Myths of Use ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Proposition from student data ,[object Object],I have been a regular and proficient user of IT (systems and hardware), but I have been astounded by the fact of how much I didn't know about blogs and wiki's. Its rather confusing to learn in other ways. setting up blogs is the hardest part. it took me ages to get up and running on myspace.

Underpinning skills ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],None of us have contributed to a wiki before and its daunting but we need to get over it.

Observed Phenomenon: wiki ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Observed Phenomenon: other ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Wikis not collaborative NB: series 1 had 14 potential contributors, the rest were group work wikis with 4 group members.

Trust Please do not mind if i have changed your work on the Wiki, as i have heard that from other groups that their members have minded. I would be OK with this as long as someone told me first before they wanted to change something and explained the reasons why

Group working ,[object Object],Big problem with personality clashes…since then nobody has left a note on the blog…I think it would have happened anyway

Repeat pages User error? Deliberate

Cut & Paste ,[object Object],[object Object],Please if you copy pictures or quote things please put the website in the bibliography using the harvard referencing.

Offline Meetings We appear to be making little or no progress!!!! I believe that face-to-face communication may be more successful . May I also add that this module is about taking the communication tools that have been provided to us and to use them!

Confusion / Profusion of tools ,[object Object],Don’t know if you've managed to see the messages/e-mails left … let us know if you can by posting a message on the blog!

To Ponder ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

Questions raised ,[object Object],[object Object],All the students at the focus group agreed that the support given by the tutor was vital to their positive experience of the module
