Wiki Collaboration
We will collaboratively create a wiki that explores the relationship between the Bible and communication technology. Students are expected to contribute at least once per week. Start and end dates are noted in the syllabus. Contributions may be in terms of adding or editing material. I will get things started by giving you material to get the thinking process going (and I will be bringing in material throughout the semester). You should not limit yourself by class material. Dig deep and wide to explore the relationship.
Expectations:
1. Consistent contributions - contributing every week. (and plan ahead, only one person can be in the Wiki at a time, this is an incentive not to wait until the last minute to try to catch up!). This is the most important grading criterion. A wiki is meant to be a living, growing document!
2. Substantial contributions - each student should ultimately contribute about a paragraphs worth of work each week (text, not including images). In addition, students should also be doing "some" editing along the way.
3. Relevant contributions - contributing information/editing that speaks to the wiki topic and/or aids in the presentation of that information. In other words, quality information that adds depth/breadth to the page.
The wiki collaboration assesses course objectives 3, 4, 6 and K-tag objective 2.
Great Questions
Each assigned group will lead a Great Questions discussion on their assigned day. Each question must be approved. Groups will be expected to introduce the question, then generate a discussion. Any materials that you want the class to look at before the discussion should be submitted to me in advance. Groups will have 20 minutes minimum and 30 minutes maximum for their discussion.
