A Rough Draft

Analysis:

"College Success" it is a course that centers on self-discipline, self-appreciation, study habits, life as a student in the real world, and lots of self reflection and idea sharing. So what I am considering is a two-phase approach to the study habit area as well as the sharing. Having the students set up a bookmarking account and sharing it will help them with both online and library research (since I will also have them use the bookmarking tool to create their own personal article or book reference using proper citation ( citation will be a new lesson module as well) The idea, is to give them a personal bookmark foundation which they can use throughout their college career.

The second aspect would be to have then set up a social networking site. For this, we will be using s social networking tool that is academically oriented called Graduate Junction http://www.graduatejunction.net/ .This will move our discussions out of blackboard and into this tool. The logic here is that within Blackboard, the students lose access to the discussions when the class ends. By using a networking site, we can not only retain the discussions, but that site can exist beyond the class as a peer networking site through college, and perhaps beyond.

The coursework is already developed and has been evaluated, so what will be implemented and evaluated here is the deliver and facilitation modes. A redesign of the learning modules will direct the instruction with the web 2.0 applications involved. Basically, the segment will appear as follows:

For the assignments regarding research:
. ASSIGNMENTS: Week 4: Online Topics research**: Select one of the subjects from lesson #5 from page 37-38 of your textbook, On Course. FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS ON THE SUCCESS TASK HANDOUT to gather at least 4 web links (links to web pages) that discuss that subject. Post each of these links on your ZooLoo account and leave a comment or link on at least two other student’s page from the class.

And for the social networking:
ASSIGNMENTS: Week 4: Journal Entry 5**: Complete Journal Entry #5 from page 37-38 of your textbook, On Course.
