Your
response to this activity will depend on the learning goals
you hoped to achieve by using CMC.
For
example, you might have set the learning aim of helping
learners achieve a more practical understanding and application
of the material they have learned. You planned to use CMC
to achieve this learning aim by using online threaded discussion
to encourage your learners to share their own experiences
and thus root their learning more firmly in the real world.
If learners contributed to the discussion and then used
the discussion to give their reports a more practical slant
you could argue that this use of CMC had helped your learners
achieve their learning goals.
The
evidence that is appropriate to this activity will vary
greatly among candidates for this Unit. Discuss with your
facilitator the evidence that might be applicable in your
circumstances.
