Prompt #1

Different students master the topic Western Female Composers to different extents. For instance, in the blue print our group listed four learning outcomes. Some students may have a good grasp of learning outcome #1 and #2 fairly well, but may not familiar with #3 and #4. Some students may already know anything. Therefore, in order to cater the needs of all students, we plan to design at least 10 problems for each learning outcome. Designing such a comprehensive leaning resource allows both administrators and students to identify their strengths and weaknesses in the context of western female composers. Moreover, the learning resource is delivered entirely online, such that those students who are physically disabled do not need to learn the materials via in-person basis.

Prompt #2

We are aware that the BrightSpace system of University of Victoria undergoes maintenance regularly. Students may not login successfully at their convenience. In addition, our learning resources are not solely targeted at college students. Professionals working in the music industry may also find it necessary to review materials they have previously studied. Therefore, our learning resource is well-suited for music professionals as well. BrightSpace may not grant these music professionals the authorizations to view and study our learning resource, if we insist on delivering it through BrightSpace. After considering these factors described above, we changed our mind by delivering fully our learning resource in WordPress. In addition to avoiding maintenance issues, WordPress also permits our group to integrate all components together in one single space. For instance, some students may be required to watch one or some Youtube tutorial videos before they take the diagnostic tests. WorldPress achieves easily this task by putting the tutorial videos in the first half of one web-page and putting quizzes questions in the second half. Accomplishing this in BrightSpace may be more challenging, as our group may not be familiar with the administrator role in BrightSpace.
