The assignment this week has two parts.
1. As a group, produce a written research project that takes the form of a wiki.
2. As an individual, reflect on the process.
So, as a first step, as a collective group you will spend the class today producing a written research project that takes the form of a wiki.
Your research topic is: something critically or conceptually engaged with the ideas this week or with overall concepts or reflection on technology: - having to do with the architecture of participation. Link to the directed reading.
For the assignment, you must collectively decide on, plan, write, polish and edit a collective essay.
Everyone in the class gets the same mark. (10%)
Then, in fulfillment of the second part of the assignment, reflect on what your experience. Questions to consider: what are the limitations of this form? Did it work (Why, why not.) How does this written research project differ in form and content from one you would have written by yourself. Give examples. 300 words. (5%)

Kate, a few ideas for you to mull over on this one.
Activity: Collective essay
Goal: is the goal of this activity about the team or using the wiki as a vehicle for writing up a research project?
Q. Do the students know what a research project is? What the elements of this are? or the basic steps? Will you walk them through this in class? Do you need ethics approval for the class to do anything that resembles "research"?
Objectives:
1) Examine the architecture of participation.
2) Relate to the literature
3) Prepare a written essay in your group using a wiki.
4) Examine the strengths and weaknesses of the wiki as an application for research reports.
5) Critically reflect upon...or take a perspective and defend why you think this is so....???
Outcomes:
Q. What is it you really want students to get out of this activity?
Procedures:
list step by step
Criterion:
Q. what are you looking for?
Q. Will you be showing them a good example in the class before they have to do this?
