Time to go to the Academy?

Library with hooks

I’ve been thinking about active learning techniques and alternative assessments. The K. Patricia Cross Academy keeps on reappearing in discussions or references. The website is incredible and allows you to filter a large video resource library by activity type or teaching problem addressed. The website is mobile-friendly, and the videos and resources are excellent.

A library of resources at the K. Patricia Cross Academy!

How can I make the most out of this resource?

I think I can go down the list and review each video resource and reflect. Today I started with Digital Story. I think we used something similar in metagenomics with their Tutorial Videos, however, only grad students completed the assignment and my rubric did not include the storyboard element. I did include an explanation but can expand on that and provide more guidelines. This first resource really made me think about how to improve this assignment. I wonder what else I can learn or connect with the next video from the Academy!
