YES NO
Authentic activities have
real-world relevance

The mooc is rooted in reality, we
were dealing with the global
fundamental issue which affect
everyone and it needs all of us to
play our role on reducing global
warming. We all need to go green as
possible.
Authentic activities are ill-
defined, requiring
students to define the
tasks and sub-tasks
needed to complete the
activity

I would say during the lessons they
did define everything but when it
comes to activities there were open
to multiple interpretations require you
to derive a formula first before you
solve the major problem.
Authentic activities
comprise complex tasks
to be investigated by
students over a
sustained period of time


The tasks were really complex and
they need investigation but the co-
ordinators of the mooc they did the
research on our behalfs because we
dont have the resources. So the
activities they just takes few minutes
to complete.
Authentic activities
provide the opportunity
for students to examine
the task from different
perspectives, using a
variety of resources

In my mooc they gave us an
additional information/ resources
rather than the videos. Even fellow
students they can upload any
information which they think will be
helpful. So we normally tackle the
activity using variety of resources.
Authentic activities
provide the opportunity to
collaborate


For activities NO collaboration was
promoted. For sharing ideas,
knowledge and other things
collaboration was promoted
Authentic activities
provide the opportunity to
reflect

I would say there was a little bit
opportunity to reflect because
feedback was given.
Authentic activities can
be integrated and applied
across different subject
areas and lead beyond
domain-specific
outcomes

Taking geography it touches all other
disciplines, so the issue of global
warming it is also interdisciplinary, in
order to fight against we all must play
a role.
Authentic activities are
seamlessly integrated
with assessment

I will say YES because it reflects real
world assessment
Authentic activities create
polished products

After each and every activity it gave
me a new ideas and it motivate me
valuable in their own right
rather than as
preparation for
something else
to do my best on making our world a
better place for all.
Authentic activities allow
competing solutions and
diversity of outcome


NO we were not competing but
activities needed a single correct
response
suggestions My suggestion is that they must open a page where we can reflect by telling
them all our difficulties we face during the activity and give them our
suggestions on what should be done differently next time. Another thing is that
they should continue investigating for students because it will be hard for us to
know which gas has been emitted on the atmosphere
