Open Access to my TMAs (so far)
Essays related to my OU courses

Puzzled Man Scratches his head

It seems to me (and Stephen Jenner in some tweet exchanges we've had so far) that if we are to take this Web 2.0 and 'Education 2.0' issue to the next level, we should really be providing at lot more transparency in our own work, particularly in the formal submissions that we make. 

So here's my first step. I'm making my two TMA's available for download from H800 essays that are inspired from my TMA's on H800 available. I thought I'd go the whole hog and make my TMAs and ECA inspired from H805 also available. These are the original submitted different from the ones that I submitted versions so there's no commentary on them from my respective tutors - hey I have some pride :-)

So most especially for my fellow H800-ers it might be of some use, even if it's just some light comedy in how not to write an TMA essay. 

Stage 2 of this would be to actually make draft versions of our current TMA04 and ECA available for peer commentary in an open format. More on this later.

Update 31st July 09: Fellow H800-er Judith has been kind enough to point out that the OU regulations from the Assessment Handbook on taught higher degrees is not allowed. So clearly if OU is to embrace this we'd have to help them to change the regulations.
