I choose a course from the Khan Academy on how to decide to
buy a home or rent a home. The course
includes four modules [renting vs buying, mortgages, home equity and personal
balance sheets, and the home buying process].
Each module contains multiple topics.
The first topic addressed the following four subtopics.
At first glance,
the LEM looked very simplistic and as I discussed the model with others the
overall impact or evidence was questionable. What would a learner truly know or
be able to do at the end of the course.
Further investigation into the design of the Khan Academy
adds multiple layers of learning opportunities.
It becomes less about a summative assessment as the evidence and more
about building formative assessments and understanding via demonstration, peer
support and coaching. I found it
interesting that Khan has incorporated Google Education. There are several layers supporting learning such
as an optional classroom support [synchronous environment] and the use of many
Google apps for extended [asynchronous] interactions.
