About this Blog
- All project descriptions, objectives, specifications and deadlines will be posted here. It is your responsibility to check regularly for important updates, new assignments and topical references.
- The blog is intended to function as an ongoing dialog and extension of the classroom. If you have project-specific questions that arise outside of class please ask. Everyone is welcome to reply and we will respond either online or in class. It is also a good place to ask questions of your classmates.
- Required readings and discussion topics are provided to clarify and expand your knowledge of issues addressed in the course. We will discuss these either as a class or you will be asked to post responses on this blog.
- Visual & creative inspiration abounds online and we encourage you to embark on purposeful surfing. Once you find something relevant to this class that is share-worthy post it.
- Occasionally we will assign an online critique in order to provide an alternative forum for classroom feedback and collaborative effort.
- We will sometimes post comments to your blogs. You will want to read these in a timely manner. To get notifications of when people post to your blog go to: SETTINGS > COMMENTS > Comment Notification Email and insert your email.
- It is helpful to your faculty if you label your posts by class and project, and use consistent labeling.
- The field is found at the bottom of the text area called Labels for this post.
- THEN, you need to add the labels gadget to your side column by going to:
- DESIGN > PAGE ELEMENTS > Add a gadget > Labels.
- As if those reasons aren't enough to get involved in this blog, remember that your online presence does count toward your online participation grade. We evaluate both the quantity and quality of your posts, which is factored into individual project grades under the "process" and "participation" sections.
