Tweaks and suggestions
Carol,
This E-activity is looking good - I'm pleased that we decided to go with the 3 page option.
A few suggestions:
- I find it useful to provide an indication of the scope by specifying an approximate word count, eg Find and share a definition of sustainability and explain in approximately 200 words why this definition is better than others you found.
- In the course instructions (assignment page) we will provide the rational and explain the technologies used for the learning journal. Nonetheless I have found that it is useful to state the technology each time for example " in your personal learning Journal or course blog explain ...." The more interactions which are shared publicly - the better the learning experience for all. The bloging reminder is also useful for "sip 'n dip" course visitors.
- We will also need to include a reminder to tag or label the post with the course code (a good application for transclusion ;-)) - from experience - learners typically forget to tag their posts.
