Unit 3: Transparency in Online Education - Activity 3 -Review AB

Hello, teacher and classmates.

Again the choice of the AB and LO proposed by the teacher, was not an easy task. I also want to congratulate the work done by colleagues who strive to show different ways to present their work. It is very enriching.

My choice of AB was determined taking into account the following criteria:

- The diversity and quality of literature presented;

- Relevance of the bibliography, it goes against the relevant topic, showing the core content;

- Visual presentation of selected bibliography.

Using the criteria of choice, will choose the AB created by Paula Silva. Paula begins with an introduction, which explains a general bibliography presented. After each document in the literature, made a summary of its essence, making a personal assessment of the Rest period document. In some images relevant documents submitted and presented at the end of a recent representative of transparency online, created by colleagues in our masters program.
