Icebreakers

These get-to-know-you activities provide an opportunity to meet and greet and start to explore some examples of motivations and emotions.

Virtual
  1. Speedfriending: 3 minutes to meet, greet, and share about what you're looking forward to (or not) in Motivation and Emotion
In-person
  1. Sociometric exercise or whiteboard discussion:
    1. What job/career do you hope to be doing in 5 to 10 years' time? (example of motivations)
    2. How have you been feeling so far today? (Mood/Emotion) (examples of emotions)

Topic check-in

  1. Poll - What stage are you up to?
    1. Huh? What do I do?
    2. I created a Wikiversity user account
    3. I signed up to a book topic
    4. I have a topic and started editing
    5. I'm all over it!
  2. Key links:
    1. Topic selection guidelines
    2. List of 2024 topics
  1. Whiparound discussion based on each person's book chapter interests and progress. Ask each student to share:
    1. their name
    2. topic they've chosen (or what areas they are interested in)
  2. According to each person's stage of development, very briefly discuss and expand on the topic (or invite student to explain), suggest related resources, or enquire further etc. If students are unsure about their interests, probe about what they are curious about - or at least, are they more interested in motivation or emotion etc.?

Project tasks

Create a Wikiversity account and log in

  1. Create an account: Register a user name and select password. Edits to Wikiversity are publicly available, so choose a name that suits your privacy requirements (e.g., can be a real name, pseudonym, or student number).
    1. Start at http://en.wikiversity.org (English Wikiversity) - Create account (top-right)
    2. Or go direct to: create a Wikiversity user account
  2. Log in (top-right)

Topic selection

  1. Go to the 2024 motivation and emotion book
  2. Sign up to a topic by editing this page - put your name next to an available topic, and publish

Quick start template

  1. It is recommended that you add the quick start template to the topic page.
  2. Click "Create source" or "Edit source", paste {{subst:ME/BCS}}, then Publish.
    1. If you get a spam filter warning it is probably because you have a new account. So, publish some small edits first (e.g., on your user page). This helps the system learn to trust you, then try again - or ask someone to add the template for you.

Next steps

  1. Sign up for (or negotiate) a book chapter topic by the end of Week 02.
  2. Create a topic development chapter plan (consisting of main headings with bullet-points about key points) on Wikiversity by the end of Week 03.
