• provide constructive feedback to others

• What are some evaluation criteria that could be used to judge the effectiveness of the web page?
• What are some characteristics of a web site that improve the accessibility and readability?

Assignments

1. Project self assessment - Using your rubric that you created in a previous module, rate your own project web design and development against your rubric. Should you change the rubric? Should you change your final project web page? In the Self assessment discussion, post your rubric and a brief analysis of your rubric and your web site.
   Review the rubrics of 3 others. How do they compare with your rubric and your web page?
   
   
2. When your project is ready for Peer Review, post the link to your project to the Peer reviews discussion with PROJECT and your name as the first line of the post.
   Check back periodically to see what the reviewers say about your project based on their rubric and evaluation criteria. It is always interesting and informative to get objective feedback.
   
   
3. Peer Review - Review the web sites for 3 other students based on your rubric. In the Peer reviews discussion, as a reply to the Project - student name entry, post your review based on your site evaluation rubric from Module 10. Ask questions about site design and development process. Suggest improvements based on your review.
   
   
4. Complete the Project group feedback quiz (in Module 11) to review the process you and your group followed. What did you learn about working in a group? Is your individual project better because you were working with this group? How did you each do on the pillars of group work: teamwork, competence, dependability, work ethic and communication skills? Do you have any suggestions for improving the group work for this course?
   
   
5. Web Literacies - Review the Mozilla Web Literacies framework. How would you rate your Web Literacies skills now that you have had the experiences - Read, Write, Participate, associated with this course? Which discussion was the most interesting new information for you? In the Web Literacies - Read, Write, Participate discussion, post a brief summary of your progress toward achieving Web Literacies (not web development). Include a reference to the discussion that was most interesting new Web Literacies information for you.
   Review 3 others.
   
   
6. Look back at the work you have done and topics covered in the course. Review your comments in your introduction at the beginning of the course. Did this course meet your expectations? Have you changed your goals for using your web development expertise? What more would you like to know and why? What are you going to do next? Review the discussions in previous weeks. Were these activities, articles and videos helpful to learning about web development, HTML and CSS? What are 2-3 things that you learned from the course that will be important to you in the future? Submit as the Reflection assignment.
   
   
7. Last chance - Check your grades. If there are assignments that you have not turned in, do it now. Some credit is better than no credit.
   
   
8. Thanks and best wishes - It has been great working with everyone. Please take a few minutes to say goodbye to the class and share any final thoughts in the Thanks and Best Wishes discussion.
