My reviews and the peer reviews on my work

In this post I put my reviews on the works of my colleagues and their reviews on my work:

My  review on the week 1 of Abeer's reflections

https://learnerlogbookllb.wordpress.com/2017/01/22/week1/comment-page-1/#comment-3

  No doubt,  this reflection spot the light directly to the main points in three courses. The reader finds it easy and smoothly to understand each course features and the methodology of the instructors. The writer explained specific part with focus on its impact on the learner journey that was provided by the instructors such as the search through the E-library and the methods of citation according APA format.

    I appreciate these reflections for three courses in a simple way and deeper meaning to highlight for the impact of the instructors strategies. 

    Thanks Abeer for this useful glance.

My review on  week 2 reflections of Abeer:

https://learnerlogbookllb.wordpress.com/2017/01/28/week-2/comment-page-1/#comment-2

           This reflection consists of comparison between three courses the learner studies. The idea to talk about each course from both sides, advantages and disadvantages,  is a clear and useful. I noticed that the first course PID was discussed in brief. The second course, ADCL, was described by explaining the style of the instructor and the strategies which were integrated. I think there is exaggerated by the learner when she said that one of the traditional  strategy used by the instructor  is innovative!

“The ID of this course depended on using innovative instructional methods by asking the audience themselves to search and discover the information about the topic”.

Instead of that it's suitable to say that brainstorming is an innovative strategy. Indeed, the learner focused on partial of the instructors strategies without explaining if they use new tools of technology and how? And what kinds of activities they were taking. In the learner discussion of the third course she said that the instructors depend on the lecture pattern instead of allowing students to be he learner-centered learning. That cause the boredom  for the learners and there is no engagement in the learning process.

Finally, It is a good idea to integrate Gagne’s nine events here, but it would be more useful if the learner describes each phase widely with examples of the three courses.

Abeer's review on my blog posts of three week's reflections:

https://learnerlogbookllb.wordpress.com/2017/01/30/peer-review/

     In this page, I’ll review Gubran’s blog of reflections. This page will include: Strengths of the peer’s reflection, Weaknesses, and Suggestions for further improvement.

Strengths of the peer’s reflection:

1.      The author used a clear language with well- organized points and good explanation which was relevance in comparing the courses instructional design. He supported the explanation by providing examples.

2.      He used what is written in the criteria to compare between the courses.

3.      He applied Gagne’s nine events of instruction Model in the comparison of the ID.

4.      He detailed the analysis of the course content which make it understandable for the reader.

Weaknesses:

·         He didn’t mention what was unclear in instructional design that the instructor used.

·         He didn’t write about the learning effectiveness about each course.

Suggestions for further improvement:

-          It is better to talk briefly about the lesson’s activities and tasks which were compared to support the Gagne’s nine events of instruction Model stages or any other model. It will be more clear for the reader to understand what does the author mean.

-          Thinking critically by providing effective improvements and offering suggestions for unclear points and weak areas in the instructional design of the lessons.

-          Evaluating the instructional design in general for the courses, which areas need to redesign, what is needed to add, which points should be removed, and how the designer integrate the technology with the ID to be more beneficial for effective learning.

          My peer review on the reflections of Shaikh week 3 reflections

                I read this post recently, I found it useful and smoothly to follow. The learner compared two courses she had studied by applying Gagne's nine events as an instructional design model. This model allows the learner to establish a good manner of comparison. She compares the two courses by each step of Gagne's model inappropriate way and briefly phrases. It was preferred to add the opinion of the leader after each step of comparison to explain what the right and wrong in applying the model by the instructors.

For examples, she mentioned that the instructor of ADCL course gave them feedback, but she did not describe the level and the impact of this feedback and how the learners interact with this issue.

At last, the learner added an important point as a suggestion for improving the teaching and learning processes.

Thanks Shaikha for this a beneficial reflections.
