Heading casing[edit source]

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings (or sentence casing). For example, use:

==Cats and dogs==

rather than

==Cats and Dogs==

The topic development has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing the chapter plan. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Topic development marks are available via UCLearn. Note that marks are based on what was available before the due date, whereas the comments may also be based on all material available at time of providing this feedback.

Title and sub-title[edit source]

  1. Formatting and content fixed

User page[edit source]

  1. Created, with description about self and link to book chapter

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. None summarised with links to evidence.

Section headings[edit source]

  1. Basic, 2-level heading structure - could benefit from further development
  2. Avoid having sections with 1 sub-heading - use 0 or 2+ sub-headings.
  3. See earlier comment about Heading casing.

Key points[edit source]

  1. Avoid too much generic background info. Summarise and provide links to Wikipedia articles and other book chapters for more info.
  2. Remove or adapt generic template content.
  3. Basic, uneven development of key points for each section, with relevant citations.
  4. Maybe consider Leonard, R., & Onyx, J. (2009). Volunteer tourism: The interests and motivations of grey nomads. Annals of Leisure Research, 12(3-4), 315-332.
  5. Direct quotes need page numbers; even better, express in your own words.
  6. Overview - Consider adding focus questions.
  7. Consider introducing a case study in the Overview.
  8. Consider including more examples/case studies.
  9. Consider embedding one quiz question per major section rather than having one longer quiz towards the end.

Image[edit source]

  1. An image (figure) is presented.
  2. Caption uses APA style.
  3. Caption could better explain how the image connects to key points being made in the main text.
  4. Figure(s) are cited at least once in the main text.

References[edit source]

  1. OK.
  2. For full APA style:
    1. Alphabetical order
    2. Use correct capitalisation
    3. Use correct italicisation
    4. Use the new recommended format for dois - http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2014/07/how-to-use-the-new-doi-format-in-apa-style.html
    5. Do not include issue numbers for journals which are continuously numbered within a volume

Resources[edit source]

  1. Messy - edited to tidy up

Chapter review and feedback[edit source]

This chapter has been reviewed according to the marking criteria. Written feedback is provided below, plus there is a general feedback page. Please also check the chapter's page history to check for editing changes made whilst reviewing through the chapter. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below and/or contacting the reviewer. Chapter marks will be available later via UCLearn Canvas, along with social contribution marks and feedback. Keep an eye on Announcements.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is an insufficient chapter.
  2. Include more examples or a case study.
  3. Solid Overview.
  4. For additional feedback, see comments below and these copyedits.

Theory[edit source]

  1. Overall, this chapter makes basic use of theory.
  2. Callan and Thomas (2005) three levels - but only two are described?
  3. Did you consult Maslow (1943)? If not, this should be a secondary citation.
  4. Maslow's hierarchy of needs is probably overused (too much general background). Instead, summarise and link to further general information, to allow this chapter to focus on the specific topic (i.e., the sub-title question).
  5. Perhaps also consider Clary and Snydner's functional model of volunteering motivations.
  6. Perhaps also consider the exploitative/colonial potential of VT.

Research[edit source]

  1. Some relevant research is reviewed, but the chapter lacks a comprehensive synthesis of research about VT motivations.
  2. When describing important research findings, consider including a bit more detail about the methodology and indicate the size of effects in addition to whether or not there was an effect or relationship.
  3. Greater emphasis on major reviews and/or meta-analyses would be helpful.

Written expression[edit source]

  1. Written expression
    1. Overall, the chapter is poorly written. The quality of written expression is below professional standard.
    2. Use third person perspective rather than first person (e.g., "we") or second person (e.g., "you") perspective.
    3. Avoid directional referencing (e.g., "As previously mentioned").
  2. Layout
    1. Avoid having sections with only one sub-section.
    2. Remove citations from headings.
  3. Learning features
    1. Almost no use of interwiki links to Wikipedia articles. Adding interwiki links for the first mention of key words would make the text more interactive.
    2. No use of embedded links to related book chapters. Embedding interwiki links links to related book chapters helps to integrate this chapter into the broader book project.
    3. Very basic use of images.
    4. No use of tables.
    5. Very basic use of feature boxes.
    6. Basic use of quizzes.
    7. No use of case studies or examples.
    8. For numbered lists, use Wikiversity formatting per Tutorial 1.
  4. Grammar
    1. The grammar for many sentences could be improved (e.g., see the [grammar?] tags).
    2. Check and make correct use of commas.
  5. Spelling
    1. Spelling can be improved (e.g., see the [spelling?] tags).
  6. Proofreading
    1. More proofreading is needed to fix typos and bring the quality of written expression closer to a professional standard.
    2. Remove double-spaces
    3. Sentences should start with capital letters.
  7. APA style
    1. Direct quotes need page numbers.
    2. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    3. Use APA style for Figure captions. See example.
    4. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure.
    5. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Use ampersand (&) inside brackets and "and" outside brackets.
      2. In-text citations should be in alphabetical order.
      3. A full stop is needed after "et al".
      4. A comma is needed for citations like (Maslow 1943) i.e., (Maslow, 1943)
    6. References are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. Check and correct use of capitalisation.
      2. Check and correct use of italicisation.

Social contribution[edit source]

  1. ~3 logged, useful, social contributions with direct links to evidence

Multimedia feedback

The accompanying multimedia presentation has been marked according to the marking criteria. Marks are available via the unit's Canvas site. Written feedback is provided below, plus see the general feedback page. Responses to this feedback can be made by starting a new section below. If you would like further clarification about the marking or feedback, contact the unit convener.

Overall[edit source]

  1. Overall, this is a good, basic presentation.

Structure and content[edit source]

  1. Reasonably well selected content, although probably could be improved by slowing down and presenting less. There is a "relentless" with packing. There is little pause or break-up e.g., with examples. Sounds like the narrator is just reading a long script rather than creating an engaging presentation.

not too much or too little.

  1. The presentation is well structured (Title, Overview, Body, Conclusion).
  2. The presentation is poorly structured. In particular, it lacks a Title, Overview, and Conclusion.
  3. Add and narrate a Title slide, to help the viewer understanding the focus and goal of the presentation.
  4. Add and narrate an Overview slide, to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
  5. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
  6. The presentation could be strengthened by adding a Conclusion slide with practical, take-home messages.
  7. There is too much content, in too much detail, presented within the allocated time frame. Zoom out and provide a higher-level presentation at a slower pace. It is best to do a small amount well than a large amount poorly.

Communication[edit source]

  1. The presentation makes effective use of text and image based slides with narrated audio.
  2. Well paced. Excellent pauses between sentences. This helps the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  3. Consider slowing down and leaving longer pauses between sentences. This can help the viewer to cognitively digest the information that has just been presented before moving on to the next point.
  4. Consider using greater intonation to enhance listener interest and engagement.
  5. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read.
  6. Some of the font size should be larger to make it easier to read.
  7. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
  8. The visual communication could be improved by including some relevant images.

Production quality[edit source]

  1. Check and correct grammar (e.g., ones -> one's).
  2. Communicate the chapter title in the file name.
  3. Use the chapter title and correct sub-title on the opening slide and in the name of the video because this helps to match the book chapter and to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  4. Audio recording quality was good but probably recorded with an on board microphone rather than a plug in microphone because keyboard clicks can be heard.
  5. Visual presentation and recording quality was good.
  6. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided.
  7. A copyright license for the presentation is/not provided.
  8. A link to the book chapter is not provided.
  9. A link from the book chapter is provided.
