PEER REVIEW TEAM B Peer Review Team B This is the first time a Wiki was developed by Team B members. I was expecting to see the Wiki pages in the wiki format as opposed to a word document. I think that would have been

much better and more relatable to the assignment, however the content is relevant. The summary of text and graphics probably should have mentioned the five different kinds of content such as facts (unique information), concepts (symbols), process (how something works), procedure (series of steps), principle (guidelines) then collaborate on each. According to Clark & Meyer (2008), a knowledge construction theory in which learning is seen as a process of sense-making and teaching is seen as an attempt to foster appropriate cognitive processing in the learner. This component benefits the learner by giving examples of what to include in each category when using text and graphics. A combination of text and graphics would have been useful in their wiki because there is consistent evidence that people learn more deeply from words and pictures than words alone (Clark & Meyer, 2008). The basis of e-Learning is to refer to any presentation that contains both words and graphics (Clark & Meyer, 2008). The author appreciates how in Part I definitions were separated by chapters. This is helpful because the terms are categorized in the memory of the reader to reference at a later time. Furthermore, principles that do and do not promote learning were thorough, informative and in line with the principles as stated in the chapter. Part II of Team Bs representation of technology of audio in e-Learning was well researched and well executed. The charts design was easy to read and follow throughout. Ultimately the chart showed a compilation of web pages that covered five major precepts in multimedia projects such as podcasts, audio books, computer supported collaborative learning (CCL).

PEER REVIEW TEAM B In summary, Team Bs wiki page was nicely done. It could have had graphics and some forms of segmentation when explaining principles that do and do not promote learning.
