So Jake, Maggie, and I are working together to make a documentary about the experience of the students in the Digital Civilizations class. We are going to focus most of the short film on interviews with people. So in this post I am going to put up a tentative list of questions to ask. We NEED feed back on this. Please add more questions that you think would be good to ask or comment on questions that you think would unnecessary, redundant, or in any other way just not good questions.
Questions to Ask Students:
What did you think after the first day of class?
Prior to attending the first day of class, what where your expectations?
How is this different than a normal history class?
What was the hardest thing about this class?
What has been the most useful thing you have learned?
How did you personally fufill the learning outcomes and Consume, Create, Connect?
What digital tools did you use doing the class?
What was your favorite historical content from the class?
How did you take control of your own learning?
How was keeping a blog?
Had you done it before?
What did you learn about blogging?
What did you find most valuable in this class?
Questions for the Professors:
What were your expectations at the onset of the course?
How did you come up with the idea?
What are your individual backgrounds?
What do you hope the students will take from this class?
What challenges did you see the students face?
What good stuff did you see the students accomplish?
What would you change if you were to do it again?
What did you learn?
These questions are meant to give an overview of the class and to help someone outside of the class see the benefits of this class. There can also be more questions that deal with the draw backs of the class but the documentary is not supposed to be a review of the class. It is meant to draw people into what we all experienced.
Thanks
