Hi fellow #histodons and other #scholars teaching in #higherEd.
I will be teaching a #largecourse next semester (capped at 250 students).
Has anyone done #unessay #assignments in large classes?
@mapicone Yes. Individual or group?
@bevgibbs I'm comfortable with either!
@mapicone have a look at this https://www.ethicsforge.cc/ It is still text-based but in a crowdsourced kind of a way (including feedback). Students take a stance, open their thinking and have to respond. We were getting 50,000 views + and thousands of comments with a class of 250
@mapicone and basically as an engineer Design is one of our go-to functions. Students making and modelling a work of public art to learn project management (isnt that translatable to a historical idea?). Students designing interactive experiences eg science fair, museum, that respond to an abstract concept. Designing for What If scenarios, and so on...
@peterbroks - what do you have on 'unessaying' history?
