Major changes coming for Summer 2012--Check back after June 4.
You can access your assigned group by going to the class MyGateway site: select, "Group Areas." You'll find folders for each group with a list of the students assigned to each group, and your group wiki (Wiki Help and Tips; Here's a link with detailed instructions for using the wiki editor: http://community.learningobjects.com/Groups/Documentation/Campus_Pack_4.4_User_Guide/Text_Editor and for general information: http://community.learningobjects.com/Groups/Documentation/Campus_Pack_4.4_User_Guide . You can access this link from your group's wiki by clicking on the "Help" link in the upper right-hand corner of the wiki content frame. See also, the tutorials for working in a wiki in the "Wiki Help" folder on the "Group Areas" page of the class MyGateway site.
Read the set-up and three parts of the project (you'll find links just below) to understand what you will be expected to do. Be sure to document all your discussions on your group communication pagein your group wiki (this will have to be one of the first pages you create in your wiki--see these instructions and the tutorials for working in a wiki in the "Wiki Help" folder on the "Group Areas" page of the class MyGateway site).
Project Objectives:
Be sure to complete the "Email Feedback Consent." You can find the email feedback consent "test" in the Group Areas section of MyGateway. Until you give consent, you will have to visit Prof. Keel or a TA to receive full feedback on the group project.
Hopefully, your participation and collaboration in these groups will be an important source of learning and support throughout the semester. Your group provides a forum for participation, discussion, and collaboration with other group members on class topics and the group project.

Basic tips:
To Create (or edit) a page:
Rely on reputable studies, articles, and books. Websites that meet the criteria for reputable work (or here ) can also be used.
Be sure to correctly cite all information used from research resources (in-text citations and a list of references for each page) using the ASA manuscript submission guide (local copy with web citation guidelines or a full version of the ASA Style Guide). Additional assistance with referencing online resources can be found here. Also, remember we are undertaking an academic activity, so please refrain from using opinion, unreliable or invalid resources, sensationalism, and other non-academic practices. See academic integrity statement and Turnitin information.
Contact the class TA or Mr. Keel if you have any questions.
