Cogneeto - peerScholar Assignment

 

What will we do?

In this assignment we request each student in the Circle to write a paper to UNICEF.
We will use the process of peer learning to write and reflect in a very creative way.

By giving and receiving feedback to/from two peers we ask each student to critically think and learn together.

 

Why will we do it?

Collaborative learning in a Learning Circle allows students to learn and work together; the diversity in their countries and backgrounds creates a rich learning environment.

To end a circle with a regular test, in a closed classroom setting, would take away the global dimension of the past 13 weeks.

Supported by the University of Toronto, we are offering a new way of assessment, based upon peer assessment and the main idea that also during the assess phase students continue to grow and learn together.

The tool we will be using is called Cogneeto (in Europe known as peerScholar) - We are thrilled to be able to invite you in the first global classroom assignment!

 

What is Cogneeto?

Cogneeto is an innovative on-line pedagogical tool that supports students’ collaboration, learning and reflection.

Cogneeto facilitates learning through 3 phases;

  1. Create,
  2. Assess
  3. Reflect/revise.

Students first submit their assignment, then they give feedback to their peers work, and finally they reflect on and learn from the peer feedback that they receive.

Please see the following clip that explains some more about Cogneeto / peerScholar.

The Create Phase

This first phase starts opens on May 5th. In this Cogneeto/peerScholar phase students submit a digital assignment. When you enter cogneeto.com you can login:

The button labeled “Assignment” will always be present, and students can click on them any time to be reminded of the overall assignment.

Students will read the assignment and can find 'Instructions & Tips' at the bottom of the page.  

 

The Assess Phase.  

This phase opens on May 9th. When students log in to the assess phase they are presented with two randomly selected and anonymously presented peers submissions.  Their primary task is to evaluate these submissions in a manner that provides each peer with a sense of the quality of their work and at least one well-presented idea about how that work could be improved. As they work through these pieces they must contrast and compare to ascertain quality, and their own submission is available to them through this process.  Thus critical thought and self-reflective thought come together as students not only see how their work compares to that of their peers, but also get clear ideas about those aspects that distinguish higher quality work.

 

They will be asked to provide two written comments, giving each peer specific and rich comments about what they liked in the submission of their peer and give advice about one thing they could do to make their work better. 

 

Students must complete their assessments by Tuesday May 13th

 

The Reflect/Revise Phase. 

Once the phase opens, at Wednesday May 14th, students see the comments and assessments that their peers provided for their draft submission.  

After reading their peers feedback carefully, each student will indicate how useful the feedback was. They will use it to revise and improve their original submission.

 

As a final step students will be asked to write a short reflection piece, to justify how and why they revised their work in light of some comments but not others.

Call for Papers - International Conference 25 Years CRC

 

On November 20th 2014 the World celebrates the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). UNICEF has opened a ‘Call for Papers’ to invite youth to propose one extra Child’s Right to be added to the present Convention. During the 12 weeks of your circle participation you have seen a lot of information about the present Children's Rights and how the world is dealing with it. We ask you to write a paper (1A4/500 words) to UNICEF in which you include:

  • A brief personal introduction

  • Your lessons learned and eye-openers during the Learning Circle process

  • Your own, new, to be added, Child Right and your motivation why you think this specific Right needs to be highlighted.

 

 

 

Instructions and tips

 

During this first phase you will write your paper. During phase 2, the assess phase you are invited to give feedback on the work of two of your global circle classmates. In phase 3 you will receive  and read feedback from two global circle peers, after which you can revise your work and benefit from your peers suggestions.

 

Place yourself in the position of the UNICEF committee; they will receive thousands of papers. What can you do to make your paper ‘out standing’?

 

Remember to click on <save and continue> at the end of each step.
