During my academic career, I've created lab procedure documents, research methodology guides, and tutorial materials for peer study groups. These experiences taught me the importance of logical flow and anticipating user questions before they arise. The assignment helped me apply these skills in a more structured way.

Assignment 2 Topic Brainstorming

I've added three potential topics to the Padlet board:

How to optimize a professional LinkedIn profile for job searching

Creating an effective data visualization dashboard using free tools

Setting up a personal budget tracking system for students

Medium Preferences for Assignment 2

I'm excited about the flexibility to choose different mediums for this assignment. I'd like to explore creating either an interactive website or a video tutorial. Websites allow for nonlinear exploration of content which can be valuable for instructional material, while videos can demonstrate processes more clearly than text alone.

I do have some concerns about video production - specifically about audio quality and editing software. I have limited experience with video editing tools, so if I choose this medium, I'll need to allocate extra time to learn the necessary skills. I'm wondering if there are any recommended resources or simple editing tools you might suggest.

Questions/Concerns

For Assignment 2, I'm curious about the expected depth versus breadth of the instructional content. Should we aim for comprehensive coverage of a narrower topic, or provide a broader overview with less detail? Also, regarding research requirements, how many sources would be appropriate to incorporate for this assignment?
