Hello\nEveryone \u2013<\/span><\/p>\n\n A warm\nwelcome to the last week of our LRNT 521 course\u2014time flies! Many thanks to all\nof you for your briefing notes (Assignment 3) that I see starting to appear in\nthe Moodle drop box. I will begin reviewing them this week and will have my\nthoughts and comments back to you via Moodle over the next several days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n This\nweek\u00a0<\/span>Unit 5 Activity 1<\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0invites you to take time to\nlook back at where we have been over these nine weeks and reflect on our digital\nidentity and presence decisions as they have evolved \"in the\nmoment\".\u00a0 This is great way to home in on the various decisions you\nhave made and reasons for those decisions which you then can use as you review\nyour Assignment 1 submission to ensure you have included the key decision\npoints there. Don't worry too much about perfecting your audio or video posting\n- just think through a few of your most important learnings and reflections and\nthen share them in a quick and conversational style.<\/span><\/p>\n\n In addition\nto Unit 5 Activity 1, you are also working on Assignment 1 \u2013 Part 2 due on June\n07. It is a synthesis of all of your good work and thinking over the duration\nof this course. Taking time to review the topics from the RRU\nWriting Centre<\/a> will be helpful as you write and edit your final assignment\n\u2013 specifically how to write academic paragraphs. And remember, you can cite\nyour earlier blog posts as some of the evidence backing your claims in this\nassignment as well as the many readings and speaker sessions (remember the\nVirtual Symposium?!) that we have examined as a part of this course.<\/span><\/p>\n\n In\nAssignment 1 \u2013 Part 2, you are critically reflecting on your digital identity\nand digital presence plan and what you have conceptualized, created, and begun\nto cultivate over this course. You are looking back and reflecting on your\nblog, the various activities you have done as part of the course and how they\nhave influenced your thinking, the digital identity, digital presence plan you\ncreated and all of those little decisions you made along the way. For example,\nhave you deviated from your initial plan? Why\/why not? Why did you make the\nchoices you made, etc.? The assignment description offers other question\nprompts for you to consider, and you may also have some of your own. When you\nare exploring them, you are reading and critically examining your work, so you\nwant to have backing for the points you are making. That may come from some of\nthe articles you have read throughout the course, other articles you have read\nor your blog posts. There is an expectation that you will have literature to\nsupport your key points. And as always, with the end in mind,\u00a0it is worth\ntaking a look at the assessment rubric as part of one of your edit\/revisions\ncycles to ensure that you are addressing the assignment invitation and meeting\nthe associated outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
