Overview of Strategy:

This strategy allows students to compile learning in a poster format. This can be accomplished with Poster Board or using a virtual poster site like Padlet. Utilizing images is an important component of a learning poster regardless of the tool used. If you instruct students to create their learning posters using Padlet, students can also incorporate video clips, weblinks, and other electronic documents. This strategy works well individually or in small groups. *Please review the examples linked below before implementing this strategy. This information will give you a valuable perspective of creating a learning poster assignment/activity for your students.

Directions for Implementation:

1. Start with your learning objectives for the activity. Be clear in explaining these objectives to your students. 
2. Create clear instructions for the poster. Review the rubric with students for the learning poster prior to assigning the project.

1. On this document are the directions and rubrics used when implementing a Poster Board or a Virtual Learning Poster assignment. Please review these instructions to get an idea of how to formulate your activity for your students.

3. If this is a project that will take several weeks, put in place checkpoints/due dates for certain aspects of the assignment. This will help keep students on track for completing the assignment on time.
4. Decide how the poster will be presented. Will it be presented to the entire class during class or video explanation uploaded to the assignment or discussion board? Will it need presenting or is the poster self-explanatory?
