ATS2020 LEARNING DESIGN

Note

The Learning Design (LD) process suggested starts with a macro-level design approach, followed by a meso-level and a

micro-level. At the macro-level the aim is to have an overview of the lesson (subject goals, skills goals, tasks to pursue

the goals and expected learning outputs). At the meso-level there is an identification of the tasks analysed into

activities, designed to pursue the goals. The micro-level suggests 7 areas (columns) to describe the unit/lesson (it is

encouraged that each teacher customises these areas according to various context needs). Activity is the general

description of students’ tasks. Learning outcomes are the goals of the activity in relation to the transversal skills. This

activity comprises several Tasks that need to be done by the students (and teacher’s activity), using appropriate Tools

and a suggestive teaching Methodology/Class Arrangement. Lastly, students’ expected Learning Outputs need to be

set, in order to maintain the accomplishment of the learning outcomes. It is expected that through the micro level an

alignment of goals, activities and outputs is achieved. At the same time the Learning design guides students to go

through My Learning cycle as part of their learning process. The LD process is a continuous cycle during which the 3

levels are expected to be revisited and edited.

A fourth level Transforming LD into a scaffolding tool for assessment is added for the needs of the ATS2020 learning

model where the LD (micro-level) transforms into a monitoring tool for formative assessment.

Introduction

Title: ePortfolio Learning Design for Art

Class: Grade B, Gymnasium

Introduction

This ePortfolio Learning Design refers to an Art lesson (8th grade), aligned to the New Curriculum reform. Although the example used here is the topic of “Impressionism – 19th century art”, this Learning Design, can be used as a template for similar Art topics.

It was created with an emphasis on the following transversal skills: Information literacy and autonomous learning. Other transversal skills are emerging such as collaboration, communication and digital skills.

It is assumed that students and their teacher are already familiar with the Mahara (or other ePortfolio platform) environment and know how to engage in basic activities (i.e. posting, commenting, uploading)

The main idea of this Learning Design is that students will use ePortfolio in three ways: as Repository/storage, workspace, showcase/product.

Summary

After introducing the topic and have an initial classroom discussion, students work in groups to search and

collect paintings (images) of famous Impressionist artists. Next, they upload the images in the Mahara

environment and they collaboratively extract the similarities of the Impressionist artwork in order to

identify their main characteristics. They post their response in the Forum and they create a rubric of

Impressionist artwork identification, in collaboration with their teacher. They will then create their own

artwork, integrating the characteristics of the Impressionist reviewed paintings and photograph/scan them

to upload their artwork in their ePortfolio page. Each student writes a reflective post in his/her journal,

addressing the way his/her creation integrates Impressionistic elements, in reference to the rubric. Peers

then review their paintings and provide feedback by writing comments based on the rubric they previously

developed. Students can edit their paintings if possible. In the meantime, students keep a weekly journal

input writing about their learning experience and their feelings while engaging in these activities. Their final

journal entry, they will reflect on their peers’ comments and their final paintings, referring to the rubric.

Overall students will do the following:

1. Collect, evaluate, create, organize and retrieve online and other resources

2. Engage in classroom and online discussions

3. Keep a journal/diary of their activity

4. Reflect on their own and peers’ work

5. Collaboratively create a rubric of the main characteristics of Impressionist Artwork

6. Upload their creations and critically evaluate them using a rubric

This Learning Design is only suggestive and can be edited accordingly.

Duration 240’ (6 teaching periods)

Short description After introducing the topic and have an initial classroom discussion, students work in groups to search and collect paintings (images) of famous Impressionist artists. Next, they upload the images in the Mahara environment and they collaboratively extract the similarities of the Impressionist artwork in order to identify their main characteristics. They post their response in the Forum and they create a rubric of Impressionist artwork identification, in collaboration with their teacher. They will then create their own artwork, integrating the characteristics of the Impressionist reviewed paintings and photograph/scan them to upload their artwork in their ePortfolio page. Each student writes a reflective post in his/her journal, addressing the way his/her creation integrates Impressionistic elements, in reference to the rubric. Peers then review their paintings and provide feedback by writing comments based on the rubric they previously developed. Students can edit their paintings if needed. During the whole process students keep their learning journal and at the end they will create their ePortfolio for their learning on Impressionism. Overall students will do the following: - Collect, evaluate, create, organize and retrieve online and other resources - Engage in classroom and online discussions - Keep a journal/diary of their activity - Reflect on their own and peers’ work - Collaboratively create a rubric of the main characteristics of Impressionist Artwork - Upload their creations and critically evaluate them using a rubric

My Learning cycle Students, through their own My Learning journal, are expected to: - identify what they already know about impressionism - define their goals towards identification of impressionism art (characteristics,

artists, create their own art) - plan strategies to achieve these goals through collaboration and individual work - monitor their learning and redesign if needed - develop their ePortfolio on Impressionism with evidence of their learning

ATS2020 LD Appendix 1 - Activity Description

Note: Recommended to develop this directly on Mahara environment)

TASK 1 - SEARCH AND COLLECT IMPRESSIONISM PAINTINGS ONLINE

1. Go to the Files of this group and click on the Impressionist Artists folder. There, you will find famous impressionist artists' names.

2. Open an internet browser and search for paintings (image search / google search / wikipedia search etc) of those impressionists. Save the images on your desktop using the name of the painting and the artist (i.e. Monet_Impression_Sunrise) and then upload the paintings in the appropriate folder in the Files. (You may create additional folders if you want to upload paintings of other impressionists)

Note: Make sure that the painting you want to upload is not already uploaded by someone else. Be careful not to upload the same pictures twice.

TASK 2 - IDENTIFYING IMPRESSIONISM CHARACTERISTICS

Now that we have gathered the impressionist artists' paintings, we need to go through their characteristics. (Please arrange yourselves into three Groups). In this activity you will create a page where you will list the characteristics that your group has identified.

1. As a group choose one painting from each artist. To do so: ONE of you will need to visit your Group's page and click on Edit page (top right corner of the screen). Then Click on the "configuration" icon of the Group Chosen paintings (next to the X button - right side). Then click on the Files (pictures) you have chosen and then click save. Lastly, click "Done" (bottom of the page)

2. Now, all group members enter your Groups' Discussion Forum. In the Forum each one of you start posting the characteristics that you have identified as common characteristics/techniques regarding the chosen paintings (that you can find in your Group's page). Please refer to: painting techniques, colours and painting theme.

3. Once you have discussed the characteristics, please one of you visit your Groups' page again, click "edit this page" (top right corner) and then click on the "configuration" icon for Group's Impressionism characteristics (it should be under the images you have previously uploaded). Then copy and paste in bullets the characteristics that your group has identified.

TASK 3 - PEER ASSESSMENT / FEEDBACK

Now that all groups have created their pages with the characteristics they have identified, it is time to hear what others have to say about it!

1. Each one of you will visit the Group pages of the other groups and place feedback at the bottom of the page.
