I am an Action Research Person.
The wimba session was an introduction to the course and the Professor Joe Bustillos. I will have Professor Bustillos for two courses. Months ago, I remember receiving an email about creating a vcard from Joe Bustillos. Then, the only thing I heard was all the fanfare via his colleagues, and former students of whom is Joe Bustillos. The word was that Professor Bustillos is a computer guru, online and available in cyber space! Hearing from the wimba session, it appears to be true.
Lots of reading! The class requires a lot of reading, eleven reading assignments within three weeks. Bustillos recommends focused academic reading, with the purpose of comprehension. Read all the pieces of literature. Comment on the article in third person. Each student will blog one post about the reading and comment on two other blog posts. Copy the first paragraph of the commented blogs into one’s own blog.
A suggestion is to look ahead at assignments.
Dashboard Discussion:
Discussion boards are to be a conversation, commented at least once a week.
The Action Research’s Literature Review is due this week. I have never sent my Literature Review in for review, before. I think I am out of the Action Research Loop. I will look into it the Action Research this week.
Late assignments are accepted based on previous discussions with the professor.

Blog: Assignments go into one’s Blog. Each person can create a separate blog for this class. Blogger or iweb can be used. This will continue next month.
Question:
My question is how can one download a wimba session inclusive of the slides for iTunes? I often listen to the archives while in transit, and often the professor is referencing a slide.
Why is Dashboard programmed to focus students on week by week?
As far as the download, you can go to the wimba archive, pick the session that you want to listen to/watch and there's a "downloads" link in the toolbar at the center of the screen. Click "Download MP4" to get the "video" version of the session. You can then drag and drop that file to your iTunes to add it to iTunes and then you'll need to tell iTunes to sync the file(s) with your device.
ReplyDeleteAs for why Dashboard is week specific, great question. It's more like focuses on due date/pull dates making it focused on the week.
