• For your Assignment 1 (Individual)
Review of e-Learning materials
Word limit: 1,000 words (±10%)
Marks: 20
Due Date: 5 pm Friday, Week 6
(Soft copy to be uploaded on Blackboard through 'Assignments and due dates' menu AND hard copy along with a FULL safeassign report need to be submitted)
For weeks 3, 4 and 5, e-Learning materials are uploaded on Blackboard (see 'E-learning Activities' menu for these weekly activities) for review and application.
In Week 6, students should choose 2 out of these 3 weekly materials and submit their response in a single report format to their Instructor.
For each material, prepare two paragraphs:
• Paragraph 1: the key ideas from the materials – not a summary – you must select the key ideas (most important) and talk about them.
• Paragraph 2: identify an organisation which would benefit from the application of these ideas and explain how the ideas should be applied.
Students should consult the marking rubric (see below) to see exactly what is required and how your assignment will be marked.
Failure to participate in this assessment will automatically lead to a fail mark in this subject.
You may enrich this assignment with ideas from other materials such as journal articles if you wish. This additional research will be necessary to obtain the best marks.
All ideas in the report must be referenced using Harvard Referencing (in-text citations and full references at the back).
