Introduction
•Why a poetry workshop?•Why P2U?•Why hack this poem?
Course Design
•Work with pre-existing poems to see what makes them tick
•Determined learning goals first (poems are carefully constructed parts)
•Exercises in line with those learning goals
Intro Survey•Find out learner goals
•Surprises!•Determine
their comfort with technology
•Shared info with learners to build social presence
Find a Poem: What makes it work?
•Prompted learners to find their own content
•Several means to express themselves
• Introduce background & interests
“The Pier”-Christopher DeWeese
Community-built Assessment
•Elements that made a poem work determined the rubric
•Community determined how poems work--together
Weekly Summaries• Aggregated learning experience from that week
• Build-in layers of entry--folks could follow along
Learner Satisfaction Survey
•4 folks responded•25% posted a poem, analyzed a
poem, gave feedback•100% of folks read posts•Most common reason learners didn’t
post was that they ran out of time/too many other commitments
Takeaways for Next Time
•Remix is hard•Drafts/iterations of pieces•Create small teams of feedback
partners•Build expectation to evaluate others’
work•Layer in badges specifically for
relevant and insightful feedback
