The final wrap up [Draft Notes]



Congratulations, you've now reached the end of the Web 2.0 Adventure! We hope you have enjoyed (at least some of) it and that you have learned things which will be relevant to your current and future careers. And that you will keep on exploring!

It has been good to have to write about the tools.  My strategy has been to contribute to the conversation, trying to be helpful where I can.  I think this has worked well.
Keep in mind the five assessment criteria for this assignment - Participation, Interaction & communication, Execution, Persistence and Reflection (see the handout).
You might also like to comment on the suitability of these as assessment criteria.
Assessing it in this way.  Judging by how the other ones have gone from prior semesters, tend to be abandoned.  Blogs average abandoned age.  Example from semester 1.
Suitability of blogging platform < low value activity.  Commenting on others.


Tell us (honestly!) how you feel the activity has helped you develop your skills and understanding of web technologies.
Programming > reason I abandoned my topic for ISYS


And how relevant has it been to your future (or current) career as an information professional?
Monitor twitter > current infromation.  In addition to updating ISYS sylabus...proquest, google....real time...act on it straight away


Other librarian blogs at RMIT.  http://raws.adc.rmit.edu.au/~e05223/  I know the media and communications guy has one as well.  Latrobe uni also have a library blog.
Read to see the standard.
Have you struggled? 
Attitude > complaint re listing in search engines
Specifically requested.
Is it all a bit of a blur? 
I was a bit light on in Wks 4 and 5 , have looked at these sections else where.

Did you know it all beforehand? 
Still not convinced, I believe a lot of these tools are simply more polished (ie front end cms) web 1.0 tools.  Is it really anything new?
How should we change it next year? 
Some of this should be pushed back into updating the IKE 1 sylabus.
Go for the whole semester....


Is there too much to do / not enough to do? etc etc.
Work level was ok if you did a little bit at a time.

Any comments on the communication process in your group, better ways to facilititate it?
Variety of stages, left it as it was, a little bit at a time.


No specific length, but I imagine you could write 300-500 words or more on this, maybe spread over several postings.

Good luck!
