Dear\u00a0OUASSA students<\/p>\n
Knowledge Forum:<\/span>\u00a0 We have just completed another round of statistics analysis based on the work you are doing in Knowledge Forum.\u00a0The good news is that some of you are making a genuine effort to involve yourselves in the on-line discussions either by providing interesting notes, building-on and\/or annotating the notes of others. However, there are quite a few of you\u00a0 who are not meeting\u00a0 the commitment of just 1 post per week<\/span>. If you are having technical difficulties getting into Knowledge Forum\u00a0 you need to let us know right away<\/span> so we can try fix it from this end.<\/p>\n There are a number of different views that you can be contributing.\u00a0 Primarily the focus for you should be on building up project related discussions based in your Project A groups<\/strong> (Marine Science, Zoology, Physics and Maths).<\/p>\n Towards the end of May we will be asking each of you to synthesise\u00a0 your Project A discussions in a Synthesis Post<\/strong>. In this post you will identify the knowledge built for you from the discussion.\u00a0\u00a0 So you have approximately 4 weeks to get yourselves involved!\u00a0 We will provide the instructions for this task soon.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget, there are also views on the main curriculum areas (biology, Chemistry and Physics) where you can find Achievement Objectives, ask questions, request help etc and we will gladly support you.\u00a0 The introductory exercise views on three world problems are still up and running and actively being contributed to be some of you. And there are two more recent views on Knowledge Building and Knowledge Forum Support. You are free to contribute to any or all of these views.<\/p>\n Please remember that the expectation we have of you is one contribution per week! That equates to about 20-30mins input.<\/strong><\/p>\n http:\/\/knowledgeforum1.otago.ac.nz\/login<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n OUASSA\u00a0Resource Site:<\/span>\u00a0 This is a dynamic site that offers useful resources and links to all things Science related.\u00a0 We recently had some pleasing feedback stating how great the site has been for a Year 13 student and how it will be his go-to site for Year 13 curriculum support. It is hoped that you are\u00a0utilising this resource also.
