Our group has posted the rough draft of our assessment tools as we have selected our initial deadline as of today, October 13th. This will allow us to collaborate on editing, formatting, and working to finalize our document for presentation to the class for our 'toolbox' of the selected tools we researched. More to follow as the week progresses this week . . . . . . . . . . . . Jeanne
. . . . . . . . . . and the beat goes on as we moved into week four of the course . . . . thanks to Nancy for combining all of our documents into one working document for editing. Also thanks to Amy and Craig for their expertise and ideas with making a strong, practical and eye appealing document that is an excellent resource for learning about assessment tools and a document that we can add to' with additional tools. We have been offering suggestions as we move along with making revisions and 'tweaking up' our content and formatting the final project. . . . . . . . and success as a team as we have posted our document today on Thursday. I must say it is looking professional and easy to navigate through :-)
Things we learned:
1. checking the discussion board or email daily helps with keeping the project moving forward
2. using .rtf which is rich text format helps for all participants to be able to open documents
3. setting deadlines to critical to allowing input from all participants
4. having a common goal sets the tone for the project
5. when editing for others highlight with color so the changes can easily be seen for review
5. when combining individual documents, need to adjust for differences in writing styles
6. focus on each participant's strength as a new learning opportunity for yourself

Jeanne: I am glad you shared the “things we learned” about the mid-term. I am going to keep these strategies handy for future collaborative projects.
Using .rtf, goal setting, and especially your comment about adjusting for differences in writing styles are great tips!
Thanks Paula, it is always interesting to see how the dynamics unfold with different types of people and learners within the group . . . . I've been on many collge and hospital committees and this holds true in the professional work setting as well. Jeanne
