I am putting an exemplar Brightspace course together for our academics – to tour them around remotely – and give them independent access to to explore. Has anyone got an example of a jigsaw pedagogy? My outline of this approach:·       collaborates to create a presentation on a ·       different aspect of that week's topic that is·       delivered to the group in front of an expert (often external) who gives·       immediate feedback to the group and·       feedback to the cohort. I think our approach is actually jigsaw++ as there is review from the external given to the whole cohort at each groups presentation – and it’s all recorded for review.We do this – but the version we have is very much guided by f2f sessions and we need to move this online – hence my call. So, any examples of a good online jigsaw approach please – in Brightspace? Many thanks,David Latest …… guide: What Makes a Great Screencast (in development)… blog post: Adaptive Action Learning… presentation: oeb Berlin Dec 5-7 Dec 2018 #OEB18, about WhatsApp, VLE Engagement, and Data Protection… article: “The role of Action Learning in supporting cross-cultural adaptation of international students”: https://doi.org/10.1080/14767333.2018.1510633

Hi @David Callaghan​ - thanks for the question! I've reached out to our internal Subject Matter Experts and asked them to take a look - either I or one of my colleagues will reply when I hear back!

Hi @David Callaghan​ ,

Some of the Jigsaw elements will need some additional planning and -of course this will depend on the mode. Assuming still keeping some synchronous elements to it in my response. I hope you're able to follow my train of thought here.. i figure its enough to start you exploring some of the tools at the very least....

 

I can help with some of the Brightspace logisitcal components - but the medium of the shared resources - and method of the Online component is going to be based on the tool you choose - will vary... I tried to beak the components up into Logistics (organizing in Brightspace) - and the delivery component (i.e. Zoom meeting etc)

 

1. Setup groups to help divide the crew into meaningful chunks
2. Setup a module and topic intro to introduce the activity
3. Use instructions to direct to the groups (and quick link to a self-enroll into group) to get folks to sign up for the chunk they want to tackle OR use the auto enroll so that you randomise the participants in each chunk/group. The instructions when remote and no longer F-2-F have to be more specific - baked into the shared asssets (i.e. expectations on how to divide - 1 slide each for example + expectation the team talk to their slides etc)
4. For more advanced - you can setup a Topic per group that only they see - you could put your specific jigsaw components in there - (at the end of the activity - you can remove the group restrictions on those topics - so folks can see all the things
5. you could prep by creating a PPT (or insert tool of choice here) and then adding them as files within the topic)

 

To Collaboration....

 

The collaboration to create a presentation - while remote, will require some finness - the group will need a break out room or other space to share screen and / or log in to edit (i.e shared PPT on your drive etc) and have the tools/ access to the collaboration tool used. (i.e O365 - shared PPT)

 

 

Back to Logistics

1. Each group can then submit their Combined presentation to the group assignment dropbox (this will allow evaluation by expert / yourself as the presentation is underway).. This way -the unified score can be passed back as a group.

 

Mixed Mode ...During the Presentations ....

The presentation component would also require some finnes to help control the pace, temp etc - Ensuring there is a facilitator for each group would be useful to monitor chat, curate the questions and also time-keep their group via private chat.

 

While the presentation is undeway, the expert (who would need a brightspace account) can evaluate the rubric or it can be just the Instructor.

Sometimes these things take longer - in this case, the completion of the evalutation can occur off-line - rubrics are completed and video feedback provided

 

NOTE: if you want to use Video Assessment - that tool could be used if these are done Offline and submitted instead of using Assignments tool

 

Feedback can be collected via a Brightspace Survey (or alternative tool of your choice) for each group (setup as links within the same parent module/topic) and as each session ends - surveys are completed. The survey will have a report that is visible to all learners

 

As the presentation is recorded - the final task of the group is to review the aggregate results + compile immediate feedback from expert. This becomes the personal take-away

 

 

The wrap up...

The indivudal components then get stitched or left seperate an uploaded back into the Module containing the Jigsaw - as new content topics.

 

Depending on how formal you want the personal item at the end of the exercise - a short quiz (compiled after all the sessions are complete) could be used to wrap thing up - or complete the proof of learning for each Jigsaw component which could require each team revisiting the assets (this also marks the topics as complete)
