Learning Types – Production
Production
How the teacher motivates the learner to consolidate what they have learned by articulating their current conceptual understanding and reflect how they used it in practice. Production is usually associated with formative and summative assessment.
Conventional methods can cover a wide range of items including essays, reports, designs, performances, articles, models and videos.
Moving production online: In some disciplines, digital representations are already common such as presentations, videos, slideshows, blogs and e-portfolios.
