Zhiwen Zheng’s Peer Review

Suggestions

• Reducing learning outcomes
• Providing more effective ways to help colour-blind students

What we improved or MAY NOT improved

• There are four main essential questions in our project and each question contains 1-2 learning outcomes. In our opinion, all learning outcomes are important and necessary, so we do not reduce any of them finally.
• The main purpose of using different colours in our project is to highlight the key words or sentences. Therefore, in order to help colour-blind students, we also bold all highlighted words or sentences.

Alireza Tahmasebi’s Peer Review

Suggestions

• “Will there be deadlines for formative and summative assessments, or will students complete the activities and assessments at their own pace?”
• “On the pages for topic 2, topic 3, and topic 4, the outcomes differ from the ones that were written on the page for learning outcomes”
• “Make sure you cite any source(s) that you used in the first paragraph for describing experiential learning and list the references at the end of the page” and “ensure that you cite and reference the source(s) you used for describing cognitivism”
• “I recommend trying the Colourblind Web Page Filter, which lets you filter your webpages based on colour filters and helps you make sure that the best colours are chosen for the design of the website”
• The links of learning activities in topic 2, 3, and 4 have been invalid.

What we improved or MAY NOT improved

• Students will complete the learning activities and assessments at their own pace.
• The learning outcomes for topic 2, topic 3, and topic 4 are changed and align with the page for learning outcomes.
• The sources in experiential learning and cognitivism are cited.
• The links of learning activities in topic 2, topic 3, and topic 4 are improved.

Yisi Min’s Peer Review

Suggestions

• “There should have some content or link jump when I click Description & Rationale and Assessment. It looks a little empty now”

What we improved or MAY NOT improved

• We do not change this part because both the “Description & Rationale” and “Assessment” are our primary categories and there are a few secondary categories under the primary categories.

Killian Baron’s Peer Review

Suggestions

• “Topic 4 doesn’t have an assessment, though this may be to give students time for the summative assessment, you may want to consider adding another assessment for this topic”

What we improved or MAY NOT improved

• The assessment for topic 4 is included in the final summative assessment; therefore, we do not change this part.

Our group’s plan is inclusive of most learners to participate in the study, from the text, video and music in the video interpretation and action in the video demonstration of letters, either special or ordinary students we are all equally, try to meet our designers wish is that all students can learn knowledge from our interactive learning resource. Special learners, such as those who are colour blindness or have limited mobility, can still access more information through our project and learn knowledge from this topic. One is that the existence of text and video subtitles will not interfere with their learning progress, and the other is that the existence of the internet enables learners with mobility difficulties to study at home. Additionally, the main purpose of using different colours in our project is only to highlight the key words and sentences; therefore, for learners who are colour blindness, the use of different colours will not cause their failure of learning.

Also, no matter students are good at presentation or shy and introverted, they can express themselves freely through Google Group. Our group members all agreed that communicating with others after learning is more conducive to realizing what they have learned and listening to more opinions, because sometimes a person’s cognition is not as diverse as that of a group of people, and new sparks may be generated when talking with others. In particular, the after-class formative assessment and active designed by us can gather the minds of learners around the world, consolidate what they have learned, exchange their new findings and perhaps spark new thinking.

Additionally, our group made several online discussions with Google Groups and online quizzes with Google Forms in order to encourage learners to participate in after-class quizzes and express their opinions generously. No matter what you see in pictures, what you extract from words, or what you get from videos and music, all of them will become the learners’ own experience and knowledge, which is also the wish of our group when designing this interactive learning resource.

Brief Commentary

Tea has the same connotation for Chinese as coffee does for Westerners, according to new research. In China, however, tea is not simply a beverage, but also a symbol of energy, civilization, and art. (Tea Ceremony-Symbol of Chinese Tea Culture, n.d.-b). Tea has been a part of Chinese culture for centuries, and the Chinese believe that the tea ceremony promotes friendship, improves morality, and refreshes the mind. It has not only been woven into the daily lives of the Chinese people for thousands of years, but it was also invented by the Chinese people (Mayer et al., 2019).

