Notes on your Artefact
Artefact – how are you using the students or staff? You need to get feedback from those people. You need to implement; deliver the things you are designing. If you can, reflect about what you are creating, look at the questions in the handbook – aspects of diversity to consider or why/how does it link to your course curriculum? Who would it be most useful to? How and when would it be most useful to deliver and implement? Give a rational – why? Deliver the context at the beginning of your reflective essay – consider why? What do your students & colleagues think about it? Take that thinking – you can start to shape and grow on the unit & outside. How do you intend to evaluate its success? How do you define success? What is your artefact doing?
- Who is it for?
- What are the aims?
- What do you want to develop?
- How do you decide the context?
- What decisions were made to design the artefact?
- How can it be turned into an activity to support the Ual learning outcomes?
- What do I find difficult?
Thoughts
Look for a better way to design a critique – for all students to be given a question or proposal to reflect on? Consider accessibility? Diversity – how to respond to create inclusiveness and identities? Insight into how you might develop this process? Consider the impact of the unit – how has that changed over the course?
You and your practice are central to everything, reflect at the end – can you draw into the suggested structure. Reflect on what is happening to you in your professional context. What are you hoping to say? Speak about inclusion learning, theory, positionality so that you connect to the things you have suggested. Think about the choices you have made, how much can the artefact be used? What does it mean continue the learning beyond the unit? How can you implement what you have gathered and gained in this process? What have I learnt? What could I do differently to distill the journey I have been on in the unit? How has the course implemented the development of your artefact?
Create an appendix – I want to create a knowledge exchange for my diverse range of students from different backgrounds.
