Jennifer’s Daily Reflection

The courses that I want to use DMP for are my CBL courses.  I can see the value, but my students already get an orientation to WordPress, to community-based learning, and to the use of web-based data analysis interfaces like Social Explorer and American FactFinder.  I wonder if, with DMP, the students will feel that there are too many orientations that they have to get through.  And if they didn’t immediately use the material, they would forget it.  So it seems that I would need to think about how to stage each part of the process so that they learn it in an “as need to know basis” and can build each part of the project in stages.
