The Assignment:Locate 3 journal articles on the topic of the week, summarize them, and share them with the class. Then read everyone else’s summaries.
*Adapted from Mike Wesch’s 94 articles activity: http://mediatedcultures.net/ksudigg/?p=202

To do so, we’ll create a form in Zoho Creator for students to fill out.

Then, we’ll configure a page that displays all the student entered article summaries (called the view)

Then, we’ll pull the page into Blackboard

Interpersonal Comm. Bibliography
1. Name your application (can be anything - I used the course number)
2. Name the form you’re creating (I called it Bibliography)
3. Click ‘create from scratch’
4. Click the ‘create now’ button. This will generate a page that looks like this:

Create the form by dragging & dropping fields into the blank workspace (one at a time) and configuring each.

Once you drag a field onto the workspace, a configuration window will pop up. Label each field (in this case I’m creating a dropdown list so students can pick the topic of the week). Clicking ‘Options’ will let you customize your form further (handy but not necessary).
