Learning contract

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?

As we have just divided roles this part of contract might perhaps have some supplementary lines later :)

The question why is quite difficult. I want to want to have an understanding about:
1. theoretical basis of elearning (education science)
a. self-directed learning
b. intrinsic motivation
c. different approaches to the learning

I want to have some knowledge (just facts) about:
2. different technological possibilities how to implement good elearning course.

So that I could understand the (e)learning better and have some knowledge how to create a successful elearning course.

What resources will i need:
What software tools and resources i am going to use? Resources can be people, different artifacts, materials.
People
• Members of my group (incl facilitator), discussion with them.
• Other members of this course as source of information

Materials
• Communication:
o Blogs: Reflection and personal communication (how to
o Wikispaces: collaboration between group-members
o Skype: communication between group members
o Email & feeds in blogs
o Doodle: for polls
o Moodle: assignments and learning materials
• Documents
o MS Word: reading course materials and writing my own contributions.

How will i do it:
What is my strategy to achieve my objectives? What is the order of my actions? How will i use different resources in my actions?
Go through the weekly materials as a basis for the decisions made for the course design by the end of the course. Follow the weekly assignments to gain better understanding about the subject and also test this in practice by evolving our own course what is under development. Deepen and broaden my knowledge and views through writing reflections and comments to my group-mates.

Evaluation criteria:
How do I know that i was successful? Develop measurable criteria to evaluate your activities in respect of your objectives.
1. Know how to use different technological tools while implementing good elearning course.
2. Reading and learning reflections are done.
3. Reflections and/ or comments and/or contributions to the group-work consists argumentation about self-directed learning, intrinsic motivation and different approaches to the learning.

As I am rather critical then satisfaction with myself is a good criteria? ;)

Self-reflection:
Did i achieve my objectives? Use the criteria what you developed to assess how well did you work. Reflect, what worked and what did not?
