October 24, HW#6, Primary, secondary, and tertiary readers

My document is going to deal with the idea of implementing "social bookmarking" in the classroom. These are who I think my readers would be:

Primary

Class instructors
The instructors will want to know how easy it is to setup and maintain something like this. They will also want to know what type of benefits it will provide to ensure that it's worthwhile to add to this curriculum. The document should provide real world examples and proven results.

Students
Students are going to be looking to see how much of a pain in the butt it will be to have bookmark stuff for their class. The document should stress ease of use.

Secondary

Department review boards
I think that this group would be most interested in how this type of technology could be implemented in classes throughout an entire department.

Tertiary

Curriculum designers
These people will want to know the potential value this would add to an existing curriculum. The document should show how this technology will benefit a particular type of coursework.

  • Regarding your primary readers. I think that because you are writing a proposal to implement this technology, the students may be considered as a secondary reader. I could be wrong though.

  • Hi Josh,
    I am finding it interesting how students may be considered to be primary, secondary and even tertiary for this assignment across the class blog responses. I think in mine they are considered tertiary, because they are the last ones who will be reading it.
