GR6:IdeasforRePurposingAssignments1&2

TakingDocs&EmphasizingtheVisual

Directions:
As we move into the finalizing the course eportfolio, I want us to revisit this idea of
repurposing Assignments One & Two. The second revised versions of both assignments as
such are meant to be read in hard copy form and arent necessarily best suited to the online
course portfolio. With this in mind, you will work together in groups to come up with a list of
concrete ways to: repurpose the assignments, 2. reiterate what MUST be included in the
assignmentsand3.explainwhatisbeingvaluedbydoingthiswork.

Be sure to list your group members names next to your contributions. Not listing your name

moreorganized
