Individual Work

There are 2 major individual assignments for this class:
  • A web-based project
  • A reflective paper - this is based on an ongoing learning journal you keep throughout the course

For the web-based project, here are 5 recommendations:
  • Review the CTL1799 Gallery.  See what past students have done to get an idea of the type of web-based project you would like to create.  Do this early on so that it is in the back of your mind as you go through the course.
  • Choose a topic that is manageable for the time constraints you are faced with.  After you receive your evaluation, you can always go back and build it to what you want it to be.
  • Participate in the allotted forums to get feedback from your peers.
  • Explore the different website builders when you are working on your team project to see which ones work best for you.  
  • Have fun with it!


For the reflective paper, here are 3 tips:
  • In the time you have allotted each day for class, spend 5 minutes reflecting on your learning experiences that day.  

  • Because you are already online, you may find it helpful to use a blogging software to capture your thoughts.  Here are a few of ideas:
    http://wordpress.com/
    blogger.com
    tumblr.com
    or even a simple Microsoft Word document

  • You may want to create a "binder" using a Word document and use it to collect key posts copied from the forums that you would like to reflect on or respond to in a separate document.  This will save you time and keep you focused when it is time to write.
