Hi, the green team still has some questions about the mod 4 assignment. Yes, we have read everything that we can find about this but still have concerns since we want to do this right. So, can I explain how we think and will you please correct me if I'm wrong? We think that you want us to use all the topics in the mods. that you have already posted such as "student attributes, history of DE, Internet", etc. Is this true or can we combine some of the topics since a lot of the DE ones in the first section seem to go together? ** DrE: You do not have to include each topic singly, but can combine and absorb various topics within others. That is fine. You may even come up with your own list of headings that are far more descriptive and useful. **  Second, when you say list do we post our ideas in bullets under the each section? What do you mean three sections? Is this 3 parts completely finished and written up like our final project will be? Like for example, we have a least 6 sub sections written up like "Global delivery models", "What is distance education?", etc. Do we submit these sections as part of the three sections to be submitted? Do we also add bullets to this under the other parts? Or what? Please help us on this so that we do this right. ** DrE: For the Mod 4 submission, the lists of topics are fine. The lists will give me an idea of where you are going with the various main headings for the final paper. For the final project, you will want to elaborate on most of these lists that you include in the draft version, unless the list is truly just a list, like a list of materials you may need for a lesson or DE classroom. ** ** The only parts that should be 'written up' in the draft form (mod4 submission), are the basic topic areas, like a short history of DE for example. Sections like that can be done now, using resources that you have found in your course materials and online. Remember, to keep the focus of the project on what works in DE for K-12. Maintain a focus on your audience. Distraction is easy and you don't want a document to put everyone to sleep. YOu don't need to rewrite the book on DE, but rather provide some direction for programming that works or might work in your school(s). **  Thanks, Tonya
