Kids do not have to <BR>produce a website for the public - it's purely for the virtual team's needs.<BR><BR>The tools available on this restricted site enable that knowledge <BR>sharing and decision making (e.g. forums, online voting, mailing lists, <BR>file repositories, networked calendars, IRC etc)<BR><BR>The tools do not all need to be functional (hence the term 'prototype <BR>website'), but should indicate that the student knows WHAT tools are <BR>available and relevant, and HOW and WHY they are relevant.<BR><BR>e.g. kids could find a web forum, take a screenshot and replace the text <BR>with a graphics program so it looks like the team members are organising <BR>a time for a videoconference, or discussing the pros and cons of an <BR>idea. The kid could then stick the image on their webpage so it looks <BR>like a real and active forum. In that way the student has demonstrated <BR>awareness of the value of a given tool in helping the virtual team <BR>achieve its goals.<BR><BR>The task wants kids more to demonstrate _understanding_ than to be able <BR>to (say) magically construct a workin
g Moodle in 3 periods on a network <BR>that is so tied-down with security that it's simply impossible even if <BR>they had the time and the skill.<BR><BR>2.2 cents worth<BR><BR>Mark<BR><BR><BR><BR>Paul Miller wrote:<BR>> Hi All,<BR>> <BR>> Been a while since I've written to the list, although Unit 3 - Outcome 2<BR>> has inspired me to do so!<BR>> <BR>> I was curious about the virtual teams website.<BR>> <BR>> Is it just a virtual teams prototype website for a company or do we need<BR>> to include some "normal" website pages (e.g. company info etc) and then<BR>> links to the virtual teams prototype component? I would think that it is<BR>> the latter given we are expected to look at formats and conventions etc.<BR>> <BR>> I've taught IPM for 7 years now, and must confess that this is the first<BR>> time I am a little dissapointed with an assessment task. I'm quite<BR>> confused about the exact requirements of the task and don't really see<BR>> the point in using screen dumps and copy and paste to create a virtual<BR>> teams prototype, or creating one from scratch. Surely it would never be<BR>> done with this sort of hassle in the industry (mind you, this comes from<BR>> someone who hasn't worked a day in the industry so excuse my naivity).<BR>> At year 12 level, I would would hope they would be doing something more<BR>> meaningful than this in a 400 minute SAC. Dunno, maybe I'm missing<BR>> something.<BR>> <BR>> Anyway, thats my whinge for the day,<BR>> <BR>> Good luck to all!<BR>> <BR>> Paul.<BR>> <BR>> ____________________________________<BR>> Paul Miller<BR>> Our Lady of the Sacred Heart College (OLSH)<BR>> 111 Jasper Road <BR>> BENTLEIGH 3204<BR>> Ph: (03) 9563 9522 Fax: (03) 9563 9484<BR>> <BR>> pmiller@olsh.vic.edu.au<BR>> http://www.olsh.vic.edu.au/Sports%20Website/index.htm<BR>> This e-mail and any attachments may be confidential.
