Week 3 Final Project Updates

Well the third week is wrapping up. Technically everyone has next week as well. The goal at this point is to have your learning activity complete and then test it with possible learners. It will be interesting to see the results. Finally, the last week of class you will have time to write your report and submit everything to me.

In the meantime, I just came across this article and resource on MOOCs: http://oedb.org/ilibrarian/the-future-of-moocs/

It's an interesting read.

Week 2 of the Final Project

We are coming to the end of our second week working on Final Projects. The first was coming up with an idea and determining your Web 2.0 tool. This week you should finish creating the learning activity. That leaves the third week to test out the activity with learners (with some extra time during Thanksgiving break if needed), and finally the fourth week is for writing up your report.
When making your blog posts, you should just give an update and don't have to post the project activity itself.

Following Progress in Your Blog

One way to keep track of everyone's blogs is to 'Add' them to your Blogger 'Reading List'. This way you can at a glance see the most recent updates, all on one page.

By the end of this week, you should have a new blog post updating us on the progress you've made on your project.
