Because we are keen for you to play an important and contributing
role in this unit, discussion plays a crucial role in conveying
information, ideas, discussing and contesting ideas and developing
each other's understanding of the concepts we are investigating.
There are a number of important areas for discussion and we have
listed them here for you to explore. You will find that the software
we use to run the discussion groups is easy to use and you should
be able to move backwards forwards and between the different groups
once inside. You might find you don't need to come back here unless
you get lost and need to know what different discussion pages there
are.
This is a public access area. Use the noticeboard to contact me
about concerns, ideas for and questions about your assessments and
other students on unit-related housekeeping issues. I would appreciate

This area will need a password. All posts in this area will be
moderated.
Use the tutorial discussions to discuss with me and your fellow
students issues regarding "the Wilderness" - your first assessment
activity and the ideas and concepts introduced in the 4
Key Questions.
These areas will need a password. All posts in this area will be
moderated.
Use the issues discussion pages to post the information and resources
you find on the topics you investigate. You are also expected to
contest, challenge or extend the posts listed here.
When you have explored the Discussion Pages, you should head back
to the Classroom and begin your travels
through the unit by beginning to explore the 'wilderness'
through the classroom window.
