Update on actions taken

32. Having finished my narrative document draft. I have sent it to other participants for review.

Since I got so into the topic and was so motivated, I probably spend too many hours and wrote too many pages.

Once I converted it in to APA style (double-spaced and thus making it longer) and added the cover page, the appendixes and the reference page the total number of pages is 12.

Well. I have to say this: I enjoyed doing it and I learnt loads. I think it has been a good investment of my time considering my wishes to have a high grade.

I plan to have finished the whole practicum next week (I now need to dedicate more time to the other course)

31- Brainstorming ideas for my narrative document and presentations and adding very relevant and interesting content:

The lack of feedback from collaborators and the technical problems experienced during the practicum has limited my results. I plan to use this limitations in my benefit, converting their negative effect in positive.  Often we need a necessity to have ideas, and translating problems into ideas is my speciality.

As a result my practicum will now include the following two areas:

--- Collaborating online: what motivates people to collaborate and how can a framework for collaboration be set up so that there effort is minimised and benefits are enhanced.

--- Technical problems during a project: how to minimise their effect by providing a simple guide to solve the problem. How to create effective guides that actually save users time, including time to read the guides (or watch them in case of video-guides).

28- Obtaining more feedback from collaborators. This has proven to be quite a difficult task as most collaborators are quite busy.
