IWP - Class Notes 1.1
Our first face-to-face (f2f) meeting was pretty straightforward. Five students are taking the course. We started off by talking about what the terms ‘weblog’ and ‘interactive webpublishing’ mean. We then discussed the course content and possible directions we might elect to take. This includes learning about:
1. What weblogs are and what ‘interactive webpublishing’ means.
2. How to use the features of Manila.
3. Quality in webpublishing
4. Interactive Webpublishing: practice and technique
5. Ethical and legal issues in webpublishing
6. Building a personal learning community
We discussed the plan that the first part of the semester would be spent learning steps 1 through 5, although not necessarily in that order. Once we are comfortable with our webpages, our practice of adding content and design, and our habits of reading and commenting on the work of each other; then we’ll get started focusing on step 6, which is really what we’d like to be practicing by the end of the semester. We ended the class talking about the minimum course requrements, peer and self evaluations, and about the reading and task-based assignments for our next f2f meeting.
