This week, ok last week, we are doing a quick self assessment of our course progress.  I’m going to try and answer them. I’ve been holding off writing this in the hope that I will be overcome in a wave of narcissism; without which my capacity to write about myself is very limited. Time has run out and not even doing weights in front of a mirror has induced the perquisite amount of self-loving; therefore the following is written humbly, and not through rose coloured glasses.

  1. Practical ability to leverage off web 2.0 to enhance personal branding.

Not brilliant, I’ll admit. My footprint on the web is very small, and has not really actively pursued expansion at this time. I have started to throw my name out there a little more now and it curious to see the corresponding increase in traffic on my site. It’s blatantly obvious that that is what would happen, really; but rewarding none the less. Also, my blog is very poorly branded. I’m using a vanilla template at this time; I really need to do something about that. Sex it up a bit.

  1. Manner and consistency of participation in weekly workshops activities and your contribution.

I am pretty consistent, I believe. Consistently about once a week and consistently about one week late.  What i really need to do is create content outside of the boundaries of the workshop, something that is fresh and thus generates both traffic and interest.

  1. Ability to appraise Web2.0 strategies and solutions for organisational and personal success.

I believe that I am now pretty well read on Enterprise2.0, I read all the links on the lecture slides and then try to read all the links on those pages; as well as pursuing any topic I stumble across in that process. I have tried to devote 1 day a week to reading and exploring in this subject. So, I think this growing breath of knowledge makes for a pretty good appraisal capacity. I think I probably need to show this a bit more though. Probably the best example to date is my reflections on the unit, both within this blog and on the community wiki.

  1. Ability to engage successfully with the wider community (including people outside of QUT) using Web 2.0 tools and techniques.

I have been participating within the community via contributions to the wiki and commenting on other people’s blogs. I have contributed to the lectures 100 times more than I usually would, but i am usually an incredibly passive student . But not heavily, I would not consider my participation above the bare minimum requirements in this subject.

  1. Leadership via the ability to contribute to the structure and format of the workshop activities, and the smooth running of the online community.

I have not displayed much leadership as such. Not at this point in time.
