FINAL PROJECT OUTLINE:
“Although a written submission will be accepted, consider the modality of this course and consider creating something that reflects the media-connected experience we are all sharing this year.”
The final assignment will consist of your groups creating a walkthrough of PLN themes, platforms, and practices that you have explored during the term. Students should include a variety of discussions about how a PLN should be created, managed, and engaged, including dialogue about how a PLN interacts with social media platforms, highlighting aspects that were the most meaningful during their course trajectory, and any instances of personal experience devoting a PLN within a professional capacity.
Marking will be based on evidence-based examples, the use of professional and engaging language, and the quality of presentation delivery. You will include descriptions of the process and steps that a person would need to take in order to build a personal learning network (PLN) using a variety of social media platforms that would best support your professional and personal learning goals.
