Digital Analysis

A new twist on the Reading Analysis. This activity has you, the learner, summarizing, synthesizing and/or analyzing readings and media that are part of the core course content, and gives you the opportunity to apply your understanding of the material in a real way. Traditionally these written analyses would be submitted to the instructor as a written report, but today there are an unlimited number of online tools to help better present the breadth of understanding through visual media. When the products from this activity are published openly they also contribute to the available resources within the course discipline. Here, then, are just a few options to get you started using online media tools to develop your responses to readings and media within your course material. See your Course Syllabus or contact your instructor for further instructions and guidelines.
