Well, I kind of dropped the ball on my blog. I have been working (and running to kids ball games, doing other homework, getting ready for prom & senior night, the usual "mom" excuses), and alas, forgot to post. Like Gavin, I haven't been having much luck... until this morning. I'm not sure what changed - maybe my search words, too focused on specific course types, I'm not sure. But I think I'm finally making progress and hope to get back into the blogging scene.
For other rubric people.. below are links to 1) an elearning rubric and 2) an elearning training. Search term netting the link below - "elearning program evaluation" Go figure! Follow some of the seemingly relevant links to expand in different directions. I'm still in the process of doing that. Yes, Gavin, this is becoming more difficult than originally imagined... or are we making it too hard? Hopefully things will come together in the next week. Dr West, if you can offer us any kind of nudge or tell us what we're doing wrong, we'll surely welcome it!

Wk. 1: Getting Started
This has a been a difficult week for me in terms of focusing on school work and I haven't made much progress toward the final project. I had a new experience as a mom and the adjustment was difficult. Both of my kids have been gone this week on a high school band trip to Florida.
I really thought I would enjoy the freedom. The mom's made jokes as the buses rolled out last Sunday, "Woo hoo. They're gone!" But in reality, I've missed them too much to be able to concentrate on school work. The change in my routine was a shock to my system. The daze I'm in has literally made me brainless and illiterate. I've spent more time this week being amazed at how suddenly incompetent I feel than on anything else. AND... being amazed that I'm amazed by it and can't snap out of it. But they come home tomorrow and, hopefully, being once again excrutiatingly overwhelmed with work and homework on top of kids' stuff will help me get back into the groove of things.
I plan to do some intensive research into rubrics and elearning over the weekend while my kids are bothering me for money, homework help and dinner requests, and with the noise of wild teenagers trouncing around my home playing 360 and blasting iTunes. Peace at last. :)
