Learning Design: 21C Skills Framework

Rubric Key Question

Collaboration Are students required to share responsibility and make substantive decisions with other people?

Knowledge construction Are students required to build knowledge? Is that knowledge interdisciplinary?

Use of ICT for learning Do students use ICT to support knowledge building? Is ICT necessary to that knowledge building?

Self-regulation Is the learning activity long-term? Do students plan and assess their own work?

Skilled communication Did the student produce extended communication? Was the communication well-developed and organized around a thesis?

Real-world problem-solving and innovation

Does the learning activity require solving authentic, real-world problems? Are students’ solutions implemented in the real world?

Use of ICT for learning

• While ICT is becoming increasingly common in classrooms and learning environments, it is often used to present or consume information rather than to fundamentally transform learning experiences.

• This ITL rubric examines how students use ICT— and whether it is used in more powerful ways to construct knowledge or to design knowledge-based products.

Will this kind of model foster deep learning? Share with someone sitting near by you.
