B.5.7 Six lenses
Figure 1: Six Lenses
In any learning endeavor, certain lenses are indispensable to ensure a high quality experience
for students. There are six different perspectives that are supported in the Academy courses:
•
Equity
•
Curriculum
•
Teaching
•
Learning
•
Assessment
•
Technology
It is important to ask questions about these factors in all Academy curriculums. The following
example uses UNIX:
•
Equity
– Do all Academy students have adequate access to information about
UNIX?
•
Curriculum
– Do the online curriculum and skills-based labs provide ample
opportunities for students to learn about UNIX?
•
Teaching
– Do all Academy students have access to instructors who use
instructional best practices to teach UNIX?
•
Learning
– Do students have adequate resources to construct their own iterative
comprehension of UNIX?
•
Assessment
– Do all students have access to online and skills-based formative
and summative assessments?
•
Technology
– What technologies enable the effective teaching of UNIX?
