Before Starting
- Pick the purpose BEFORE the platform
- Familiarize yourself with the technology
- Identify learning outcomes (& ensure they are in alignment with course learning objectives)
- Create specific assignment criteria & rubrics (minimum text/image requirements, how these will be assessed)
- Have a friend or colleague review the assignment to provide feedback on where clarification may be needed
Introducing the Social Media Assignment
- Inform your students of the assignment requirements the first day of class so they may withdraw if uncomfortable
- Discuss online privacy and provide suggestions for keeping their identities and submissions private
- Plan to reserve a computer-equipped classroom so you may assist students with the initial setup
- Discuss web accessibility issues & encourage students to follow best practices
- Provide immediate and frequent feedback for longer-term assignments
Exercise Common Sense
- Avoid the use of any course-identifying information (i.e. #MGT101)
- Allow students the option to use an allias
- Do not provide grades or feedback that may indicate a grade within your publicly viewable comments
