The creation of a reliable rubric is a skill that must be learned. EL 109 takes the learner through the process of developing a rubric that will ensure the learner understands the types of rubrics and the design techniques necessary to create a fair assessment tool for student performance. Although the process of designing rubrics is time-intensive, the effort will save time during grading and ensure fairness in the grading process. 

Designing a dynamic and technology-enriched course increases student engagement and supports iPad technology in nursing education at the University of Lynchburg. As an Apple-designated school, the nursing faculty strives to create opportunities for students to use their iPad in the classroom, clinical, and simulation settings.  After completing EL107, I feel more confident in designing learning opportunities that take into account the diversity of students and the customization of student learning through project-based learning.

I look forward to incorporating the new knowledge into my spring 2022 courses!

The idea of structuring committee meetings in higher education using the team leadership ideas presented in the ML112 course is intriguing.  The worksheets will be useful in setting up the outline for the committee meetings.  Has anyone tried to implement a leadership model for committees for projects such as curriculum revision?  How successful is the implementation when other committee members do not a knowledge of leadership models?

This course was a great introduction to the main concepts of online gaming that would be suitable for integration into nursing education.
