Contents of Project Wiki Page
Copy EVERYTHING on this page from "Production Schedule" to the bottom of this page (below) and paste it onto your Project Wiki Page.
Complete these tasks in this order (to be completed by 4/7):
- Customize the schedule for your group.
- Pre-fill the "Confidential Peer Evaluation" forms with individual's names and tasks, based on your group's Production Schedule.
Otherwise, this page is the space and creation of you and your group member's. Use it to collaborate asynchronously. But note that if you want to have a virtual meeting, you can insert a plugin from the toolbar above to engage in synchronous chat.
Production Schedule
Working with others on your project team (most likely a subset of the "medium group," if there are several different projects being created in this medium"), you will create a Production Schedule for your project.
Steps:
- Find at least one internet source that discusses production in the medium (e.g., "blog production," or "web production"). Post the link
- http://www.ext.colostate.edu/site/webdes1.htm This is more informative in what should be available on a website, not exactly how to technically build one. Building one is so easy that I thought the content should be considered, this link provides that.
-
- Using the information from this source, along with the criteria from your rubric, create a list (on your wiki page) of everything you will have to do in order to achieve an "A" on the project. See "To Do List" below.
- Agree upon what a midterm "draft" of the project will be (ie., what the project will look like when it is halfway finished) and get my approval on this. If you are working with any form of digital storytelling (video production or podcasting), plan to be finished with shooting and/or recording by this date (i.e., by midterm, you should have all the raw footage of your piece completed and have only editing and post-production left to do).
- Plan to have that "draft" completed by the beginning of class on April 21. This week you will also plan to meet with the technology trainer to follow up on the project, anticipate next steps, and possibly revise your plans. Add this meeting (and scheduling it) to your "To Do" list.
- Assign tasks to particular people in the group in order to meet that April 21 deadline, using the "Person Responsible" line, as shown in the Production Schedule below. Make sure that the workload is evenly distributed amongst all group members. Assign these tasks using the "Production Schedule" below.
- Using your list from #2, figure out what tasks remain after April 21 to complete the project at the "A" level by May 5. Assign tasks to individuals, using the same principles you used for #5. (If you are doing a video or a podcast, you will publish your piece to the appropriate web community ON MAY 5 -- or as shortly thereafter as possible --, but ALL production will be complete by this date.
- Revise your Project Proposal accordingly and plan to submit a final version of it on the wiki, along with your group's Production Schedule (see below for where you should attach the revised proposal -- use the "Attach File" icon on the toolbar above to upload the document).
To Get an "A" list:
- Meet with Tera, get her advice on my website.
- Question the length of my opening page, maybe add some links?
- Add a historical page.
- Work on the classifieds page and find more upcoming events or meetings
- publicize my web page by email, posters word of mouth

Weekly Peer Reflection
Pre-fill "Confidential Peer Evaluation" forms
Once you are finished with the Production Schedule, copy and paste from it in order to pre-fill the weekly "Confidential Peer Evaluation" forms and attach the completed, pre-filled form beneath the appropriate date below.
Pre-fill it by following these directions:
- Open this form
Eval Form - Type your group's name in "Group" blank on the first line
- Type "4/7/08" in the "Date of Meeting/Assessment" blank
- Type the names of individual group members and the tasks assigned to them to be completed by April 7 on the appropriate blanks on the form (cut and paste from the Production Schedule)
- Save this form and attach it in the blank beneath April 7 below, so that individual group members can individually dowload and complete the form before class on April 7
- Repeat steps 1-5 for April 14-May 5
Be sure to divide this inputting among group members so that the work is equitably divided amongst group members. DUE: April 7
WEEKLY: Complete the "Confidential Peer Evaluation" forms
Each week, each group member will download one copy of that week's form, evaluate each group member's performance (including him or herself) BEFORE class begins, and submit the confidential form to me at the beginning of class. Forms not completed before class will not be accepted, and the indivdiual will receive "0" points for that week's assessment.
If individual tasks have changed since the form was first pre-filled, be sure to note these changes on the wiki no later than Monday at 8am for that day's evaluation.
