course materials in delicious

May 6th, 2008

I think there has been quite a good job in planning the course model.

course outline

I can see that there are no bookmarks at our shared account.

What if to make it like the task - each member of the group needs to find 5 suitable materials for certain topic?

Later you can choose which exactly fits by voting or by adding extra tags and comments to these materials in delicious.

If the topics are clear, you could add these topics as some tags or bundles to delicious and then find suitable materials?

So here is what you decided what we need to collect:

  1. Guide to setting up a blog
  2. Guide to using a blog
  3. Guide to using RSS feeds and aggregators
  4. Guide to finding other blogs with related information

As addition to the previous we need to search free articles for the following purposes:

  1. Reading material for background of blogs
  2. Reading material for technological background of blogs
  3. Reading material for pedagogical use of blogs

Later you can use this collection in delicious as the place where your course prototype students are supposed to get materials.

Furthermore, when selecting materials, pay attention that they were helpful for these assignments:

  1. What web and social software I’ve used in the past and for what purposes. Explain what you know about the background of these software solutions and what you know about their use as learning tools.
  2. For what purposes blogs have been developed for and what is their background. Based on the given materials and the materials you’ve found, explain how you would use blogs as learning tools and what are their strenghts in this.
  3. What are feeds and how you would use them to help your work.
  4. No bloody idea yet… :P Fourth essay => to evaluate how well the learners have succeeded in gathering deep and profound knowledge about the subject when comparing the last essay to the first one
