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 workedo Creating and following a scheduleo  Splitting duties and good teamworko Laulima site development worked well 

•  different approach?o Not really, nothing to changeo 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-courseo Make a time-line of important dates, Brien did this early

on, worked great to keep team on track
