Week4:What is your evaluation of this week’s groupwork? (What went well and what did not? How did groupwork influence fulfilling your personal learning contract?)

Our group page http://tallinnuniversityprojects.pbworks.com/
We had first skype meeting where we discussed our home work. I think all went well, because everyone in group paricpate in homework.This week we had group work. We met the with group members in Skype. Was nice to do group work which was multicultural. However everything went well. Everyone did work and wrote own things to shared Google Docs document.

Explain, what are the components of course design.


Material-these must be cleared. Also there should be good grammatics and locigal designs.

Ofcourse there should be relavent topics.
Feedbacks- User get feedback by others learnens and facilators
clear interface- learnes dont be confused where they get needful learning objects
clear information- there are evaltion criteriars and goals, also tasks
involvment- I think its very important. Learners and facilator must be purposeful and
motivated to do many tasks

What was the most important thing you learned this week? What kind of

questions/ideas/experiences this week’s activities raised for you?
I have learned new methods. Most important thing what I have learend was how to do group work if you cant meet others

group members. For me it was first time do to group work in this way. One thing is how we get agreement which tools we can use. Second important thing is how management this group. I think I learned from every member something.

Describe what has changed in your personal learning environment and in group environment?

I think in my personmal learning environment nothing has changed. In group environment I am using collobration tools which I used before rarely.

Find at least one good and one bad example case of course design and reflect your opinions of these courses in your personal Weblog. Visit the blogs of your groupmates, read their reflections of course designs and add your opinions as comments about these courses.

I havent take part of following courses. I search them to topic which I have intrest and where I want to particpating.

IFI7139- 3 week

I have a read a 8. chapter „Developing team skills and accomplishing team projects online “ by Debora C. Hurst and Janice Thomas. In the beginning e-learing could could be negative aspects for learners if they are scare working in team. If they are scare they would fail when they are using new techchnologies. In this point is very important other group members supports and minimize a stress. That encourages take risks and overcome challenges in team work.
People also must sharing information about they inviduals commitments others group members. This helping predict project deadline and how difficult is complete project. Subsequentaly are points if team wants to work in succesful way.

1. The deadlines must be met. This project was important to all.
2. Whoever was best able to lead on a particular task would do so.
3. Each member would contribute 150% to this project, and
endeavor not to let the other team members down.
4. Team members would raise a flag (let others know about tasks
not likely to get done on time).
5. Team members would pitch in to complete work as needed.

In this week I introduced my group members via blogs. Also we pondered which gropuwork communication tool we can use. We decided to use PBWorks. For me it was new collobration tool.
Others weeks I will try to follow these 5 points:)

IFI7139- 2 week

- My objectives: Why I wish to learn/do something, what is meaningful for me/for my group as part of the assignment I am responsible of?

I would like to use e-learning skills in secondary school.
For me is meaningful to know how e-learning works trough invidual and group works.

What resources will I need: What software tools and resources I am going to use? Resources can be people, different artifacts, materials.

I would like to use Google Apps. There I can use many applications which include
colloprations applications-Goole Docs and Google Chat. Also Standard Ediction include
with Gmail and Google Calender. Interesting softwre which I want to use is a Skype.

What is my strategy to achieve my objectives? What is the order of my actions? How will I use different resources in my actions?

To achive my goals I will read every week all materials in course page. If I cant read materials
currently weeks I am sure I will read them others week:) I want to know what others particpants think
about these materials. Also I read they blogs to get familiar every particpants in e-learing course.

The order of my actions
1. I will read course page
2. If there is more I want get know then I will explore more informations or software
3. I will read others particpants blogs.


How do I know that I was successful? Develop measurable criteria to evaluate your activities in respect of your objectives.
I know I was succesful If i read all materials in every week. Like I said in previous point
I want to read all blogs and also I want to comment them. If I do all these steps I am sure I am glad.

Reflect and summarize on course readings in your personal Weblog: What are the trends in e-learning and how do they influence online course design?

E-learing become popular. Student can choose appropriate programs and learning style. They cant be passive. In e-learing is very important collobration. E-learing helps grown students indepedencies to make choices and social skills.

One of the common e-learing trend that people who intrest something can work to togehter. If a student cares about something--if they have a passion for something--they can learn about it and they can actually produce work in the field and become a contributing part of that community.” (Hargadon 2008) The main thing is people cant be anymore passive. All people should make collobration.

Martin Weller believe that in the future have un-structured e-learning content managment systems. She belive the walled garden of the VLE provides a "trusted brand" (as Grainne Conole discussed at OpenLearn2007) which is very attractive to students. Otherwise, why would they want to pay us £3k a year for tuition - and then use Google?”

Most important things what I learned about was theorys for online learning. Which on students are in e-learing, how they behave there and how to teach them.
