This week, we continued with the case study presentations in class. My group presented our case study on moving towards online final assessments in high school eLearning courses. It was an interesting and positive experience; however, there were some negative aspects to how this was set up in the course that I'd like to explore here.
First, our group found that it was a challenge to get the rest of the class up to the same level of knowledge as we had about our case study. It felt like we spent the majority of the breakout time just getting everyone up to speed that it really took away from the rich discussions that began to occur during the last portion of the breakouts. We provided our case study presentation via blackboard email a few days prior to class; however, no one likely reviewed it before our presentation. I'm not even sure how this could be improved upon but I found that this was a reoccurring theme.
Also, people need wait time to process the information about the case and the aspects that we are asking them to discuss. Especially for those of us that are introverts in the class! I felt put on the spot several times during other the other case study presentations in this class and I wished that I had more time to digest the information presented so that I could contribute in a more meaningful way.
That being said, our group presentation went very well and we received some great feedback and ideas that we will be incorporating into our case study paper.
