Week+One

This page has all you need to know about your tasks and activities for Week One. Note that there are links provided for your online readings, and links are provided for your learning activities. Just click on the links for instructions on how to complete your assignments.Make sure you spend enough time figuring out the wiki, and make sure you read everything through.

To participate in the Week One discussions, click the discussion tab at the **top of this page**. You will notice that the Week Two also has a discussion tab, as do all the other weeks of the course. By keeping the weekly discussions separate from each other, it will be easier to follow the threads and the discussions won't get overly long. Make sure you use the subject headings provided for each thread. I suggest that you do not change them, so that our threads remain untangled.You may also start your own threads as well--and you can find a list of the threads for each page's Discussion Forum on the "Back to the Discussion Forum" link located at the top of each Discussion Forum Page.

Note that the discussions ARE the "lecture." My participation includes longer responses that draw from my knowledge of the research, the topic, and the field. I may occasionally post a PowerPoint as needed, or add some extra content, depending on your needs. My responses will also guide the discussion along pathways that are most conducive to your gaining deep understanding of instructional design.

Read over the Participant Expectation Rubric. This is a form that you will send to me two times this semester.
