Star Legacy

I have reviewed the star legacy model for another class. I liked the model’s step by step approach. I also liked the idea of presenting a challenge. Finally, I liked the idea of having a capstone project.
For this course, the red team has chosen to use this model in our next project. As a member of the team I am excited. It also means I have taken a closer look at what the authors of the article have to say. It is interesting because I had the chance to reflect back on my initial thought of this model from the previous course I had taken. After having more graduate courses and maybe more life experience I have expanded my view of this model.

Here are some incorrect assumptions I made:

1. Assumption: This is a step by step process with no area for change.

After reviewing: In fact the authors came up with this model so that instructional designers, teachers, and learners could collaborate.

2. Assumption: Students need to complete a formal type of assessment.

After reviewing: The assessment could be in the form of essay or even more informal.


I am looking forward to learning even more about this model as we create our project!
