Feedback on final #UOSM2008 posts

We were very impressed with the quality of work produced for the final task. It was great to see how well you have 1) embraced the concept of professional digital profiles, 2) produced visual communications rather than words to enhance clarity, creativity and engagement, and 3) appreciated the learning potential of peer review and reflection. In terms of next steps, the feedback sheets are complete and available for you to view, and your marks have gone into the moderation process. Continue reading →

General feedback on Topic 5

Open access is a challenging subject once you dig beneath the initial knee jerk reaction of “of course everything should be free”. The best posts took the opportunity to showcase critical writing skills by examining the issues from the perspective of all parties involved, not just the end users of content. Continue reading →

General feedback on topic 3

Well done for all your efforts in topic 3 - the best set of posts we've yet seen :-) It was good to see a number of you tuning into the importance of authenticity, rather than indulge in lengthy descriptions of how to use LinkedIn, for example. You can achieve more impact by linking to a key piece which describes how to do this, and keeping your words to discuss which aspects you might find useful/difficult to do for yourself and why.

General feedback on topic 2

We were very pleased with the improved quality of work for topic 2. "Online identity" is a huge area and impossible for one person to cover everything, but I hope you agree that collectively the group has produced a variety of interesting perspectives and resources on the topic. Some posts missed the fine distinction between using different accounts to register for particular online services and portraying yourself as a different person altogether. Continue reading →

Thanks for all the enthusiastic and informative topic 1 contributions. We are *really pleased* at the high standard of work and we look forward to reading your topic 2 contributions.

Notes on self assessment

Hi all, a quick reminder that as well as submitting your Topic 1 reflection this Sunday you will also *need to mark your own work*. Sarah has emailed you a link to your marking document using your gmail address (not your uni one). Once you have accessed the document you should highlight in YELLOW the statements in every category which you believe reflects your work. You can add comments too. Continue reading →

Linking to your comments in the reflection post

When you write your Reflective Post for each topic, you should include direct links to the comments you've made on the work of other students. Sarah has explained how to do it in this post. Please read it carefully, because it explains how to link *directly to your comments*, not just to the general blog url. Continue reading →
