• Begin communicating on the group communication page--this will be the first page the group needs to create.
  • To create this page, someone will need to select, "Add New Page" from the right-hand column in the wiki. Name the page, "Group # communication page." Now, click save and exit. You can add links to this communication page from all other pages in your wiki. Members should post updates and leave comments on this page.
• You are expected to check the group communication page and contribute ideas, provide information, and ask questions at least twice a week throughout the semester. All group related interactions must be documented on the group communication page in order for credit to be assigned.
  • Find your group and open the group pages.
  • Click on your group communication page--and begin communicating with the other members of your group. You can use any of a variety of tools to discuss and share information, but you need to document your communication in your group communication page and wiki.
  • Set up specific meeting dates for work throughout the semester--either face-to-face or online (all communications must be documented on the group communication page). Work together as a group! Leave comments on your group members' page to provide help and assistance and point out minor edits you've done for them, etc.
• Group member responsibilities:
  1. Collaborate on the overall group contribution throughout the group process.
  2. Actively communicate with other group members on a weekly basis via differing modes of communication (e.g., student e-mail, wiki comments).
  3. Submit individual and group work in a timely manner to fellow group members and in accord with course requirements.
  4. Complete and submit all parts of the group project.
  5. Utilize a variety of wiki features throughout varying stages of the group project (see course TAs for assistance using wiki).
  6. Maintain an atmosphere of civility and maturity throughout group member dialogue.
  7. Include your name and the class you are taking within your message when you contact the instructor or TAs via e-mail or by phone.
  8. Adhere to all other expectations and requirements outlined in the course syllabus and group project page.
  9. Interaction and collaboration (we'll use wiki stats, comments you leave on other's pages, and what you document on your "group communication page" to assess your collaboration).

Create Group Wiki Home Page: Should include a group name, list of individual names hyperlinked to their personal pages, list of group assignments for the semester hyperlinked to pages set up for each part of part of the assignment, and a list of who's going to do what for which assignment (if you choose to complete the project individually, you'll need to make links to pages each individual or team will use to present their work).  Leave comments on your group members' page to provide help and assistance and point out minor edits you've done for them, etc.

Create Personal Wiki Page- providing a bit of information about yourselves and other interests you might have.  Experiment with the different features of the wiki--add external links, internal links (link back to your "home page") add an image or two--especially an picture of yourself. Update this page throughout the semester--adding links to your individual contributions to the project.  Make sure to link all individual work here throughout the semester.  This is where the grader goes to access your part of the assignment.  Credit will not be given for individual work if it is not linked on the personal wiki page. For help creating a personal wiki page, see Prof. Keel's Panopto tutorial, "Working in a Wiki" in the Wiki Help folder of the class MyGateway site--Group Areas page. Your personal page must be completed 48 hours before the due date for the setup, to allow time for the group to make final changes, and to develop the rest of the group wiki. Leave comments on your group members' page to provide help and assistance and point out minor edits you've done for them, etc.

• Be sure to complete the "E-mail Feedback Consent." You can find the e-mail 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.
• All individual assignments must be completed two days before the due date for this part, to allow time for the group to make final changes, and to allow time to complete the synthesis report.
