You are required to contribute and collaboratively create a database of Aviation Industry. With this type of collaborative database, you are much more likely to remember the key concepts and information you learn each week.
Aim: To develop understanding of key concepts using collaborative skills and communication skills
Rationale: Engaging in the process of learning, debating, and refining a database can go a long way toward helping you to begin using these new concepts and develop deeper understanding of operations, regulations, management, systems of Aviation Industry.
What file type can you submit?:
- You are free to choose a file type. You can upload a file (word, pdf), video (you might like to record your thoughts using your mobile phone or camera), URL (external link - from Internet), online text etc.
- You can comment on each other's entry, provide constructive feedback and rate it. This is a collaborative exercise.
What you are required to do?
- Each Week, we ask you to contribute two new items/concepts to the database (two concepts, a definition for each and images to support if available).
- You will need to select one or two key concepts/information/questions you learnt each week and present in the form of this database.
- You might like to just pick two questions asked in your lecture slides each week, answer the questions and post in this database in any file type e.g. text, short video consisting the questions and answers, word file, image and description etc.
- You can also comment (politely) on database item/s submitted by your peers.
- We strongly advise you to keep adding at least 2 new item each week, by the end of the study period you will have created a collaborative database of Aviation industry.
- Once you have added your entries, have a look at other students' entries and comment on them (comment on at least 1). Always provide positive and constructive feedback.
- We have added a few entries to get you started.
If you have never used a database before, here is a link to a help resource to get you started using a database.
