Hello,
I fould all the below very fruitful, but I did not see much about ABCD digitally. It's pretty obvious that ABCD taxonomy method applies to any course. It is more difficult to rethink it and construct it also digitally. My first try,let's test thy...
A:
Aged 15-18
3rd(last)year undergraduate ballet academy(college)students.
Mixed Eng(basic-interm)level.
GE course: f.e. Grammar with "Round-up" 3.
3 groups 2h per week each
1 group - 6 girls: 2 interm, 2 pre-interm 2 basic
2 group - 2 boys: 1 pre-inter, 1 very basic
3 group - 7 girls: 3 interm,1 pre-interm, 3 basic
Digitally: Average-all groups are basic.
Study motivation - low and average.Mostly in-class work.
B:based on LOTS
F.e.one of the objectives sets(cognitive application)is:
Given the examples of words (nouns and verbs)and its collocations(from R-U3), all students should be able to recognize them in the given sentences, to translate or paraphrase them and make up at least 1 own sentence using these collocations with suitable accuracy or minimum errors.
Every advanced student of the group should construct,write and read 2-3 coherent simple sentences(a text)with at least one of these collocations without any grammar,spelling,pronuciation mistakes.
All other students should listen and then ask 1 question on each text consequently without grammar/tense/pronuciation mistakes.
Digitally: Internet/e-Dictionary search.
Be able to google correctly at least 1 of these word collocations in 20 minutes. Or find correctly at least 1 key word of the collocation in Lingvo 10.0 or any on-line dictionary in 40 minutes.
C:In class only, with the teacher, with the textbook. Individual work with students and communicative approach.
Collaborative activity with Internet in class. and at least 1 device per group (student's or teacher's PC or Communicator).
D: Aveage Target Degrees for the above objective:
1 group - 2/90%,2/70%,2/50%.
2 group - 1/50%,2/20%.
3 group - 4/80%,3/50%
Now I feel it will take me long hours to design the project for that classes, Alas..

It seems that students evaluating (Degree) is the most discussible point of this week.
If we expect 100% accuracy, it's obvious that not all students can get it, but only strongest(best) in class.
In my opinion,it is very rare that a teacher manage to get the same high level students in one class.
Anyway, I consider the grades should suppose or assume average degree for the class, say 50-80% depending on the average students initial knowledge level and on the course entry-exit tests.
Sorry, Donna, I consider 100% Degree for all class not real.
Hi Irina,
I agree with you 100%. We all have students with a variety of abilities. Not everyone will get 100%. I've always written my ABCD objectives to say, for the degree: with at least 70% accuracy.
That way, I'm defining the minimum to pass and everyone who receives a higher grade gets more points.
Degree has been the most talked about point this week.
One point . . . degree does not have to have a %. It can also define things to be completed, the minimum amount of time students can spend on a task, etc.
