A NOTE ON "PUBLISHING"
5
The maximum length of these publications is 600 words or 6 minutes long. The PLATFORM you choose for publishing is up to you -- whether it's a post on the course blog, an essay you submit electronically or on paper, a post on the D2L discussion board. Think critically and creatively about which platform is most suitable for your purposes. Think also about the media that will meet those purposes. If it's a vlog or audio podcast or live performance in class or in tutorial, then opt for that. The more appropriate your choice of platform (for your purposes), the more points you earn.
