Major+Project+-+Review

I will attempt again to have this project come on with volume. I have used the self narrated presentation to my collegues and would like to also use it for a teaching tool within my industry. I have research and re research how to do this. There are so many complecated ways that one comes to a conclusion that it would be better to hire someone to it for you because of the complecations in this process. I am not there yet but I have invested 40 hours into this process on this single process so far.

I am frustrated but need to continue.

I have overcome the Challenge I completed my presentation.

1.Overview of Your Project (5) - Provides significant, creative and interesting overview and rationale to project; clearly identifies purpose of ICT; demonstrates strong connection to learners.


 * This project was to provide managers, supervisors, and others interested in learning about Cameco to develop a sense of diversity and Aboriginal culture in northern Saskatchewan. It was also meant as a beginning of greater development of diversity in Cameco at the mining operations located at Key Lake, McArthur River, Rabbit Lake, and Cigar Lake. Aboriginal personnel at these operations are reaching 55% of operational workforce. This process is meant to develop and initiate the understanding of diversity as will be required for continued progress in recruiting more Aboriginal content in more challenging areas such as supervisors, professionals and managers.

The second and equally important reason was to bring a balance to an internal struggle I have in having a large multinational corporation in the NAD. I was having difficulty in coming to terms with what the proper relationship was and how to balance that as a employee with that corporation. I can't feel that I am a party to continued oppression of Aboriginal people as a means to make my ends meet. This project allowed me to study the relationship and to provide energy to the equalization of the population in northern Saskatchewan. If only for the brief time I had to make influential information available to people.**

2. Description of Learning Outcomes (5) - Provides a well-articulated description of participant learning outcomes; indicates how project content relates clearly to learning outcomes I **have conducted this presentations to 5 separate groups with 4 being internal to Cameco and one being external to Cameco. I received very good responses from the participants and was encouraged by their comments. I have had the opportunity to present this to Vice presidents in the company and again received positive feedback.

There were requests form other to view the presentation but this is only a small portion of my employment and needed to find a way to engage more people if necessary. After a conversation with Marnie my project became creating an online version of the presentation.

This presentation gives an introduction and a map to continued growth to those interested. In the concluding remarks of the presentation I placed some well thought out suggestions for continued development of diversity training for our operations.**

3.Initial Implementation Feedback & Reflections (5) - Provides evidence of initial implementation such as feedback from colleagues or learners; shows how feedback from learners has been used to plan for future implementation; reflection on feedback illustrates depth of thinking and insight. Feedback can be gathered in audio, text or other media.


 * I am continually collecting feedback from participants and am now expecting feedback from my Masters colleagues to also incorporate into the final online presentation, which will not be complete until after this class. After this I will work with Cameco personnel to see what medium we will use to make this available to more participants within Cameco as well.**

4.Organization (5) - Information is highly organized; navigation is clear to diverse learners
 * My thoughts on this was built into the sections of the presentation, I even made attempts to make it relevant to people that were not familiar with Cameco.**

5. Effective Use of ICT to Support Diverse Learners (10) - Information clearly relates to purpose of learning; 3 or 4 unique, creative supporting details and/or examples are used which add interest to reader (while this was the original criteria I realize that each project is unique and this criteria does not necessarily apply to all kinds of projects. My main interest is, have you been able to provide more than one way for your learners to interact with ideas and information through more than one form of media?) This part was more for the pictures which I have collected over years from both a professional perspective and a personal perspective. This project is fairly specific but I tried to humanize diversity to creating elements of cross culture in some of the activities portrayed in the choice of photos. Again I must reiterate that this is a beginning of the journey.

6. Spelling, Grammar & Citations (5) - There are almost no grammatical, spelling or punctuation errors; All sources, media, etc. are accurately documented; Variety of resources/sources used.


 * I used my colleagues and my staff to the extent that I could but I will continue to develop this as I am not yet comfortable to make it active and online until I have a good cross section of checkers including this class.**

7.Critical Friend Feedback (5) - Strong evidence of learning and growing from critical friend feedback.
 * I used feedback I collected form my classmates throughout the program for this project and even though the assignment shows only one aspect of it, the overall project was always part of the theme. I have great respect for my classmates and what their comments carefully and I create my project and this assignment. I feel good about the effort I placed in this project and I am balanced about quality in that I am at the end of the road and it must be good enough at this junction. It will improve as I incorporate more feedback and as I prepare to take this online within Cameco.**
