One of the key issues we are debating as we head for start-up in the affordances for learning project is whether we start by asking students to help us fill in the details on a people/media matrix, to ‘track’ what they actually do (and then write it up as a narrative), or whether we first ask them to write (or record, verbally) their narrative, and then ‘track’ that across a matrix. My own thoughts at the moment are that precisely the ‘emergence’ will work best if we start by getting people to tell each other their story, then write it down, then transfer to the matrix (rather than the other way round).
