My March "to do" list

Creation
Set up your blog and use it to reflect on your project and learning. Make a habit of posting what you are learning and use the questions below to focus your thoughts in March. Follow your fellow participants learning via their blog and make comments where useful.

Phase 1 of your Digital Content - Leading Practice project is about research ( so in March think about blogging around the key questions below) PS these questions align with the TAADES503A unit

Element 1 - Determine the scope and research the e-learning resource.

1. How are you clarifying the focus and brief of your project with your sponsor and Institute?
2. What research are you doing , have you found,  that clarifies your target learners and their characteristics and learning needs?
3. What information have you found, interpreted and analysed that helps you determine the digital content design/learning design for your project?
4. What types of digital content, learning design might be suitable for this learner group? 
5. Are there legal ethical issues you must be aware of, as you design your digital content/learning strategy? 
6. How and where are you documenting your research?

Communication:

•  post to the my.TAFE forum for this group

Collaboration
