Using Web 2.0 and Social Media to Encourage Deeper Learning

This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.

Week 2 - Project Task [Sept. 1, 2011, 4:47 a.m.]

Last week we finalized the Kit into the following sections.  This week we are going to join our working groups. For time sake, we have preselected the groups (see below, coming soon!). Once you are in your group, discuss which section of the Kit you want to “own”.  Come back to this page and leave a comment with your preferences. You may have to negotiate with other groups to see who gets which section.  

  1. Core Academic Knowledge
  2. Critical Thinking
  3. Complex Problem Solving
  4. Effective Communication
  5. Working in Collaboration
  6. Learning how to Learn
  7. Global Perspective
  8. Other__________


This week with your group please complete the following:

  1. Establish how you will work and communicate - by Skype, Free Conference Call, Google collaborative documents, instant messenger?  It’s up to you.  
  2. Have a “design meeting” with your group, either synchronously or asynchronously, to get to know one another and to determine how you will work together moving forward. You will have Weeks 3-5 to complete your section of the Kit with your group. We will provide direction and structure to this process each week.
  3. Short list the top 3 Kit sections you would like to work on. Note: Once each group submits its preferences, we will assign final sections. Please post your preferences below by October 13, 2011.
