Awareness Activity Explained

Awareness

This activity involves the identificatioon of various strategies and tools a learner might use to navigate a community and its resources. Help files, directories, a knowledge base, FAQ pages, and the main page of the Landing are all examples. in addition, awareness includes identifying specific resources recommended by others, identifying experts, and reading through at random a variety of artefacts of interest based on the search by keywords.

Here is an example of some awareness-building activities:

Go to Tools - Activity - see what is going on within the AU Landing community.

Go to Help - Review a few of the pages on blogs, the dashboard, the wire, pages and galleries

Type in a number of keywords in the search text field. Identify the types of resources available.

    Thanks for this; I sampled your first sample activity and became aware of Activity, which is a feature I hadn't known the Landing offers, and had been asking for (all of which leaves me feeling foolish, but pleased, at any rate, that the function's there).
