Continuous Reflection
How do we find the time to document, reflect, assess, and improve ourselves, given incredibly competing demands for our time?
- Release time
- Know that others in the community are depending upon you to come through
- Support one another
- Offer a retreat; recognition that the community work is an enjoyable endeavor; maintain focus
Case Studies-
A. Learning Community (LC) Title
B. Community Curator(s). Who has prepared Part I of this Portrait on behalf of your LC? What date was it completed?
C. Abstract (75 Words or less) if it has changed
D. Learning Community Members, units, roles. List your community members, their units or disciplines and roles, if they have changed. Who has been added, deleted?
Core members Unit/Discipline Contributions, Associate Members Unit/Discipline Contributions
E. Background & Context. Briefly describe your Learning Community Project and the context within which you undertake it. What do you intend to achieve? What technologies are you using and how? What desired ending(s) would you like for the story of your LC and its project? What types of institutional support do you have? What types of support would you like?
F. Description of your early work, planning and preparations. Describe the preliminary work of the learning community as you prepare for your community project and for attending your Region’s Learning Institute. What were the key components in your planning and preparation for your LC (Roles? Methods? Timelines? Coordinating schedules?)? What were key issues and concerns, and, how did you sort them out? What were the key successes and what impacts have they had? Are there any vignettes that illustrate these?
G. Community building and project development. Describe early phases of building your community and developing your collaborative project. What key challenges and problems do you face and how do you handle them? What did they – or will they - lead to? What successes have you enjoyed to date? Are there any vignettes of potential consequence or impacts that you can share? What resources are you using to support community building and how are they making a difference?
H. Planning Your Assessment Strategies. How will you evaluate your work/successes? How will you assess member learning, including technology? your community’s growth over the year? student learning or change connected with your project? Both formative (this Case Study is part of this) and summative methods should be used.
