Assignment 1: PLE. Submit it via Google Docs.
Be thorough. This is one of the highest course numbers within all ETC courses. The expectations are much higher. Clear statements, and arguments with logical justifications and elaborations are expected. Avoid last-minute work.
Start preparing your group tasks
Complete Lesson 2 readings
We have fairly heavy readings and discussion engagements in Lesson 2.
A few questions been asked by our classmates:
You may find these questions and responses relevant to you.
Q: Can I share the assignment with you before the due date, and continue working on it?
A: Yes. It is a great way to share assignments with me via Google Docs early. You can continue working on it and finish it before the due date.
Q: What time of the date the required instructions are due?
A: Midnight of the due date, unless specified.
Q: Can we email you at chih.tu@nau.edu?
A: Yes, please feel free to email me at my NAU email. I check my NAU email account more often.
Q: It looks like we can visit ETC645 course instructions at https://sites.google.com/site/etc645/ without visiting BBLearn.
A: Yes. Most of the instructions can be accessed on ETC645 Google Sites. Overall, lesson discussions, emails, and grade books are located on BBLearn. The rest of instructions are on Google Sites to implement the pedagogy of Open Educational Resources (OERs) and Open Network Learning Environment (ONLE) designs. In addition, a PDF is created for each page. See the top of each page.
Q: I noticed our assignments are more than paper writing. Any advice for me?
ETC645 and ETC655 assignments are very different from other ETC courses. Because both courses have the highest course numbers, it means we cover more advanced topics that require higher analytical thinking, knowledge and skills. Therefore, last minute work may not result in ideal grades, effective and positive learning experiences. Review required assignment activity requirements early. Plan ample time ahead to prepare them. Elaborate and dwell on the details of your assignments.
Have a wonderful and safe holiday weekend.
