Objectives
For students to gain a thorough understanding of the value of reflection and evaluation for the successful completion of a team focused project.

Activity
Record progress of a project via a weblog - therefore building a portfolio for reflection and evaluation. This document will be a detailed account of the task and is required to contain reflection of practice (what did or didn't work and why). This activity is worth 20% of your total mark.

To support this practice your lecturer will provide feedback to each of your posts and keep their own "Reflective Practice Journal" in the form of a blog on the front page of the Wiki.

Task
Create a new team blog and record the following:


 * team contract, goals and timeline with individual tasks
 * team members attendance at meetings/class sessions
 * discussion and evidence of collaboration rather than just cooperation at team and committee meetings
 * research progress
 * action points from meetings
 * feedback from class sessions
 * project planning progression - especially adherence to timeline for project
 * questions or queries for tutor feedback

Additionally - each participant is required to post a summary of the project and team progress to date and future action points (with who is responsible)onto the blog, from each meeting. These posts should provide an element of reflection. Read the supporting resources below to assist with this.
