Formative+assessment

__**Formative Assessment**__ :
Hi Chris and Team, you have done some really interesting research here. However I found your structure and navigation difficult to follow. For instance when I land on your home page I am not sure what I am expected to understand or do. I think perhaps if you considered how you could guide your viewers through the wiki so they understand your process and purpose. I also thought that if you could represent your findings and conclusion in a visual way as well as just text, it would help visual people like me to understand it. Hope this helps. Shaun Thanks Shaun duly noted and acted upon check it out hi Chris Liz and Tim I agree with Shaun, both in the spectacular quality of your research, and in the difficulty for the reader navigating. The cover image is very striking. However it is not immediately apparent to me as reader why you have selected it to introduce your wiki. It gives me the impression that your topic will be an examination of categories of elearning. What about a map with your geographical areas highlighted? Or something like that? In the LH nav, the pages don't seem to be in an order that makes sense to me as a reader. Can you re-order them, perhaps making use of hierarchical headings? I wonder whether that would help clarify the intended structure. Perhaps a relevant overall title (rather than 'Foundations of Elearning') would also assist the 'cold' reader. Cheers Ardis Thanks Ardis We have changed the first page as your comment were accurate. It didn't apply to anything. We have reordered our pages in nav so they follow a logical sequence. We have also changed titles to one that is more apt Hi Guys, It looks like you have made it through your nav issues and it all works fine - no problem for me to navigate. There is a spectacular amount of research here, congratulations on all your hardwork. A minor thing, the font size for the Korean section is a lot bigger than the other sections, you may want to bring into line with the other pages. Regards Jo Y ou're absolutely the font size is way too big and is now altered. Yes, Chris, I agree with Shaun too. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">You have presented a lot of interesting things, it will be better if you could highlight your findings a lit bit. I found that is what I am most interested to have a read. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Cheers, Luchen <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Hi Luchen, <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">thanx for that have changed conclusion under n.z. entry. Let us know what u think <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">cheers Chris Hi Guys. You have a lot of interesting information on this site. It was a good read. One qustion- How do I reply to your questions? I couldn't seem to find a button that allows me to comment or or reply to the question..... Cheers Thomas Try the videos page there is a link to discussion question 1 under the first video. Alternatively you could click the link Questions in Nav' bar on the right hand side let me know how yoy get on cheers Chris I've checked this and it doesnt work so I am going to have to use the discussion option in the wiki thanks for pointing that out.

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Hi Team <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">It was an interesting site, lots of information and great to read about the comparisons, especially from S Africa as my wife was at school there for some years. I thought about the NZ stance, great stuff but the only feedback I could give, would be that you could possibly add some new e-learning vision from MOE? <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">I put a link [|here] with current MOE e-learning documents. <span style="color: #333333; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Great work! Darren <span style="color: #008000; font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 14.6667px;">Thanks Darren that's a great link I wish I had had it a couple of weeks ago. Hi Chris, Tim and Liz, It's clear that you've all made considerable effort to explore your chosen area in some depth - well done. What's not quite so clear are the connections between each of your chosen countries. So here are a few things to ponder: It's great to see you've been so responsive to suggestions from the class Chris and Liz. The co-construction process is an excellent way for everyone to develop more refined, high quality work. Cheers Maggie Thanks Maggie we have thought and discussed point one and made a defining statement that we consider these three countries interesting based on the facts of their situations. South Korea very rich, abundant infrastructure, concentrate on hardware New Zealand expanding infrastructure, concentrating on professional development, Africa poor, poor infrastructure, poor hardware using mlearning technology. Conclusion is a on going process being constantly added to and evaluated and rewritten where necessary References have been incorporated onto one page. It is the sensible thing to do Text on African and South Korean sections have been broken up with visual elements. Direct quotes have been identified and are being currently reviewed and rewritten
 * In your introduction it might be helpful to the user to clarify why you've chosen these particular countries as examples. What is it about them that characterises them as important or worthy of in-depth study?
 * What can they teach us overall about the changes going on in the world in relation to e-learning?
 * The same applies for the conclusion. You have done some synthesis work here (i.e. drawing your work together) but I think your wiki would benefit from this being developed further.
 * Consider incorporating all of your references on to one page to cut down on the number of pages in the wiki. It will also help reduce the impression that each section is isolated and discrete.
 * Consider breaking up the text in the Korea and Africa sections with some additional visual elements.
 * I also noticed quite a few quotes in the text throughout. Can the ideas be synthesised (brought together to highlight the key points) so there's on a few direct quotes required.
