You create a blog each week where you provide evidence that you have engaged in this way with the prescribed e-learning activity. In the blog, you mention any extra material relevant to the activity that you have researched on the net. These blogs are assessed in the following way: 1. Blogs are spot checked by your lecturer. 2. A record is kept each week of whether you created a blog or not (1 or 0) 3. By the end of Week 6, students choose their best two blogs and submit them as an assignment (due Friday Week 6). 4.
