Week 13: Learning Element

For this assignment, I used the MMP project I have been working on for Persuasive Techniques in Advertising.  The final project asked the students to complete a brand analysis by choosing a brand or product to analyze, view 2 commercials and 1 print ad, and write up an analytical report with a conclusion (trends, noticings, etc.).  Students then posted their projects in digital form to our class page on Edmodo, and then viewed/commented on their peers' work using readers' responses prompts and sentence starters.

I had a bit of trouble wrapping my brain around the Learning Element software... for me, it was not very intuitive.  From a critical standpoint, it seems to make a relatively simple task of planning, sequencing, and scaffolding into a more (unnecessarily) complex process.  Nevertheless, the link to my Learning Element is below.  As you can see, I completed the teacher side and started (but have not yet finished) the student side.  Check bad next week for the completed product.

  1. Hi Ellen,

    Your learning element looks great. You did better with me with the software. I agree that it was not very intuitive. I kept looking at the glossary for definitions of everything and I am not sure that I understand the reasoning behind separating all the different objectives and everything. I think there is a lot of overlap - and that there should be.
