Location: Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL 1B50)
4/30 from Hal
Some notes from Jim on next session (Weds)
This lesson will explore two concepts:
sketch: a rapidly executed freehand drawing that is not intended as a finished work, often consisting of a multitude of overlapping lines. Sketches usually serve quickly to record ideas for later use (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sketch_%28drawing%29)
activity theory: complex, socially situated phenomena. Activity theory is aimed at understanding the mental capabilities of a single human being, however, it rejects the isolated human being as an adequate unit of analysis, focusing instead on cultural and technical mediation of human activity (excerpts from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activity_theory).
This class will be a "hands-on" exploration in sketching human activities … please visit the assignment page, bring sharp minds and dull pencils!

4/9 from Gerhard
it seems that several of you have not differentiated between "Independent Research" and "Project" in your work
today we will discuss "Projects" in Class
please post your reports about "Projects" in the Swiki
4/2 from Gerhard - plan for today
progress report about independent research –> purpose: let the other people in the course know what you have been doing (a stepping stone for the final presentation on April 23 and 25)
we have 5 teams (design, learning, collaboration (2), integration)
total time: 75 minutes –> 12 minutes per team including some questions / discussion (this will give us some time for change overs)
please note: a 2nd progress report was due on 3/21 – please post it asap!
3/10 from Gerhard –> Feedback on your Independent Research
I have provided feedback on the teams' pages - check it out
most teams can develop a better Swiki representation for their project
all projects are related to each other: I encourage all of you to check out the other teams' pages (and also learn from their respective page organization)
3/9 from Gerhard
revised/updated schedule has been posted – including time for final presentation meeting (during exam time)
study and analyze the pages for "Independent Research" and "Projects" in the Swiki
think about what YOU want to do and try to identify classmates who might collaborate with you
