Hi! What an fascinating topic. Something I haven't considered very deeply in the past. I did some research and stumbled across a book written by Renee Simmons Raney (https://ebookcentral-proquest-com.ezproxy.canberra.edu.au/lib/canberra/reader.action?docID=5440260) to encourage and inspire children to become creative in nature to provide a sense of appreciation and enthusiasm for the world around them. This book was written as a method to cure nature deficiency in children, therefore I thought may be useful to reference or possibly use an excerpt as an example of alternative ways for children to be involved in nature. Good luck with the rest of your chapter :) --Shayley Woodgate (discusscontribs) 10:44, 11 October 2020 (UTC)Reply

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==

  3. Learning features
    1. Excellent use of embedded in-text interwiki links to Wikipedia articles.

    3. Abbreviations
      1. Check and correct grammatical formatting for abbreviations (such as e.g., i.e.., etc.).
  5. Proofreading

  6. APA style
    1. In general, do not capitalise the names of disorders, therapies, theories, etc..
    2. Use double- rather than single-quote marks for emphasis.
    3. Numbers under 10 should be written in words (e.g., five); numbers 10 and over should be written in numerals (e.g., 10).
    4. Figures and tables
      1. Use APA style to refer to each Table and each Figure (e.g., do not use italics, check and correct capitalisation).
    5. Citations are not in full APA style. For example:
      1. If there are three or more authors, cite the first author followed by et al., then year (e.g., Smith et al., 2020)
    6. References use correct APA style.

Overall

[edit source]
  1. Overall, this is a very good presentation.
  1. An appropriate amount of content is presented - not too much or too little.
  2. The presentation is well structured.
  3. Consider adding and narrating an Overview slide (e.g., with focus questions), to help orientate the viewer about what will be covered.
  4. The presentation makes excellent use of theory.
  5. The presentation makes good use of research.
  6. The presentation makes excellent use of one or more examples or case studies or practical advice.
  7. The presentation could be improved by making more use of examples or case studies.
  8. A Conclusion slide is presented with a take-home message(s).
  1. The presentation is easy to follow.
  2. The presentation makes effective use of animated slides with narrated audio.
  3. 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.
  4. Consider improving articulation to enhance the clarity of speech.
  5. The font size is sufficiently large to make it easy to read. Sometimes could be improved by using less text to make it easier to read.
  6. The visual communication is effectively supplemented by images.
  1. The video is very well produced.
  2. The sub-title is missing in both the video title and on the opening slide - this would help to clearly convey the purpose of the presentation.
  3. Audio recording quality was good but a bit tinny. Probably an on-board microphone was used. Consider using an external microphone.
  4. Visual display quality was very good.
  5. Image sources and their copyright status are not provided.
  6. A copyright license for the presentation is not provided.
  7. A link to the book chapter is provided.
