Set the stage. [June 24, 2012, 4:18 p.m.]
Your task:
-
Post an answer to: "Who is coming to your course?" You can:
- Draw a picture of a potential P2PU peer
- Brainstorm 3 words that your peers might use
- List where your potential peers hang out--either on the web or in real life (IRL)
- Post the skills you want your peers to master by inserting them into tasks.
Step 1: Define your audience.
Who is your coming? What will attract them?
-
Think about the skills they want. You can tag your course with those skills in the "Course Creation" page.
-
Consider what language they use. You may want to phrase your tasks and activities in terms they are familiar with.
-
Where do they hang out? Think about the places, activities and tools that get your peers jazzed up.
Step 2: Identify Skills.
What do you want learners to be able to do when they are done?
- Make a list of skills you want folks to master in your course. Why are these skills important to your audience?
- Go ahead an create tasks for your course (in Step 2 of the "Course Creation" process).
- Name the tasks with the skills you've identified. For instance, if the skill is "Draw a Project from a 3D Perspective" you might name your task exactly that!
