Knowledge, Learning, Community
This is a good paper with a lot of insight and thought which is worth reading even if it does sort of wander in the latter half, a path of enquiry coming to an end rather than concluding. The author addresses the question, "how do we know that students have read successfully," and then examines her use of digital annotations in order to gain insight into the students' understanding. The two questions become sort of confused in the study, especially as unstated critiques from other Visible Knowledge Project (VKP) participants work their way into the narrative. But the insight of using questions posed by students, as supported by the MS-Word annotation tool, to understand their thinking as they read, is a good one, and well documented here. Many more interesting studies from the same issue of Academic Commons are available online.
