Wiki Collaboration [Group Project] Learning Activity 5-C-2 Small Group Self-Assessment [Submit Assignments]
 * 1) You will receive an invitation to join the class wiki from your instructor. Please accept the invitation and create a wikispaces account.
 * 2) Your instructor will assign you to small groups and give each group a topic. Groups and topics will be listed on the 5-C-1 page for the class wiki. A starting page will be linked from the main class wiki page.
 * 3) Subscribe to the RSS feed for changes for your group page(s) (click the **Notify Me** tab at the top of the page).
 * 4) **Use the discussion page for your group’s home page to plan and assign tasks to specific members.**
 * 5) Collaborate with your group to create a wiki about your topic.
 * 6) Divide your topic into headings and subtopics. See the Student Data Storage wiki for an example.
 * 7) Provide an overview of the topic.
 * 8) Add additional text for subtopics, including links to your sources.
 * 9) If you use any images or other media, be sure that you have permission to use them. Cite the sources for media. (To find acceptable images, check the list of [|Public Domain Images] from Wikipedia or the [|Creative Commons] images on Flickr.)
 * 10) Your group wiki should include links to at least 5 external resources, not counting any internal links.
 * 11) Your wiki should include at least one additional page that allows readers to "drill down" further into your topic. Be sure all additional pages are linked to your group's primary page and can easily be found by your instructor.
 * Use the [|Small Group Self-Assessment Rubric] in the **Course Guide** to assess your participation and contribution to //5-C-1: Wiki Collaboration//.
 * Indicate the number of points you think you earned for each category (Contribution, Attitude, Working with Others, and Time Management) along with a brief explanation. Cite specific examples as necessary.
 * Post your self-assessment to **Submit Assignments** for your facilitator to read.
