Further information

Hi everyone,

It has been a hectic time with all the developments in the context of academic elections.

Well, let's get back to business and catch up with the work.

The deadline for week 4 is already over and hopefully you have contributed to your class padlet with materials on Project Based Learning.

I have not checked it but I will certainly do in the upcoming days.

You should have continued with your blog post and comment even though I have not been "online" to keep up with all the posts and comments.

Regarding week 5 and the rest of the weeks. There are a few things that I would like to clarify and it is related to the final assignment and examination.

1. Firstly, I would like group B to pair up and write the pairs that they have created on a document and send it to me via email so I can upload it on the class website.
2. Grou A you have your pairs, I have uploaded the document under the Blog Roll of your group, so you can change it.
3. The pairs will start working on the final project. And all the upcoming weeks will guide you through that process. The project will be similar to what I showed you during the first lecture or you could check some of the previous years project.
4. Both groups can access the document on the website under the Final Project page 2016 and the "steps document" and there you will find more information about your project and the future assignments.
5. This week, which is week 5, you have to explore a website to learn how to create online projects. You will not only learn but you are required to create one. You can do this tiny project in the pairs that you are going to form or you already have formed. This can be any project different from the final one or why not an initial step towards your final assessment.
6. Under the Forms and Docs you can find the rubrics (the basis of your assessment). I advise you read those documents so you will know how you will be assessed and about what.

Group A, if I have forgotten anything, could you please add some more information for your friends of Group B regarding the final assignment and project?

To both groups: since this week's assignment is about an online task and we do not have enough computers to work in the classrooms, I was thinking to meet "online" on the respective hours and you could work on the task and "hand" it to me at the end of the class?? Or would you like to meet and work in the classroom?

Discuss it as a group, this is a decision that should be taken by the group not individuals and let me know. Each of you could have a saying as a comment to this message and I will listen to the majority and act accordingly.

Thank you and if you have any other question please feel free to comment and ask.

The deadline for this task for week 5 will be the respective classes for both groups, i.e. for Group B - 4.00 pm when we finish class and for Group A - 6.00 pm.

Have a nice evening and do not forget to go tomorrow and have your saying for your future decision makers.

See you soon!!1

  1. Hello teacher,
    Thank you for the detailed information and sorry for the delay. Actually, the class was in favour of doing an online class, but we are a bit lost and concerned whether we could manage to create that online project, thus it would be helful if we could meet at class and clarify things.
    Thank you.

    1. Hi,
      I do not mind either way. I also read Ejona's comment and I could postpone the deadline for you tomorrow at 24:00 for the online project.
      Let me know whether you would still like to meet at the lab or if you're going to the conference, so I do not have to come in person but I can be available online at anytime between 1 pm to 6 pm tomorrow.
      Waiting for your decision.

  2. Professor, something else that we as a class discussed but Viola did not mention was if it is possible to delay the deadline of the assignment until tomorrow at 24:00.
    Thanks in advance!

    1. Thank you Esa for your promptness. O.K then depending on the time of the conference, we will meet online. I could do the class roll online or I will leave that aside and presume that everyone is present because you will have to submit the project by 4 o'clock so I will know who is present or not.
      Whether you are right or not with the assignment you won't know unless you upload.

      Thank you and see you in person on Wednesday and see you around online.

  5. Hi Prof. Hasa,

    Group B discussed about the lesson tomorrow and the majority are for having lessons in the classroom despite the fact that there is an ELTA Conference being held at the same time. Therefore, if you are available, please let us know so we can meet same time, same place as always.

    As for the pairs, an e-mail is on the way.

    Thanks

    1. Ok Fitore, is this comment following Esa Nubian's comment above (pls read) the final one?

      I will definitely be there if you would like me to be in class.

      Let me know again and see you tomorrow according to the schedule.

    2. We talked about it after Esa, had posted on here and most of the ones who were present wanted to come to class but of course, there were also those who didn't give their opinion or were against.

  7. Hello, teacher! If we are going to have class tomorrow, is it obligatory for everyone to paricipate even thought we have created our web?
    Thank you in advance!

    P. S Personally, I think I have created my web and uploaded it on assignments of week 5. In my opinion it isn't necessary to meet at class tomorrow.

  8. Prof. Daniela i agree with Fitore and Viola. I personally think that it would be better if we meet at class and clarify things.