The tea ceremony in China dates back to the Tang Dynasty and may be traced back to that time period (618-907). The bride’s family would carry tea as part of the bride’s dowry in ancient times to symbolise her devotion to her future spouse.

Learning Outcome(s):

After learning from this sub-topic, students will be able to…

• Comprehend cultural value of Chinese tea ceremony. 
• Evaluate what occasions people will use Chinese tea ceremony (e.g. formal and informal occasions) and apply it in real life. 

The New meaning of Chinese Tea Ceremony

However, in recent years, the tea ceremony, which is frequently held at weddings, has given tea a whole new meaning. On the wedding day, the tea ceremony is quite traditional. The groom and bride send tea to their parents and grandparents first, and then the elders would drink tea to represent their acceptance the new couples into their family (Everything you need to know about the Chinese tea Ceremony, 2021).

The tea ceremony has been practiced in China since the Tang Dynasty, and its origins may be traced back to that time period (618-907). Tea from the bride’s family was once given in her dowry as a symbol of the woman’s (Everything) devotion to her future husband.

The benefits when you drink Tea

There are so many benefits to drinking tea. For example, tea can refresh your mind, remove heat from your body, reduce calories and clear your stomach (Jiang, 2021).

When you incorporate drinking tea into your daily routine, it has huge health benefits:

1. Drink it hot. Tea oxidizes quickly after brewing, and its nutrients diminish overtime. It is suggested that you drink it hot to get the best out of tea.
2. Do not drink too much strong tea. It is likely to upset your stomach and cause insomnia if you make the tea too strong.
3. The best time to drink is in between meals. Do not drink tea soon after or before meals. Otherwise it may quench appetite when your stomach is empty, or cause indigestion when your stomach is full.
4. Do not drink with medication. Tea contains large amount of Tannin, which will react with certain elements in the medicine, thus reduce medical effects. You can drink tea a couple of hours after you take medicine.
5. Green tea is the best option for office workers. Green tea contains catechins that help prevent computer radiation and supplement moisture content of the human body.

Cognitivism evolved from behaviorist learning theory, which refers to the processing of information received from the outside, knowledge into one’s own knowledge (Ertmer & Newby, 2013). Learning Chinese tea culture is built on the basis of cognitivism, which stands for the learner reprocessing and reorganizing the knowledge being taught for the purpose of learning.

Chinese tea culture is a very broad subject of knowledge, which contains a lot of historical and geographical information. Students being taught this course need to have their own knowledge of the subject matter, to understand and rework the knowledge being taught in order to truly understand and absorb Chinese tea culture. According to the meaning of cognitivism, it is the most suitable for the construction of learning Chinese tea culture. Cognitivism will help students better understand and appreciate the significance of learning about Chinese tea culture.

Experiential learning is the most powerful and natural form of learning. You will gain reflection on experience. For example, age one baby learn many new skills through painful experiential learning, they tried to walk and fail, and when they tried to stand up again, the young baby finally learns how to walk through a repeated way to doing. The benefit of experiential learning is people will learn more quickly and retain more information when they are doing something. As Sir Richard Branson says, “You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by fall over.”(Richard Branson 26 October2014)

Experiential learning is the major type of learning design we use. Our students are introduced to Chinese tea culture through many fun paragraphs or videos. Students are also given some discussion questions to discuss with friends or family. This engages their individual thinking skills, and we also want to see the students’ writing skills. Therefore, we need students to write a blog page on Chinese tea. This gives us insight into how many students learned after watching the video.

Brief Commentary

The common tea plant, Camellia Sinensis, produces a beverage called tea by steeping its leaves, twigs, or buds in hot water for 1 to 5 minutes.

Tea’s color is determined by its fermentation. White tea has the least fermentation. Black tea has the most fermentation. The fermentation process stops once the tea leaves have been fully dried. This is how the tea leaves retain their color (white, green, black) after drying.

