Learning Interaction Grid for Remix




Below you will find a break down of my interaction grid for the remix. When creating this interaction grid, I tried to pay attention to what it means to take an online course. This summer I too took a 6-week course and I tried to draw from my experiences of a student (what worked, what was difficult) and put it into my course. Particularly, the course that I took required actual face-to-face meetings with peers. I wanted to avoid having to coordinate face-to-face meetings and instead then attempted to do so view one to many interactions; one to few interactions and/or many to many interactions/ few to few interactions. Therefore, I find that in the beginning of the course, the pace is somewhat individual. Then in order to encourage brainstorming and review, more multiple types of interaction become crucial to student development in the course. Feel free to review and let me know if you think I should change anything or review anything!



Week      Unit                 Activity                                          Due        Technology     Interaction

Week 6
#2: Remix
Find an example of a PSA (Public Service Announcement) online. Analyze this PSA, identifying the audience, purpose, message, images used, songs used, and medium presented in (Poster, video, etc). Post your PSA example and your analysis to our Facebook page.
Tues. 10/2
Researching & Analyzing PSA; Post to Blog
One to One; One to Many


Review a peer’s PSA example posted on the Facebook page. Do you agree with your peer’s analysis of the PSA? Can you think of any other intended audiences or messages that your peer may have missed when analyzing the PSA? Post these comments on your peer’s Facebook post.
Thurs. 10/4
Review of Peer’s PSA
One to Few


Now think about your community. Are there issues in your community that need attention? Need change? Go to bubbl.us (https://bubbl.us/). In the center, place your community. Then webout! Think about your first paper. Who does your community serve? Does it effectively serve them? What is your community’s purpose/mission? Are there problems with your community achieving this? The goal of this assignment is for you to begin to identify issues in your community in order for you to begin to focus on crafting your own PSA.
Sun. 10/7
Webbing Activity
One to One


Once you are done webbing, post your web to the blog. In addition, post your top 2 issues you are thinking about creating a PSA for. Explain.
Sun. 10/7
Blog Post
One to Many
Week 7
#2: Remix
Review 2 of your peers’ webs and their explanations for their top 2 issues. Then write a 3-paragraph response to their blog posts (and post this as a comment to their blog post). In the response, do you understand the issue they are talking about? Do you need more information about it? What kind of audience do you (the reviewer) represent? Are you familiar with this community? Or very unfamiliar? What issue sticks out to you as the most important? Why? This feedback will hopefully help your peer better select the issue they want to use in their PSA.
Tues. 10/9
Review of Peers’ Web
One to Few


Read the feedback you received from two of your peers about your web. From their feedback, select your issue for the PSA. Then craft a “game plan”. What will be the main message of the PSA? Who will be your intended audience? What method of presentation will you be using (PowerPoint, Prezi, video, etc). In addition, craft a thesis statement. (While this is not a paper, you are still arguing for something just in a different medium). As such, what will this PSA be arguing?
Thurs. 10/11
Review Comments; Create Gameplan
Few to One; One to One


Post your game plan to Eli. Complete an Eli Review of 3 of your peer’s “game plans” and thesis statements. (In addition, you will be receiving feedback from me.)
Thurs. 10/11
Eli Review of Game Plan & Thesis Statements
Many to Many


Review your feedback and then begin drafting your PSA. If you are having issues using the technology you selected, post your comments to Facebook. Check here often throughout the drafting stage.
