Arriving at the harbour...

As we enter the harbour after our journey through this module, there are a few things that I'd like you to keep in mind. As with any trip, when you will have pictures and memories of the journey. So let's make sure you have packed in your memory card before you disembark... In writing up your assignment, have you identified a need? If yes, then have you checked to see if this is your perception or a real need for staff or students in your environment. Be sure to include this in your writing. Using your blog and ideas you've developed, add (or pack in) all the relevant literature to support your ideas. Use these to start building the argument for why your chosen design and development plan was needed. Then finally, think about how you will check or evaluate the process (view and edit your pictures, if you will). Now, in order to disembark, we need to ensure that you have cleared all the cupboards and drawers in your cabin. This means, have you taken a look back at your curriculum analysis knowledge, your assessment knowledge or theories of learning? Have you taken note of how much you have learned, not just for this module, but throughout your MPhil journey and used this in writing up your assignment? Remember, you may not think of it now, but somewhere tucked away in the back of your mind (drawer) you have gained knowledge and skills in a variety of HSE areas....use these! I trust that you have all had a great journey and look forward to seeing the "album" (assignment) on 4 November.
