THIS IS NO LONGER RELEVANT AS OF SPRING 2023; REFER TO THE CORRECT/NEW SECTION ABOVE
Create 5 updates (in total throughout the course) based on the prompts of the Admin Updates.
There are more admin updates than individual updates that you need to create. Choose the 5 areas that interest you and aligns with your selected topic for the peer-reviewed project.
Focus of the Individual Updates:
- Addresses the Update prompt from the selected admin update: Each update must clearly demonstrate a relationship to the update prompt
- Demonstrates a connection with course ideas: Each update must explicitly connect with an idea or reference introduced in the admin update with which it is connected.
- Aligns with your chosen topic for your peer-reviewed project: To help prepare you for your peer-reviewed project, align each update with your chosen topic.
Where to post them: Post the updates in the Course Community of CGScholar, not on your personal profile page. You will find the ‘Updates’ menu behind the name of the community.
Notice: Updates on your personal profile page are not captured by the Analytics, whereas updates from the community page go to all community members and contribute to your Analytics score for the course.
What to include:
Words: Each update should be 200 words or more, not including the update prompt.
- The Update title should include the related admin update # and a brief, yet descriptive title. If you want to include a sequential number for your own purposes, you can do this as well, but it is important to include the related admin update number so that you and your peers know which one you are responding to
- Repeat the Admin Update number and include the individual update prompt from the related Admin Update at the top of the post, again, to remind your readers what you are responding to.
- Describe an idea or example based on the admin update prompt, aligned with your chosen project topic. This might be a description of innovative practice (your own or others’), an overview and reflection of an educational research report, a description and critical analysis of a new learning technology or curriculum, etc.
- Refer to at least two scholarly references (peer-reviewed journal article or scholarly book) in each update and add an Annotated Bibliography entry.
- Media: Include at least one media element (e.g., images of figures or tables, embedded video with captioned source), and web links to relevant sources. If you have a PDF of the academic article or book, include that in the update.
