Lesson 5 Discussions: Instructor’s Reflections

As usual, here are my reflections for each discussion topic to share with you and to help you to conclude our Lesson 5 discussions.   KEY-1-OCoP-Instructor's Reflection: Hard & Soft Online Technology OCoP is more challenging than FTF CoP.

Common feedback for Assignment 3

(same message posted to BBLearn discussion board & course announcement) Below are the common feedback for Assignment 3 to help us to improve ideas, designs, and development.  After reviewing all our Assignment 3, I identities a few key points to help us to improve the designs for our group final PD.  The provided feedback/comments focus on helping to think through different issues while designing rather than right or wrong types of feedback. Each of your design context is very unique.  You are the ones know the context the best.  I am here to assist or remind you to thin through different perspectives and issues.  And what other possible designs we may consider.  I hope you find them useful.  Feel free to contact me if you need any support for your assignment. ·          Design Ideas: I like many of your design ideas.  They are very creative.  Some of you challenge yourself with ve...
