1. News on update of the Learning Circle
We have posted to you the Learning Circle update as of 25th of October 2009. From the update, we have realized that you are preparing the answers.
2. Agenda for the week (Responding to sponsored questions).
This week marks the second week of responding to sponsored questions. Your classes are now going to research and respond to the sponsored questions received from your Learning Circle partners. The process will take 4 weeks to complete. Remember your Learning Circle partners are expecting to find responses to their questions in the Wiki pages to enable them prepare their summaries on time.
To make the Learning Circle process interesting, it will be ideal to share responsibilities in your class.
Main recommendations for organizing research:
Research process include:
• Problem definition…the question
• A plan to answer or resolve the problem
• Use of objective data
• Collection of data
• Data recording
• Presentation
You can use different methods for your own research: searching information in the Internet, questionnaire, interview, experiment, observation, etc.
Include photos, diagrams, video clips to illustrate your answers.
Click on Research and Answers and post your answer on the page of the specific question.
3. Removal of inactive classes from the Learning Circle
As you aware, we are in our 5th week of the Learning Circle, half way through the Learning Circle process. We would like to inform you that there are no inactive classes in this Learning Circle.
4. Criteria for quality answers:
1. Should be posted on time
2. Clear definition without possible misinterpretation, taking into consideration cultural differences.
3. The answer always starts with repeating the question.
4. Answers should reflect that research has been done and should consist of clear references, mention (re)sources used showing research has been done
5. Minimum number of words should be for Communication Based LC – 150 words in one answer.
