I receive a
great deal of unsolicited, positive feedback from this assignment. Students
enjoy having something tangible to take with them once they leave the course.
Also, the assignment gives them the opportunity to be creative while learning
important lessons about self-presentation in online communication contexts.
From a teacher perspective, it is a fun assignment to grade. I learn a lot
about students’ interests, hobbies, and skills from their websites, which I can
incorporate into my lectures/discussions throughout the semester.
