Sue-Point-Oh!

You may have noticed that I changed the name of my blog from “the art of eating a pomegranate” to “Sue Point oh!”. I had to make the name change because I was looking at my Google Analytics and noticed that most of my Google visitors arrived by searching for “pomegranate eating” and I felt like I was being misleading. So now I’ve adopted this cheezy new title - my name does rhyme with “two” and I felt that I had the moral obligation to do it. If people start complaining of feeling sick to their stomach by the cheesiness of it all then I will find something a bit less cutesie.

Now, back to those pomegranates - November is national pomegranate month and pomegranates are all the rage right now for their health benefits. Here is a link to the instructional website I made with tips on how to open, juice, and eat a pomegranate.

What else would I do with an Instructional Technology degree, duh!!

Thank you to CSU Chico for developing a wonderful rubric to evaluate the effectiveiness of online instruction.  The rubric rates instructional websites on six different categories:

• Learner Support and Resources
• Instructional Design and Delivery
• Organization and Design
• Assessment and Evaluation of Student Learning
• Innovative Teaching with Technology
• Faculty Use of Student Feedback

I think these are very appropriate and easily digestible categories.  The use of a rubric helps bring a quantifable measurement to a qualitative tool like an online course.

 Here is the rubric.
