I was struck by the term 'closing the loop.' While I believe I have practiced this skill before, I'm not sure I ever noted in such a poignant way.

I really like the discussion on how rubrics should provide students with more details than simply the point values. Rather, the rubric should help quantify the kinds of content they should include in order to earn full credit.

This module offered me a wonderful reminder on why it is so important to scaffold content for my students. By engaging in activities that allow students to scaffold, they can reflect on their own experiences and gain new knowledge and perspectives.

I was struck by that by using learning objects in online classes it allows our students to engage in chunking ideas together. Many of my students are not traditional aged students who fill multiple roles including student, parent, and worker. I believe my students need to see items in my online class that allow them to make meaning and put things in context, especially since they often have limited time.

I have found this statement to be very true, Gina. I spend each week helping my students engage with me and their colleagues in Canvas. I'm glad you shared this idea.
