Landing : Athabascau University

Facilitating Knowledge Building Within AU Landing

This is the roadmap for facilitating knowledge building among participant using AU Landing.

This needs more work - there needs to be some thought put into ways of assisting learners with engaging in finding the resources they need to complete assignments more independently within AU landing.

Some tentative thoughts:

- create blog post forms that act as design schemas - 

- provide the participants structure using guiding questions for different types of knowledge-building activities.

- enable the learners to add/drop form fields to more clearly define their connective writing skills. In addition, add the tagging  feature for each of these text fields.
