A:
The chapter lacks supports of literature, learning theories, theoretical framework etc.
The content is not comprehensive because the students did not have good understanding on the chapter topics.
Lack of ONLE/PLE instructional strategies and design.
Q: Can we reference previous students' chapters?
A: Yes, you may. be sure to provide clear citations and references.
Q: Can we follow previous students' format to develop and to present our content?
A: Probably not, because the book editors have specific format for us to follow and to develop our chapters. Be sure to keep close communication with the book editors.
Q: Can we remix and/or aggregate online contents?
A: Yes, you may. Be sure to provide appropriate references. Additionally, be sure to balance the content you create and the remixed/aggregated content. Certainly, we don't want everything is remixed or aggregated.

A: Yes, in fact, it is highly encouraged to integrate content rich and media rich contents to support their development.
Q: How to make my chapter content more interactive?
A: To enhance network interaction, what we need to do is to apply ONLE/PLE instructional strategies. In assignment 2, we have good understanding on various ONLE/PLE instructional strategies. We can apply whatever you think are effective to your design.
For example, we can integrate UGC to make the instructions more interactive, like what we are doing for the book chapter which integrates UGC, and community-community interaction etc.
Q: How can we use Wordle Art to support our chapter creation and development?
A: We need to copy and paste the entire chapter into Wordle Art so we can examine how the chapter goes. Are the key points clear? Word choices? Different themes in the chapter are balanced well. Wordle would be able to help us in examining these issues.
