EDUC W200 Week 7
PRODUCTION TASKS INVOLVE COMPLEX ACTIVITIES
• Learners are not just doing a task – they are:
o Demonstrating knowledge in action
o Learning the acceptable and best ways to do a task
• Ex: How to interact with community leaders
o Group work:
• learn about working as a team
o How to present content, not just the content itself
EDUC W200 Week 7
PRODUCTION TASKS INVOLVE COMPLEX ACTIVITIES
• The assessment of a production task is not just the product, but the process of creating the product
o That’s why rubrics are often used with Production Tasks
o That’s why we will be discussing assessment of production tasks later today!
