CMOD6001 Group Blogs
Each groups is going to start a group blog.
To do this
1. One member of the groups starts second blog. Nothin' too fancy for the name.
2 In Settings > Permissions add authors
Each group should use its group blog to sell itself to prospective team members. You might want to include links back to the individual groups members' blogs. Since some Metropolia students will be influenced by the availability of meeting times, you could list possible meeting times or even provide a link to a google calendar of your timetable.
Each student should include a link to the group blog by
1. going to Design
2. Add a gadget
3. add a Quick Links gadget
4. Put a link to the group blog
Your prospective group members from Metropolia and IUT Lannion will probably use the blogs to find the groups they want to join.
France is 1 hour ahead of Ireland. Finland is 2 hours ahead of Ireland. So when it's 9 in Cork, it's 10 in Lannion, and it's 11 in Helsinki.
If you plan to use google calendar to organize meetings, you may need to enable the time zone support to that an invitation to a meeting at 9 in Cork is received in Helsinki as an invitation to a meeting at 11.

CMOD6001 Groups
Group List
I have assigned students to groups. Where students are in an incompatible group from a time table perspective, I will, of course, move them. However, in general, students are stuck with whoever they were assigned. Students who are groupless should find a group that is prepared to take them. Groups should think carefully about who they allow to join. Groups that already have 5 members may not take on any more.
We will have to formalize the procedures for removing students from groups if they are not pulling their weight. But in general this will be possible. Students who have been removed from a group may join another group that will have them, or may be required to work alone.
Each group will be joined an additional student from IUT Lannion or Metropolia Helsinki. (More about this later)
IUT students are restricted to joining groups G H I J K Q R S T U V

SOFT7001 Class 03
This class was in PF54. There was no projector, no computer, and not that many power points either.
Students that had laptops hared with those that didn't and go to work on the different combinator selectors (Secion 8 p32 of the handout). I got students started but I left at 1530 because I was no longer to prepared to shout over workers outside cutting stone.
I hope we will move the class from this room soon.

CMOD6001 DNET/DCOM
We looked at some module descriptors to understand what there terms mean. And I discussed what would be expected for this module.
I explained RPL and how it works
Someone brought a cup of coffee to class but I left it go. However he didn't even bother to put it in the bin when he was finished. No food and drinks are allowed in class, except for bottled water.
Attendance was only about 50%. That's discouraging for week 2

SOFT7001 Class 01
We looked at the module descriptor and I explained what this module was and wasn't. Since a number of students are taking this an an elective I explained what the pre-requisites were.
I asked students to construct a simple web page with some tags and to change the color of the text using a linked style sheet. The students present were able to do that, so I figure they know enough CSS to proceed with this module.
I gave out a handout. I had enough for all but one student. It was a copy of (most of) http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-selectors/
Students with laptops should being them to the class in PF54. There is no prospect of doing anything productive there otherwise. I have requested a room change.
DWEB2 students are automatically registered for this module. Other students need to register. The CRN for this module is 22517. I would like these students to also e-mail their names to me.

RPL for Languages
When I spoke about RPL I said that student who just came from the leaving cert probably didn't have any experience that they could use for recognition for prior learning. However students who speak a language other than English many be able to apply for PRL for a module in that language.
You can look for language modules in the modules database at modules.cit.ie
There are modules for Irish, French, German, & Spanish.

CMOD6001 laptops in project groups
I will be assigning students to project groups soon. I have noticed in that past that groups often like to work around a laptop. If you have a laptop are are likely to bring it to CIT please e-mail me and let me know. Just send an e-mail with laptop in the subject line. I will endeavor to put at least one laptop owner in each group.
