DIGITAL RESOURCE DESIGN, Assignment 3 Guidance
Length: 3000 words equivalent
Description
The purpose of this task is to apply what you've learned from your topic through the development of a digital resource(s) for your educational setting.
Your digital resource could take the form of a website or presentation for students or you might develop a unit plan that makes use of multiple resources that already exist. The exact form and focus is up to you.
Your digital resource design should:
• Target a specific group of learners and focus on an appropriate content area
• Draw on key concepts from the research evidence/literature of your chosen topic
• Include a 500-750 word statement explaining the purpose of the materials and the rationale behind your design decisions.
- As the rationale will be an explanation and justification of your resource design, and not part of the resource itself, this needs to be submitted as a word document.
- Therefore, you will upload to Turnitin:
1. Coversheet
2. Link or details of how to access your digital resource (included in the coversheet)
3. Written rationale (500-750 words)
4. Any other additional text contained in your resource
5. Reference list
6. Appendix - reflective prompts.
- Please ensure that your digital resource is accessible. If we cannot access your resource because of login restrictions of the tool (for example, some LMS), please contact one of us ASAP to negotiate the best way for you to proceed. Screen shots of your resource will not suffice.
Assessment criteria
You will be assessed using the following criteria:
- Well-structured and clearly presented materials appropriate to the target learners
- Demonstrated understanding of the topic through application to the design of a digital resource(s)
- Well-justified design as expressed in the rationale supported by theory and research.
