Your task is to critically review THREE (3) recent article (2018 onwards) related to the topics in our syllabus. The article should come from a refereed journal.
ARTICLE REVIEW GUIDELINES
- Your final report should be no less than 5 pages for an article reviewed (Times New Roman, Font 12, double spacing). This does not include your bibliographic references, diagrams or large gaps between parts of your report. There is no maximum length.
- Do not copy any part of the article into your review. If you want to use more than 3-4 author’s words, then use quotation marks, and add a page number from the article (if available) when you cite this quotation.
- Proofread your review for grammar and clarity as well as spelling. You should be sure that you have caught all mistakes and written clearly.
- Be careful of plagiarism.
- Please attach the original article you have reviewed.
PREPARING FOR YOUR REVIEW
An article results from critically examining all aspects of an article. You will have to read your article several times to understand it fully enough to review properly.
Often, comparing your article to others will help you determine its quality.
Also, think about the article and its ideas in terms of each of the different week’s concepts and frameworks we study in class. Do the ideas in the article fit all the categories of appropriate class concepts, model and frameworks? This often will help you see things the authors missed, think about things the authors write differently, or see that the authors indeed covered a topic thoroughly.

Two Phrases That Indicate Your Boss Is Not Listening To You
One of the biggest predictors of whether an employee will be engaged at work is the extent to which they feel like their boss listens to them. But sadly, we’ve all had (or are having) the experience of a boss who doesn’t listen to us. And I’m not talking about really blatant situations (e.g. they literally turn away from us or roll their eyes), but rather those situations in which the boss acts like they’re listening but hears nothing we say.
I recently witnessed just such a case. An executive, let’s call him “Pat,” was holding a town hall meeting to discuss the company’s recent, and disappointing, employee engagement survey results. About 40 employees showed up to the meeting. He kicked things off by saying, “Welcome, everybody. As you know, I’m having this meeting today because I want to hear your concerns directly. I’m here to listen about your issues with your supervisors, so fire away.”
One employee raised his hand first and said, “With the recent cost-cutting, I think we’ve all got concerns about whether we’re going to have jobs next year.” Pat quickly responded, “Oh, I hear you. You think you’ve got problems? At least your wages are ones that other companies will pay. But I’m the VP and I’m over 50, so when you combine my high salary with my age, I’m going to have a really tough time finding a job. But hey, life’s not fair, right?”
Then another employee raised their hand. “I actually have a different concern. My supervisor tells me that I’m supposed to bring her any suggestions for improvement, but when I do, it’s like she doesn’t listen to me.” Pat responded, “I know how that feels, but I don’t want you to worry, because those feelings will pass and you will get over it.”

The Integration Plan Assignment asked you to choose a technology to implement into your instructional environment and to outline a series of important considerations related to the integration. For this assignment, you'll have the opportunity to actually use the technology tool you've chosen to develop a sample piece of instructional material. Consider this prototype as if would become a sample that you could share with your organizational leaders as they consider your integration plan. Realistically, both of these pieces (the plan and your prototype) can become valuable pieces of your professional portfolio.
Instructions
- Choose an actual piece of instructional content that you would deliver using the technology tool you chose for the Integration Plan Assignment. This should be a brief unit (or a section of a unit), approximately 5-10 minutes of instructional material.
- Create an account or acquire access to your chosen instructional technology tool so that you can create your instructional materials.
- Develop a working prototype of your instructional unit using the tool you've selected. If you've chosen a hardware tool or an assistive or supporting technology, you may need to think creatively about how you will capture your instructional unit as a prototype. For example, you could consider screen recording the use of an app on an iPad, video recording the use of a wearable device, etc.
- Once you've created your prototype, please ensure that you're able to share the materials with others. Many web-based technologies offer a "Share" link, or else you can submit a video recording or other artifact as needed. Please ensure that any link sharing settings have been enabled correctly so that we are able to view your prototype.
