Feedback of AR Website:

You had a very interesting topic for your action research project. Initially I thought all our AR projects had to deal with use of technology and Web 2.0 applications. However, your AR allowed for opportunities where technology was used as a data collecting source. In addition, the site is organized in a very clear fashion. There is a good amount of video footage documenting the process and documenting target feedback. These videos are an additional source of data collection and they provide relevant details of the participants that speak to the purpose of the action research. A very interesting use of technology was in the data diaries. This was a very informative tool for viewers of your Website.

I have a question regarding your cycle III - when do you intend on launching that and how will it be different from Cycle I or Cycle II?

Another question, how would you consider integrating technology as a tool for your participants to use during cycle 3? Or would you? If not what is your rationale for this?

Lastly, just make sure before presentation day you have your summary completed. It is currently missing.

Let me know if there is any additional feedback or support you would like from me.

Best,

Jessica Cruz

Wk 4 Publishing Leadership Project Part 2 of 2


I have decided to publish my AR project with the Journal of Educational Multimedia and Hypermedia (JEMH). JEMH is designed to provide a multi-disciplinary forum to present and discuss research, development and applications of multimedia and hypermedia in education. The main goal of the Journal is to contribute to the advancement of the theory and practice of learning and teaching using powerful and promising technological tools that allow the integration of images, sound, text, and data.
