Spring 2017 Release
tag: 2017.spring.0
This release introduces a new assignment type in Mediathread: the sequence assignment. Mediathread now has three distinct assignment types that instructors can use to build and track student assignments: composition assignment, selection assignment, and sequence assignment.
A sequence assignment allows students to line up a primary video or audio against multiple secondary selections and/or text annotations. The secondary selections will appear at designated points when the primary selection plays.
This type of assignment is good for assessing how students juxtapose a primary media object against other media selections (ie, visual annotations) or a series of thoughts (ie, textual annotations). In a sequence assignment, students may be asked to display correlations or contrasts in context, or to prepare a set of annotations that appear as a media selection plays.
Students choose and time the appearance of media selections and text snippets in a sequence workspace. An accompanying reflection workspace allows a student to post an overall characterization or justification of the sequence s/he has created. Instructors can also post feedback on a submitted assignment.
Sequence assignment responses can be shared with the instructor, with other students who have submitted or to the entire class, and also have the option of being shared publicly with the world via a permanent URL.
