Thank you all for stopping by and signing up for your topics/groups! Here is the final list of who is working on what:
I will send all groups email messages confirming this info so you have each other’s addresses.
A couple of notes on the Group Project:
Good luck with your projects! I’m really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with.
This is the “sign-up sheet” for the Group Projects. Here’s a reminder of what the assignment is about (from the Syllabus):
The main deliverables of the group project are a working model or prototype of a library service built using social software/media tools, and a blog post that explains the service, what software was used to build it, who the target audience is, etc. (there is no particular word-count for the blog post, just make sure that you’ve communicated all the important aspects of your project). I’m looking for a few things with this assignment: creativity, usefulness of the service, and evidence that you’ve thought through a particular “problem” and provided a meaningful solution with your prototype. There are 5 types of tools groups can choose from for this assignment: wikis, social bookmarking/tagging tools, microblogging/lifestreaming tools, social networking tools, and RSS/mashups.
…Each group should run their idea by me — I’d like to make sure you’re on the right track before you put too much work into your project. I’ll put out a call to sign up for groups during week 2, so keep your eyes open for it. Groups should have no more than 4 students and each group will receive a single assessment which will account for 25% of your overall mark. To submit your group project post a link to the prototype and publish the accompanying blog post to one (or all) group members’ blogs, then send me an email with the link to the blog post and an outline of who contributed what to the project (all group members should be cc’d on the message).
To sign up for one of these topics/dates, simply add a comment to this post indicating which topic you would like. As noted above, each group can have a max of 4 students (fewer is fine), so once 4 people have signed up for a group, that topic/group is no longer an option. So please glance over the comments already posted before adding yours in case the topic you wanted is already all spoken for!
I will update this post over the course of the day to indicate when each group has filled up. (Last updated Tuesday, September 14, 20:48)
