The activity can meet more than one typology, though one typology is the primary one.

2. Mark a "P" for primary. and an "S" for secondary - "if" a secondary one is available for this activity.

The typology is the perspective from which the directions are written for; however many typologies provide conditional typology instructions so to reduce the amount of initial work for the user of the activity.

3. The Optimum Class Size is conditional to a range of other factors besides the number of students attending the class. In this next series of questions, Select the class size you will be concerned about and answer the reset of the questions "WITH THAT CLASS SIZE IN MIND".

  51-100
  101-300

4. When additional people are brought into any lesson, new modalities of working groups results. The simple term "workgroup" doesn't accurately capture the relationships inherent in the power structure and access to resources that are available until the discreet people-relationships are examined when People Resources are elicited in this venue.

People Resources
  paid/credit assistants   Guests
tutors   pairs
preceptors   small group works
  Lab Assistants   project workgroups
  Teaching Assistants   technically-saavy-partners
  Co-Teachers   whole groupwork


5. Many activities require more than a simple one attempt "lesson". At the most, they require reflection and action upon the lesson so as to learn the most from the lesson. Therefore there is a continuity between what is within the class and what is done outside the class and what is then address about the activity outside of the class once it is brought back into the class again. This movement is not necessarily addressed well in many activity theories and will attempt to be examined in this manner. After identifying the Assignment, please choose from the corresponding Select list, Yes or No, as to whether technology is included in the Assignment.

6. Technology is always present in some fashion. Whether with book and pen and paper or with the digital means. In this in put field, we are considering the multitude of the range of technologies needed to best utilize this activity. If a T is selected among the items above, then the following table arises and selections must be made for the activity to be use:

(Ideally, the Activity and the time will set the limit of how many tools can be selected) at this time, let us leave it open to 5 selections)

7. Please enter AN EXAMPLE the ActivityText fields below in this matrix part

Activity Name is placed here from the one selected in the begining
1. Describe the goal, objective, and purpose of the example

1.a. Describe the example's contents (somewhat in a narrative format for those who have never seen the example before so that they might understand how to emulate the example)

1.b.

Describe the lessons learned

 

1.c.

Describe what would have made the example a better lesson for this activity

1.d. If used again, what elements would be altered and for what purposes.

1.e. If used again, what differences would the student do/act/learn/be would the instructor prep/do/not do/leave/ and would the result hope to achieve.



8. There are multiple theories that use elements of different partial theories. In this section we hope to gather these overlaps so that we can see where different methodologies are assisting each other rather than resisting each other.

9.While these roles are complementary in action, there are enough activities in play during the action of learning and instruction that multiple roles may be in play at one and the same time. The limitation is in the unit of learning and the time of the unit determined for that learning. Instructional Roles, Learner Roles, For each of the activities recorded multiple roles may be used at different active places along the carrying out of the activity by the participants in it.
