Learning, Online

I thought a quote might be appropriate:

A difficult time can be more readily endured if we retain the conviction that our existence holds a purpose - a cause to pursue or a goal to achieve.

--John Maxwell

Notes after posting the CVC article.

Well I definitely feel that this writing assignment was a challenge for me. I am so ingrained in writing research style papers, I found it hard to pull away to write in any other style. After reading some of the other articles submitted by classmates I was able to see better what was expected.

Maybe a style sheet would have helped those of us who needed more direction.

For example:

Articles should focus on a topic related to Learning Communities, Social Capital, or another topic from the modules leading up to this assignment.

First person example are good. Conveying an experience that you are familiar with even if it is not your own experience also works (no actual names)

Use 3 to 5 references paraphrase as much as possible In the text, try to limit citations to two.

Add all citations to the bottom of the article.

Overall, I enjoyed the experience an feel that it is an amazing opportunity to write an article, have it review and potentially submit it for publication. This really demonstrates for me the need for all of us to a part of the dialogue, and scholarship in this field.
