Peer feedback (given)

I assessed learning tasks related to the online pedagogy course for another student today. He had made his PLE in kyvyt
I was introduced to kyvyt a year ago when starting my vocational pedagogy studies but ended up using another service for my digital portfolio. One reason was that I found it difficult to sign in and secondly, I found blogger easier visually and technically. My own learning curve into blogging can be seen in this very blog.

The assessment criteria is the following:

1. Does the learning environment function correctly?
2. Have you dealt with all the learning tasks?
3. Have you used links and embedded material in a versatile way?
4. Have you considered netiquette and copyright when creating your PLE?
5. Is your PLE visually effective?
6. Is your PLE interactive?
   
   
   
   
   What I like most about reading other teacher candidate's posts is that I always learn something new. It is collaborative learning. I would, however, want to add some interaction to it as well. I liked the learning views post, mostly because it was a good refreshment to learning theories and some interesting notes about special needs in an online environment. 
   
   
   It is always nice with pictures, tables, videos etc. and this blog had many tables. It is also smart to add some useful link to share with others. There was one link to Sanna Ruhalahti's presentation "käsikorjoitus verkko opetukseen" http://www.slideshare.net/SannaRuhalahti/verkkoopetuksen-ksikirjoitus?ref=
   that I found very useful. 
   
   Some visual elements did not work so well in kyvyt. E.g. the topic of the post (link) does not show fully when you open the page. This means, that when you are assessing, you have to remind yourself what you are reading again and again.
   
   
   The blog had included the areas to cover and there were many interesting ideas about my fellow student's professional and spare time activities.
   
   
   I however miss the interaction in the online pedagogy course. A great deal of learning opportunities is lost because there is no chatting going on. It is even difficult to get conversation over who is doing whose peer evaluation. 
   Course tutors: This is something to change in the future. Some synchronous part would be great. E.g. one synchronous task every month in chat
