Looking at Learning from a Learner Perspective
During this activity, you create one learner sample based on your decisions in the
previous activity—a presentation, publication, or web-based resource. The learner
sample should demonstrate how you expect your learners to meet the targeted learning outcomes. Consider also how your sample addresses higher-order thinking skills, 21st Century skills, and your project's Curriculum-Framing Questions.
Go to the appropriate option on the following pages, depending on which tool you
identified as most appropriate for your project:
Option 1: Creating a Learner Sample Presentation
New ideas for types of design and formatting skills are noted below.
Creating a Presentation
- Create the content and design of your learner sample presentation. Make sure that your presentation’s content and design align with your expectations and demonstrate what your learners would create during this project. (See all Multimedia Groups.)
- Review the following additional design features to see if any ideas can be used to
enhance your presentation.
 Save your presentation in the learner_sample folder of your Portfolio folder.

Creating a Publication
- Use the prompts from Module 1 for the basic steps needed to
create a publication, as well as the references to the Help Guide, to guide your
creation of a publication. (See all Word Processing Groups.)
- Save your publication in the learner_sample folder of your Portfolio folder.
Option 3: Creating a Learner Sample Wiki
If you plan to create a learner sample wiki, scan the following ideas and types of content, design, and formatting skills:
- Open Wiki Sites.
- Use the online help or forum available in each wiki-creation website for instructions on creating your wiki. Consider including the following:
- Links to websites in the context of your discussion
- Pictures that support the content
- Uploaded files
- Navigation to other pages and content in your wiki
- Write down the URL of the wiki site, your login ID, and password in the Login Information document.
Option 4: Creating a Learner Sample Blog
If you plan to create a learner sample blog, scan the following ideas and types of content, design, and formatting skills:
- Open Blogging Sites.
 Note: You may want to use the same site as the one used in Module 1 and the rest of the modules for the reflection activities; however, sign up for a new blog to keep your course reflection entries separate from your learner samples.
- Use the online help available in each blog-creation website for instructions on
creating your blog. Consider including the following features and formatting:
- Links to websites within the context of your discussion
- Pictures that support the content
- Uploaded files
