Peer-graded Assigment 2: Design an online Learning Componment (2) How the activity is aligned with the curriculum?

This is the final peer-graded assignment in a MOOC  -  Learning to Teach Online by University of New South Wales, Australia.

Hello, and thanks for looking into my submission!
The task  was to design and describe the online component for your own class that you identified earlier in the course. Building on my experience with teaching Interaction of Color on iPad on Einar Granum Vocational Artschool in Oslo, Norway I developed an online course using the application developed by Yale University press in 2013.

Assignment Questions
Drawing upon the concepts explored in the course, the case studies presented, resources, activities, and discussions include responses to the following in this final culminating assessment:

1. A description of the online activity, assessment or resource including specifics about what the students and the teacher would have to do.
2. A description of how the online activity, assessment, or resource is aligned with the rest of the curriculum in your course.
3. Discuss of strategies you have chose to engage your students with the online the online teaching. 
4. Make a plan for evaluating your online assessment, activity, or resource to determine its effectiveness. 

This is nothing that I´m especially proud of; poor video and bad english. These facts shall not reflect the potential I believe  one can find in new technology and online teaching. Please look at this assignment as a trail with a lot of errors and please do not feel obliged to listen to the bitter end!

Sincerely Rustan

How the activity is aligned with the curriculum?

The online activity the application enables merges very well with the curriculum as a whole. The theory in Interaction of Color follows the progression in the curriculum and how colour and perception is describe scientifically. The first week we investigate different color systems, ​​primary colours and color mixtures. The second week we work exclusively with the concept of “value” ​​and its significance for creating illusion. The third week is devoted entirely to Interaction of Color and the simultaneous contrast, and the fact that color perception is a result of the physiological evolution of the eye. This fact that perception and that we call simultaneous contrast determine how we perceive color goes back to the research by the French scientist Chevreul in 1839. The second aspect formulated in the curriculum is the need to understand the relationship between screen technology (RGB) and print technology (CMYK). Since the other courses are based on pigments and mixing primary colours; red, yellow and blue (RYB), this is the only course that discusses modern color theory in practice. The online teaching and the use of social media address another and more general requirement in the curriculum; that teaching shall lead to professionalism and cooperation.
