The title of U8 is, Identifying Communities of Practice…so far, you have been considering this through looking back at your U7 projects. Now, as we approach the end of the unit, it is time to use everything you have done to look forward into stage three.
Your U8 text includes up to four platform project reflective statements and a thematic introduction. Think of the thematic, described in relation to the ideas and personalities that have inspired you, as the launch pad of your learning journey…you’ve begun the journey and can now plot-a-course into stage three through the work that you’ve done, and the ideas and techniques you want to explore further.
The DMP and the contextual report are an opportunity for you to capture the energy and excitement of your journey, mid-flight. Try and hold onto the sense of adventure and discovery in your learning journey. And remember, the assessment is a celebration of what you have achieved, and a stepping-stone to stage three.
Face forward, not backward.
