Summary from Last Year
Constructive Alignment andIntended Learning Outcomes
[ 4 ]
Make explicit ILO's
(…and tell this to students)
TLA's = ILO's = AT'sTeaching/Learning

Intended Learning Outcomes
From content:
...to competence:
Intended Learning Outcomesusing verbs from The SOLO Taxonomy!
ILO's: describe ... compare ... explain ... analyze ...
To understand: deadlock interference synchronization ...

Understanding?!?
Have the student do something;and then "observe" product and/or process

The Implementation Process
1) Think carefully about: overall goal of course (what are the stud. to learn?)
2) Operationalize these goals: and express them as (SOLO) intended learning outcomes
3) Carefully design (TLA's): teaching/learning actitivites ( intended learning outcomes)
4) Carefully design (AT's): assessment tasks ( intended learning outcomes)

Teaching/Learning Activities
General advice
[ 8 ]
Lecture (about Application) Teacher activity:
Introduce Explain Elaborate Discuss application Give examples Show PPT slides Questions on slides Winding up
Student activity: Listen Listen (maybe take notes) Understand? (correctly? deeply?) Listen (maybe take notes) Listen (maybe take notes) Watch (maybe note points) Write answers to questions Possibly ask a question

The (in-famous) "Learning Pyramid":
Doing:Learning to doDoing:Learning to do
Listening:Learning aboutListening:Learning about

Listening vs. Doing Learning (about):
about application about cooking about programming about designing about analysis about construction about relating ...
Learning (to do): to apply to cook to program to design to analyse to construct to relate ...

From ILO's to TLA's
Note: there is a workshop on this later today (17:35 - 18:20)
Design TLA's = ILO's
Given(carefully chosen):
student-centric
ILO's: describe ... compare ... explain ... analyze ...
FOCUS TODAY!
Thank you !
Have a great seminar !
