Week 5 Reflection

In addition to the 15/5s, be sure your individual site includes your name, your email, and a link to the project Web site. When your 15/5 is complete, be sure to post a link in our G+ community so we know it's updated.

This week our team had a focus group.  We met as a team to decide what we would discuss.  We determined which topics would be covered in our seven module course. This is important because the subject matter experts gave input about the topics that will be covered. Since the SME were from different colleges, we were able to get a range of input so that I course would better suit each school.

I have never been a part of a focus group, and I didn’t quit know what to expect.  The SME gave good ideas. Some of the SME were graduate students so we were able to get things added that they said would have been helpful to them when they first started.

We are moving forward and setting deadlines for having the course developed. We want to leave plenty of time to complete our formal assessment. The focus group went well.  I was most proud of the notes that we took.  We also got helpful links from one of the GTAs.

Now I will type the notes and present them at our next team meeting on Monday.  This will help us to refine our outline and assign modules to develop.
