WHAT TO DO:
Project Blog and Weekly Progress Reporting
Set up and develop your Project Blog as required for this task and later assessment task. The blog will store entries made by you throughout the subject to document the project stages and milestones, seminar notes and other important notes. Your local lecturer may advise on a suitable alternative process if studying on-campus.
You can use CSU's Thinkspace site at http://thinkspace.csu.edu.au/ (use your CSU Login ID) or a blog site of your own choice. CSU Thinkspace is recommended or else Wordpress, Google's Blogger (https://www.blogger.com/home) are common blogging systems, but you may have your own favourite site to use.
Choose and develop a limited blogger profile and enter a suitable TITLE for your blog (e.g. Joe’s Wireless Technology Project) – not your full name. For WEB ADDRESS - use your student number as your account name (URL) or other unique identifier.
Make a first post - a short introduction about you and the project - remember to save, then Publish the blog entry. Check with a friend or family member to ensure that he/she can see your first posting. This is also to check you have the right URL to include in this proposal and plan for your project.
Post a copy of the BLOG address to to the DISCUSSION FORUM to share with others and to demonstrate that you are underway in the subject.
For each week from Week 2 to Week 12 inclusive, add a blog post for each Weekly Progress Report as described below.