Many people are aware today that tea has many health benefits (especially green tea). It is true that green tea was hardly available in grocery stores, convenience stores, and restaurants two years ago. Today, you can find it everywhere. Fast food restaurants serve it as well.

Brief Commentary

Tea is found throughout China, with different regions having tea plantations and industries. Through the gradual development of the tea industry, more and more diverse teas have been invented, including different ways of using tea leaves. Chinese tea culture is divided into six main categories: green tea, black tea, white tea, oolong tea, yellow tea, and dark tea (Liu, 2012). These types of tea are the mainstream, and there are more detailed categories below these types. The difference between these types may be classified according to the type of tea, the process used to make the tea, etc.

Learning outcomes:

1. Illustrate the main types of tea originated from China. 
2. Analyze the technological process of tea producing. 

The main types of tea in China & The produce process

Green tea: Accounting for 75% of tea production is green tea, which is also the most widely consumed beverage by Chinese people (Jian, Xie, &Lee, 2003). Green tea is mainly manufactured from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis tree, and its manufacture also requires a hot and humid climate (Shi &Schlegel, 2012). “Two leaves and one bud” is the key collection method for green tea (Shi &Schlegel, 2012). The process of producing green tea preserves many compounds that are relevant to human health, which distinguishes green tea from black and oolong teas (Shi &Schlegel, 2012).

Black tea: Yunnan Province mainly produces black tea, which is also a very well-known and traditional tea drink (Oi et al., 2011). Post-fermented tea is the main classification of Chinese black tea, and it is called black tea because of the dark brown color of the liquid after it has been steeped (Oi et al., 2011). However, there is a big difference between Chinese black tea and foreign black tea, which is an oxidized tea (Oi et al., 2011). Dried green tea leaves are the main raw material for Chinese black tea (Oi et al., 2011).

White tea: The southeast coast of China is the origin of white tea, which is mainly produced here, and it maintains the natural characteristics of white tea with minimal processing (Tan et al., 2017). White tea is made only through withering and drying; it is not fermented during the production process like other teas (Tan et al., 2017). According to the seasonality of growth, white tea is divided into three grades Tan et al., 2017).

Oolong tea: Oolong tea tastes different from green tea black tea, like something in between (Zeng et al., 2020). The special fruity and floral aroma is what makes oolong tea famous (Zeng et al., 2020). Dehydration and bruising are the reasons for the unique manufacturing techniques that give oolong tea a stronger and more refreshing flavor (Zeng et al., 2020).

Yellow tea: Yellow tea is mainly distributed in Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Zhejiang, and Guizhou provinces in China (Xu et al., 2018). In the middle of the Tang Dynasty from 618 to 907 AD, yellow tea was discovered, and it was also the second tea discovered after green tea (Xu et al., 2018). “Sealed yellowing” is the step in the processing of yellow tea that is different from other teas (Xu et al., 2018). This special step causes a significant change in the composition of yellow tea, resulting in a taste that is different from other teas (Xu et al., 2018).

Dark tea: “The major types of Chinese dark tea are Pu’er tea in Yunnan, Liubao tea in Guangxi, Kangzhuan tea (i.e., Tibetan tea) in Sichuan, Anhua dark tea in Hunan, Qingzhuan tea in Hubei, and Fuzhuan tea in Shannxi (Ye et al., 2020).” Pu-erh tea is the most famous among these types (Ye et al., 2020). As early as the Tang Dynasty black tea was invented and exported in large quantities (Ye et al., 2020).

Brief Commentary

Tea is an important and meaningful part of Chinese tradition and culture. As Chinese society developed, the production of tea has played a role in driving economic development while the consumption of tea has remained a practice of daily life (Jiang, 2021). However, when was tea discovered? How did Chinese tea evolve? Why it is so important in Chinese culture? In this sub-topic, it will focus mainly on talking about the three questions. 

In the end of this sub-topic, both the interactive activity (i.e. online discussion) and the assessment (i.e. online quiz) are provided. 

