Figure 1: Six Lenses

In any learning endeavor, certain lenses are indispensable to ensure a high quality experience for students. There are six different perspectives that are supported in the Academy courses:

•Equity

•Curriculum

•Teaching

•Learning

•Assessment

•Technology

It is important to ask questions about these factors in all Academy curriculums. The following example uses UNIX:

•Equity – Do all Academy students have adequate access to information about UNIX?

•Curriculum – Do the online curriculum and skills-based labs provide ample opportunities for students to learn about UNIX?

•Teaching – Do all Academy students have access to instructors who use instructional best practices to teach UNIX?

•Learning – Do students have adequate resources to construct their own iterative comprehension of UNIX?

•Assessment – Do all students have access to online and skills-based formative and summative assessments?

•Technology – What technologies enable the effective teaching of UNIX?
