Students learning will be assessed by monitoring their blogs, seeing their collaborations in the different wiki spaces and the mind map. Also by marking their assessment on the their online glogster poster.
About the pedagogy design
I have designed the following unit for students to work individually, seamlessly throughout. The unit is set out so students are self directed, with instructions being clear on what is expected and what is to be done. Also at various times students can go into forums to elaborate their own work to their peers, as well as looking at others ideas. This unit can be completed in class, but most components can be done at home. No instructions are needed for students, but I feel a quick discussion on the topic before students log in gives them a chance to not be shocked and overwhelmed.
