt to revise
and elaborate the documents collaboratively or individually.
- Each document should be given a final review by
at least one knowledgeable person other than the author(s).
- Finally, the author(s) should walk through the deliverables
assigned, any associated templates, and the Plan of Attack
to compile a Task
Checklist via which the student can self-check his or her
work prior to submission. (You may wish to review an example
Task Checklist.)
- The author(s) may wish to create a version of the
checklist with weights (and annotations) to serve as a grading
guide.
- Time permitting; the author(s) should consider creating
a representative solution to the problem. Doing so may
help you
to improve the
key areas of task presentation such as the Plan of Attack,
Tips and
Traps, and
Reading and Resources.
- Create templates to provide guidance to students
on how to complete tasks.
