MY ARTIFACT – The Blog Technique Team Analysis Activity
The course that I intend to use my artifact will be a Hybrid Class of @76 students, The class will then be divided into 12 teams of 6 students. You could refer to them as “Breakout Groups; however they will be permanent and required to meet -at least weekly -with instructor involvement (or not) and their BLOG session will be recorded. Essentially, the students will be responding to an Asynchronous Activity presented to them as a link to view and discuss in their Blog Session – to be recorded. Learning objective will be to determine understanding and comprehension of the Topic/Concept. Second will be to reflect upon how the topic is handled in their current/ or last organization of employment experience, Third, what new strategy based upon the new “Evidence-Based/Information” might/may be considered by the students as alternative options to consider for more effective/efficient function in their current or past -or for a future organization of employment.

When you say this is recorded, is it a synchronous video meeting? Is it going to be a written conversation? Will they be producing a final, revised summary of their responses to the three tasks? Is the recording going to be made available to fellow students, or is this for their use to refer back to, or yours?
I’ve adopted something similar with my English classes: I’ve taken to calling the small, semester-long groups “writing pods.” (I’m trying to entice their buy-in with a name with a tad more energy than “small groups,” my past go-to.) For my own clarity, are you students responding synchronously when you say they’re being recorded? Is this an activity that’s scaffolded–i.e. will students be answering these questions on the spot, or will previous assignments have let them prepare their thoughts about their answers?