Learning Outcomes

Individuals will be able to expand their knowledge of Chinese tea culture. 

After learning from the first sub-topic, learners will be able to…

• Identify the origins, history, and evolution of Chinese tea clearly. 
• Explain the importance of tea-drinking in Chinese culture specifically. 

The Origins of Chinese Tea

The origin of the use of tea as a beverage is unclear, although references to tea in Chinese literature can go back approximately 5,000 years (Parkinson, 2019). As a result of the biological, ethnic and cultural diversity of China, the origin of tea is highly diverse as well. Tea has been documented in Chinese ancient literature inconsistently. According to the article, “Insect Tea, A Wonderful Work in the Chinese Tea Culture”, the authors used two examples to explain the inconsistent descriptions of tea in Chinese ancient literature. For example, “it is clearly indicated that tea was a sweet-tasting plant in the ‘Odes’, while tea was indicated as a bitter-tasting plant in the ‘Eyra’” (Xu, Pan, et.al., 2013).

Although there are many Chinese literary writings about tea, it is still hard for historians to exactly pinpoint when it was exactly discovered. From the article, “History of Tea in China & How it Spread Across the World”, the author described that “in 1978, Archeologists surprisingly found tea relics in the Tianluo mountains that were estimated to be 7,000 years old”(2015). Then, after a decade of research, the Archeologists published in 2015 that “these roots are about 6,000 years old” (2015). “This confirmed it must have been the Hemudu culture, flourishing in 7,000 BC and 6,000 BC, that started cultivating and brewing tea”(2015). 

The Evolution of Tea in China

From the web article, “Chinese Tea Culture”, Li clearly describes the history and evolution of tea in China (Li, 1993): 

• According to records of pre-Qin period, in remote times, apart from serving as a drink and being used for medical purposes, tea was also used at sacrificial rites.
• In the royal family of Zhou period, there were people charged with the task of tea-related affairs. 
• No tea was grown in the north in the Han dynasty. it was therefore considered a rarity by the imperial court, the nobility and high officials. in Sichuan province during eastern Han, however, tea began to appear as a commodity in the market.
• Tea trading was on constant rise during the Jin dynasty (256-316) and tea-drinking spread far and wide. 
• Vigorous development of Chinese tea culture was witnessed in Sui-Tang and Song dynasties. Chinese tea began to spread overseas during Sui and Tang dynasties. It spread by sea to Korea and Japan to the east and to the south pacific islands, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and India to the south. It spread by land to Persia and Arab countries along the Silk Road. 
• Chinese tea did not reach Europe until trade began between the east and west in the 16th century. 

Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the whole world. It is ranked at “a level of being the second nonalcoholic drink after that of water (Qin, Pang, et. al., 2013). 

The YouTube video below provides a brief introduction about the history of tea. 

The Importance of Tea in Chinese Culture

In the past several thousand years, “extensive knowledge has been accumulated in China on tea cultivation, production and consumption, which forms the unique Chinese tea culture” (Xu, Pan, et. al., 2013). Chinese tea culture developed rapidly during the Tang dynasty and has infiltrated Chinese society deeply since then (Xu, Pan, et. al., 2013). Additionally, a number of monographs were published during Tang and Song dynasties. One of the most renowned books on tea is Lu Yu’s. As Li stated, “this book makes a comprehensive and systematic summary of the experiences in tea-growing, tea-processing and tea-drinking and therefore it regarded as the classical work on tea” (Li, 1993). Therefore, it exerts tremendous influence on the development of Chinese tea culture. 

Also, tea has an extremely close relationship to Chinese culture, and its study covers a wide field and has very rich content. As Li described in “Chinese Tea Culture”, Chinese tea culture covers almost all realms of life, both physical and spiritual. “Tea culture is a branch of learning that takes as its subject of study the relationship between tea-marketing and tea-drinking on the one hand and the various aspects of political, economic, and cultural life on the other as well as the influence they exert on each other” (Li, 1993). Therefore, tea plays a quite meaningful and important role in Chinese culture and traditions.
