EVALUATION OF ACTIVITY| Evaluation of the Learning Objectives |
| The participants were pleased with the teaching and the subject. |
| Evaluation of the activity |
| The sessions went well. We were able to do what we set out to do, and the participants found the subject interesting |
| Evaluation of what was learned by the participants |
| They all made a Facebook profile. After the session they were all aware of the concept of an online community as Facebook, MySpace and Youtube. |
| Evaluation of what staff have learned |
| Making of profiles were slower than expected, because the participants did not have a webmail - necessary for activating the profiles in the different communities. |
| Keywords |
| Facebook;communities;Youtube |
| ANALYSIS OF EVALUATION |
| What would you change to improve activity? |
| Make sure the participants have a webmail account, before the session |
| What particular circumstance could affect a change in the activity? |
| A little more time would be better, the user should have more time with hands-on and individual help |
| Other possible Activities |
| A session dedicated to a single community, e.g. YouTube would work fine |
| Best practice |
| Prepare for questions about safety. And technical questions of all kinds. Some unexpected, so you shall be able to improvise a little |
| Transferability: |
| We actuallly started by only telling and demonstrating the functions of communities. Later we added hands-on and help in creating their own accounts. |
