Week 8

A.   The audience that I will deliver my discussion activity to next week will be the same group that I will distribute the “Good Start” material to. I have secured five volunteers to participate in my course. Each of them has experience in the subject matter and more importantly the resources required to complete the tasks within the unit. There are two discussion activities in the unit that I developed. Both of these activities will be conducted within the LMS Moodle.

B.   I will email the students instructions to access the course, most specifically the good start materials, prior to March 14^th. This will allow the students about a week to complete the unit. The first discussion activity will occur within the first two days of instruction and the critique discussion should occur within the last two days of instruction.  All requirements are to be submitted by March 20^th. I have marked reminders in the course calendar to keep the students on task.

C.  The discussion activities will remain intact within the LMS. Since you have been added with teacher privileges, you should be able to access all discussion posts. I will also have transcripts available of all posts as well as email discussions. I chose not to conduct synchronous discussions within the delivered unit. I was fortunate enough to find five individuals willing to free up time from their busy schedules to complete the unit. Finding a time that we could all meet online simultaneously would be a difficult task, so I’ve opted to go with asynchronous discussions for now.
