Info about Assignment 3

The intent of this task to have you engage with current research literature in the area of educational technology. If you notice, you are asked to find 10 articles in a chosen topic area. You will then choose 4 of those articles to annotate. The four points you are being asked to address in the annotations are in the task description.

You should choose a topic you are interested in, it will make the task much easier. I would expect the 10 articles you are using to be referenced at some point in your 1000 rational. You can use the articles we have used in this course. If you choose to use any of these articles in the annotated list I will expect the summaries for these articles to be very in-depth, as we have already used them in class.

The unit of study states that Assignment 3 will be presented as a website. I will not require you to present your final product as a website. You can use the format of your choice (e.g. word document). I have no problem with the assignment being presented as a website, but I do feel it would induce a bit of overload for those not used to creating websites.
