Lesson 5 final checkbox list for intro/outro content and quizzes

[elPiablo]

Just a place to check of the overall progress of all the new additions to lesson 5. e.g. if you add an extra mini-quiz to lesson 5 and it gets merged to main, check the relevant box below:

• A meaningful title

• Intro paragraph to clarify assumptions, and build confidence

  • Introduce learners' capabilities, competencies and experience, including proficiency with developer tools.
  • Clearly state intended learning outcome, referring to relevant previous lessons and setting context for subsequent lessons.
  • Offer estimated minimum and maximum completion times for lesson, catering to learners' respective competencies.
  • Learning extends far beyond the 'what' and 'how'. Provide the essential 'why', by showcasing real-world examples of how new knowledge can be used for social-environmental impact.

• 2nd paragraph to introduce our pedagogy and lesson structure

  • We assess prior knowledge and test learning through mini-quiz checkpoints.
  • We engage learners with prediction activities and a final quiz. Guide them to join the forum.
  • We embrace well-being by encouraging regular breaks.

• Warmup Quiz

• List of contents and relevant tools.

• A lead-in to lesson.

• Lesson chunk

  • Meaningful digestible chunks align with learners' attention span.
  • Each chunk focuses on specific learning concepts for streamlined understanding.
  • A mini-quiz checkpoint of ~5 multiple choice questions reinforces retention.
  • A chance for a regular break, conducive to optimal learning and a culture of well-being.

• Checkpoint quiz

• Lesson chunk

• Checkpoint quiz

• Lesson chunk

• Checkpoint quiz
  (Additional lesson chunks and their corresponding checkpoint quizzes as needed)

• A final quiz of ~12 multiple choice questions for overall comprehension.

• Brief description of upcoming lesson to consolidate the learner’s path.

• Kudos to learner, and prompt to engage in forum with peers.

A few concluding considerations:

• At Academy, we constantly ask ourselves, “what assumptions are we making about the learner’s knowledge and competencies, and to what degree do we communicate that with them?” This prevents the learner from disorientation, and fosters a favourable balance of challenge and predictability, conducive to successful learning and acquisition.
• We avoid linking to external sources and create our own supporting learning materials.
• If you like, we can create the final quiz and checkpoint quizzes on each lesson chunk.
• There will be eventual proof of learning NFTs for the learner. Give its short descriptor.
• Please don’t hesitate to reach out to D_D Academy. We are passionate to take time to steward this process in any way.
