Infrastructure: Human resources are important for the project
that has the knowledge of creating wiki pages, providing audio and visual
resources. The management and coordination of the project will solely depend on
the human resources. The people in the management are Kim, Terry, Robi and me.
The equipments required are computer and internet.
Involvement of
Learners:
The active involvement of the learners is the key factor for
the success of the project. They can be kept engaged in learning by giving them
the opportunity to do a variety of activities. The learning will be divided
into small chunks. An activity will be given after every section. The learners
will be invited through sharing the links with social networking sites, the
farmer organizations and sharing the links with agricultural universities. The
can communicate with each other and the instructors through community portal on
the wiki. They can be asked to do a case study from the area they live and share
that with others.
Facilitation and
Support:
Wiki is an open resource and facilitator can invite the
learners through sharing the links for deep learning. A forum can be set up to
discuss the difficulties in learning and for giving and getting the feedback.
The forum will help them to get support from other learners as they can
interact with each other.
Capacity and
Capability:
In terms of capability, I have to learn the how to create
the wiki pages and learning design that should suit the learners at any level.
The capability will lead to develop capacity to apply the outcomes of the
project in future in creating online resources.
Assessment and
Evaluation:
These elements determine the fate of any project. In case of
open resources the direct and formal assessment cannot be conducted. But the
application of the learning and project can be evaluated through discussion
forum, emails and case studies. The learners can be asked to share their
learning experiences with others and get support from others.
