view_listOur new course structure: Step-by-step guide
The second half of our course involves two components:
- Create Module Exploration Artifacts: Create something when you do a module mini-project and upload it to our shared drive
- Create a Share-ready Final Project: Expand work on a mini-project and create your final course product
Module Explorations: Thursday 15 March - Monday 30 April
Dedicated a few hours per week to working through a single module from our module menu. Here's step-by-step process for each week:
- Browse the modules in the menu that look interesting. If you like a lot of structure, choose a ready-to-roll module. If you are the exploring type, choose an in-process module.
- Click to expand your chosen module's mini-guide and read everything carefully. Many of the module mini-guides will link you into a longer tutorial page. Others have an embedded YouTube right in the mini-guide.
- Best to review the module mini-project BEFORE digesting the whole module. Give your brain a target to shoot for.
- With your brain oriented, invest few hours to practicing the concepts in the module and creating your mini project to share. Tinker with your tools (the programs) as you go. Have fun. Experiment.
- Finalize your mini project: Create a little word processing document that tells about your work: what did you do, how can others do it, to?
- Upload and share your work using the "Work Upload Guide" section below.
- Take a break and do something completely unrelated, but perhaps still on a computer :)
