Beyond The Classroom [Module 2]

One of the 2nd modules assignments was to make up at least one idea for content, which could be created with students and would have a wider purpose or meaning. Immediately some questions pop up into my mind: Purpose for what and for whom? What kind of meaning? Should this content have wider purpose in students’ lives or wider meaning in society perhaps?

I got few suggestions here. One is idea which we could implement on my entrepreneurship course. Previously on this course we have planned and produced some marketing events with local enterprises. We could do this kind of project and create a blog or social media site - for instance in Facebook - on which we could advertise this event. This site or blog could be shared through social media and this would serve learning goals and have a wider purpose as well. This site should include pictures, videos, stories and links to sites of the interest groups involved.

Another idea was writing and creating a critique of a museum exhibition. Sometimes we visit museums on my optional history courses and students could write about exhibition as part of course performance. And again the critique could include photos and videos along with text and it should be implemented in the way that it can be read in the Internet.
