Learning and Innovation Skills and Student Assessment

There are several approaches you could take with this assignment.

These are just two ideas out of numerous possibilities. If you do not have previous assignments to use in this assignment, please contact your instructor for guidelines on how to proceed. Refer to the MAED Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs) list as needed. Upload your assignment to the course for evaluation and to your ePortfolio(Pathbrite).
