I created a hypothetical heat map for a fake chapter 4 with fake student names. Please see document below.
Key: Dark Purple = A; Dark Blue = B; Light Blue = C; Yellow = F
Based on this hypothetical map I would need to reach out to Keith who is not performing well on assignments and failed to submit the video assignment. I left the exam column blank because I am reviewing this heat map a week before the exam to determine if I need to create an assignment to help students bring up their grade or reinforce important key concepts in the chapter. Most of the students have performed very well in this chapter earning A's on assignments. Based on this data I would create review game for the students and host a synchronous session to review the chapter going over some exam questions and answers. The next chapter I would create a group assignment pairing Mary, Kelly, or Tim with Keith because Keith needs some peer guidance in the course. I would also pair an A earning student with a C or B earning student. Pairs would be based on assignment strengths. A more creative student will be paired with a student who is less creative but has a strong understanding of the material.
For a future assignment I can give the students an option of creating a video, a PowerPoint, or writing an essay. Allowing a student to choose which format will give the student the power to exceed because they know which format works best for learning needs.
