Part 1: General Information about the Project (intended for both process and
showcase portfolios)

Title Managing Writing Discussion Forums

Type of Program Learning needs assessment

Client Head of the English department at the University of Regina
Production Tools For data collection I have used a number of journal articles as
Used well as the university’s webpages and documents in order to
ensure that my information is inclusive. Also I had a
conversation with the coordinator of undergraduate programs
of the English department.

About This Sample In this sample I have made inquiries about the business need
of this project and all the other requirements such as the
needs of learners and the constraints along the way.
Moreover, the objectives that need to be achieved and the
evaluation questions that showcase the extent of learning and
satisfaction of learners are presented in this sample.

Unique Issues Regarding the hierarchy of tasks, it was difficult to

differentiate the section that focuses on the content of
creative writing lessons and feedback giving from the section
that focuses on technically managing a forum. But finally as I
adapted the steps from one similar sample which was
published in a peer reviewed journal, I managed to increase
the validity of tasks.

Your Contributions I contributed a lot by reading about this field and editing
some parts of my sample several times. I tried to follow the
rubrics of APA 7 and in order to do so I consulted with my
colleagues and followed the samples on APA website.
