Submission Questions...please advise?

Hello Fellow MAPP Module Ones,

I am at the point where I am going to submit my AOL Essay and am formulating my Portfolio...yet, I have a few remaining questions and am reaching out to you my colleagues for advice.

I believe I have overthought and confused myself. I will try to be as clear as possible, and would really appreciate your comments.

  1. Formatting our submissions: 
    • I note in the handbook it states to hand in the document in .doc or .docx. 
      • email supervisor for draft work to be .doc or .docx
    • However, I also have some written notes to submit the final documents to Turnitin in .pdf. to preserve formatting. 
    • Can someone please clarify for me?
  2. Where to submit exactly?:
    • On our MA Professional Practice in Dance Technique Pedagogy UniHub page I see two folders: 
      • submissions RPL November 16th, 2020: RPL overview and AOL
      • submissions December 11, 2020: Module One
    • Are we to submit our AOL Final essay (in whichever format) to this RPL November folder through Turnitin for April 19, 2021? 
    • And then the whole RPL Portfolio to our supervisor on April 19th via email in .doc or .docx, which includes the AOL essay we will have submitted to Turnitin for the same due date?
Sadly, there is no submit button under the RPL overview or AOL essay link either. Not sure what to do.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated. 

Yours with gratitude,
Sheahan

    Hello Sheahan, I am at the same point, so congratulations to all of us for making it so far :-) I had the same question as to what to submit and where. I actually understood it needs to be submitted in word format on Turnitin and the AOL file must include the RPL form too. Separately, you will email the RPL form to your supervisor on the same day. To be on the safe side, I would submit both files to my supervisor, since there is still confusion around the folders to be used on unihub system. Are you part of our whatsup group, so maybe someone else can advice too?

      Hello Paola,
      Yes, Congratulations :) What a year it has been, and we have embarked on a new venture to assist in our growth. Brave and an efficient use of covid life.
      Thank you for letting me know about the Whats App group. I did not realize that. What is it called? If you are part of the group, can you invite me? I see there is a twitter (I am not on that platform), facebook alumni, and linkedin. Thank you!

    Hello Sheahan and Paulo,

    Well done for succeeding thus far! I had all the same worries and questions with what I was submitting and where to, so glad I am not alone.

    I also didn't know there was a WhatsApp group - how can I be added to this? I think it would be a very useful resource for all of these kinds of questions.

      Hi Kimberly,
      I would also love to know about the Whats App group to keep in touch over the summer and help with questions. If you do figure out how to join, please do pass on that information. I will do the same :)
      Take good care,
      Sheahan

ZOOM - MDX account access

 Hello MDX Team, As many of you know, as I prepared my inquiry for Module 2, I was asking about setting up a ZOOM account with MDX for my interviews in Module 3. I asked in our What's App group and received some great ideas. I did follow advice and created my own account using my MDX email, however, I then realized the free personal account has its limitations. Limitations that would not work for group interviews. Now I have made a discovery I want to share in hopes of helping others find and use the MDX ZOOM account more easily.  Here is how I set up my ZOOM under the MDX licence using my MDX email. There are settings already chosen and locked by the University but there are lots you can personalize.  When logged in to your MDX student account, click on My Learning Essentials.   On the right-hand side in a column is the list of Online learning - useful resources . Yes, they are useful resources!  In that list, you will see Zoom and newrow guides . Click that....

My First Blog Post

🌎 My First Blog Post As I prepare to embark on this journey of attaining my Masters through Middlesex University, I am reminded of how little I know about the tech world.  Oh, I use tech. I don't live in the dark ages. I have a laptop, smartphone (yes, upgraded from my Nokia flip phone), and we even have a wireless home security system that talks directly to that smartphone. I also use tech in dance class. I have my set playlists, and use my iPod, or laptop for music, my phone for slow-mo videos, and have even ventured to try Spotify. I do not consider myself to be very tech-savvy. I feel like as soon as I know how to use and manage an app or device, something updates and changes! And then the pandemic. Offering us ways to grow. We pivot and shift. It has challenged us in many ways and opened a new cyber door for a lot of us to walk through - Zoom.  Zooming. Is it a verb? It does feel like that some days. Zooming between music windows, monitoring and admitting students throug...

The Questions we are exploring - Looking for Feedback

Hello Fellow MAPP-ers,  I am looking for feedback and discussion regarding my ideas, my process, to find my "Question" for Module two.  I want to do something with Dance for Life. I feel very passionate about the fact dance, and the arts, give us so many tools to use no matter where our life journey takes us. I see the education curriculum being steered away from the arts, especially here in Alberta, and feel compelled to investigate and understand the benefits of the transferable skills learned in the dance studio. To understand how our years of dancing benefit us throughout our lifetime, even after some leave it behind to pursue other interests.  There is a desire within me to explore what is learned in arts education, and perhaps share the findings to assist future generations to be able to experience the arts, specifically dance, in school. I perceive this curriculum change as limiting children's participation in the arts and perhaps limiting it to the privileged few ...
