Facilitating Online/Assignments 2010

There are two assignments which must be completed in this course; maintaining a personal blog and evaluating an online event. These collectively cover all learning outcomes.

Please note that you must request an extension before the due dates. Marks are not allocated to each assignment, only a 'pass' or 'not passed'. You must successfully complete both assignments to be awarded a pass in the course. One re-submission per assignment is possible if a pass is not obtained the first time. (Note: feedback given on draft copies of assignments does not affect the re-submission regulations.)

Marking criteria There are no minimum number of posts or word limits on each post. However, to pass this assignment you need to address each of the following elements in order to obtain a successful pass for this assignment:


 * the features of online communities and networks;
 * the elements of skillful online facilitation;
 * how online communication tools can be used to facilitate online;
 * the process of facilitating an online event.

Marking criteria There is no word limits on this post. However, to pass this assignment you need to address each of the elements outlined above.
