The Building Blocks of iPhone 101
What worked
• Planning
• Literature search
• Peer review
and what did not work
• Don't start developing site
till background work is
complete
• Keep an eye on the
development schedule
Discoveries Made in the Process
• Teamwork is key to the development process
• Peer review is important and can expose important issues of
a project
• Literature review is important
Expected Outcomes: iPhone 101
• Learning is based on the community of learners - buy in by
learner
• Potential to retake course to focus on other modules, or use
self learning from course to move ahead on own
iPhone Reflections:
• what worked
o Creating and following a schedule
o Splitting duties and good teamwork
o Laulima site development worked well
• different approach?
o Not really, nothing to change
o Testing on a real group of learners would be good
• suggestions
o Team work is key, not having worked as a team, things
clicked well in developing this mini-course
o Make a time-line of important dates, Brien did this early
on, worked great to keep team on track
