Ideas for Self Directed Learning

I've been giving some thought to the best way to design a self directed course. I think the first step is deciding how it would be presented to kids. This is what I've come up with:

• The directions to students should be contained on one sheet. That sheet should contain links to activities where kids will find further instructions.
• The sheet should have check boxes and/or text boxes for kids to keep track of the activities that they've completed and whether they had trouble with it.
• The sheet should be savable and able to be monitored by the teacher.
• Activities should be organised into the 5E structure, contain references to a curriculum, address a specific question to be answered and be colour coded based on the type of activity.
• There should be a number of opportunities for students to check their knowledge to determine if they're ready for assessment.

Based on all of this I think a fillable PDF could be the way to go, although I haven't worked out how to monitor a student copy yet. Stay tuned.
