Peer Assessment for 1b
I have just checked my peer assessment for Assignment 1b via LMS. I have to say that I am extremely happy with my review. I think my assessor was fair and gave me some really great feedback and things I never thought about. Natasha (who was my reviewer) seemed to really enjoy my clear instructions and even said I had "great descriptors for YouTube". That was my main concern when creating and writing my instructions for another person. I tried to put myself in their shoes and assumed they knew nothing. I just didn't want to seem like I was rambling and going into really basic detail. Constructively Natasha gave me a few things to think about. She advised me that I had hyperlinked a little too much as I had hyperlinked nearly every time I used the word YouTube. She said it was a little distracting and I should think about only hyperlinking the first time I use the resource as a word. I have since gone through my social learning page and deleted some of the YouTube hyperlinks. She also advised me to explain a little further about what a YouTube Channel is and what uses it has. I have briefly gone in and edited this also as I completely agree this information was missing. I do query the other half of her feedback though. Natasha has said that from the signing up to YouTube instruction she did not get the same notification as I had advised on my instructions. I will need to send her an email and get her to clarify this as I am unsure what she meant. I have also got one of my peers within my tutorial to follow my instructions and see if she had trouble which she didn't so I definitely need to clarify this with Natasha. I also plan to send the link to my website to Leah from my tutorial class to get her feedback as well. Hopefully this can all be cleared up.
As for my blog review she really enjoyed it but requested to see more 'visual appealing' components for example different colours and perhaps pictures and photos. I think that is a great idea as too much written text can get a little boring.
