When using Prezi and other Web 2.0 tools, you have the learners presenting the knowledge that they have collected thus far, in the professional development. How might this be adapted into creating UGC?

Your site is very easy to navigate through and understand.

Eldon, One way to adapt it into UGC is to have student publish their works and have students provide feedback...What do you think?

Thanks, Kirsten :)

Your integration of the mindmap through SpicyNode and Twitter on your front page are great beginning points

I agree with the effective use of SpicyNode to introduce participants to the professional development. Inside of the SpicyNode presentation, a link to the homepage does not allow access without permission, something I'm sure the participants will have no trouble with.

I really liked your usage of SpicyNode and the mind map to give it a nice visual.

Sarah, I noticed in your peer review that elements were missing (e.g. syllabus). If the course would be active, such components will be included. My goal was to address the objectives of the Unit, which was to address ONLE and connectivism. Writing a syllabus would have just been too time consuming.

Eldon, Not sure what you mean about permission to access the link to the homepage. There is no need to have a Spicynode account to access it, if that is what is the issue.

Thanks, Kirsten. I figured that the usage of SpicyNode would alleviate the stress that one feels when first starting an online course, especially when looking at ONLE and the open structure of such.

What evaluation tools will your participants use? What evalutation tools will you use to evaluate your participants?

Eldon, You'll notice that there is no content in lesson 6. The culminating project for the course is for learners to create a plan of action for professional development efforts at their school site and that would be submitted in the Project Tab as explained I believe in the Spicynode section of assignments. Within each lesson, there are assignments. Typically, assignments are shared via Google Docs. Discussion Board serves as another way to see participation and assess what the students are learning...

How are the discussions and assignments being evaluated?

Sarah, There is a project tab on the wikispace course. It is the intent that most of the work be submitted in the area. Perhaps, it was not clear in my directions.

layout is consistant and easy to follow. Content is also relevant to the topic and audence. Nice work!

Thanks, Sarah. My goal was that: to make it easy to follow while still provident relevant content :)
