Module 3 Discussion Notes:

·      Respond to others’ postings. Our classmates and I frequently ask the others questions. Don’t forget to respond them.

·      Follow-Up Postings: It is a good question to respond to deepen our knowledge on the discussion topic.  It is not required to respond the Follow-Up questions posted by the instructor in the 2^nd posting period but feel free to respond them if you have any thoughts and reflections to share with us, if any. 

·      Challenging Discussion Question: It is great to see we have the students took on the Challenge questions.  Great work!  Don’t be afraid to try to address “Challenging Discussion Question” so you can learn more from our class.  Give it a try even it is not required.

Assignment 4: Signature Assignment: Development of WBI

·      A few notes for you:

o   Each required webpage has all required components.  Read the “Requirement” instructions carefully for each page. Any missing required components will result in point deduction.

o   Make sure all links work.

o   Make sure your pages are easily to find and to navigate. If necessary, add some instructions to the BBLearn discussion area to help the audiences to understand.

I hope these reflections and summaries help you to prepare our upcoming instructions.  If you need any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Regards,

Chih
