ETL 503 Assignment 1

This assignment topic has been more straightforward. However, the central part of the topic has still been challenging. It is easy to see why Wikipedia is so successful. The breadth of topics, the uniformity of the layout, the inclusion of contents menus and search facilities make it easy for the students to find the information they require. I have chosen the Stage 4 HSIE topic Contact and Colonisation with the aim of providing resources for students to investigate the experience of Contact and Colonisation upon indigenous people throughout the world. This has proved more difficult than I anticipated as each website will present the information in different way, with different emphasis and sometimes with inadequate information on the survival of traditional life and culture,as if these had completely disappeared, which is not really the case.
