Activity 2.1 Similarity Safari (Mon-Tue)

Participating in this fun activity will give you an opportunity to get to know others on the course and to start building a community. Start by getting to know a few people with whom you have something in common.

Purpose: Using personal communication in building a learning community

Task:

1. Check the results for Part 1 and Part 2 of the ‘Who are we?’ survey in the library.
2. Go on a 'Similarity Safari' and identify how much these parts of the survey show about what you have in common with your fellow participants.
3. Engage with one or two participants with whom you feel you have a lot in common using the private messages tool. Try to get to know the person a bit better. Take care to check for messages from other participants and to reply to these.
4. Then join the 'Similarity Safari' topic in the Week Two forum where we can talk about this experience of making contact with individuals within the group. Were you able to identify participants with whom you have something in common? How was the communication similar to or different from getting to know people in a face-to-face workshop?

Tools: Discussion forums and private messages

When: Week 2, Monday – Tuesday
