Course Overview
Per the Capella catalog, this course has students "assess dispositions and actions needed to contribute to positive change for growth in the digital age." The assessment is reflective and forward-looking — you're typically asked to evaluate your own (or an educator persona's) mindset, habits, and readiness to lead digital-age change, then identify concrete actions to strengthen weak areas.
Common Assessment Focus Areas
-
1Disposition Self-Assessment
A structured self-assessment of dispositions relevant to leading digital-age change — adaptability, growth mindset, collaborative orientation, and comfort with ambiguity, among others.
-
2Action Plan for Positive Change
Identifies specific actions to strengthen the dispositions assessed, connecting personal growth to the educator's capacity to lead digital-age change in a school or classroom setting.

Common Challenges in This Course
A common mistake is treating this as a generic "technology is important" reflection rather than a specific assessment of personal dispositions tied to named frameworks or criteria. Most rubrics expect concrete self-evaluation evidence (examples of past behavior, specific gaps) rather than aspirational statements, plus an action plan with steps that are actually measurable.
