4. The mid project report
• Based on your project plan  updated version: what
is the situation now:
– What you have already done? Evaluating, how well you have
reached the goals so far
– What are you still going to do? Is there any changes in plans,
circumstances etc?
• You can use almost the same headings (see the
project plan instruction), but also create new ones
• At this point you can also describe project’s
(theoretical and practical) background a bit clearer,
since you actually know more about what you are
dealing with and what you actully have done and
how…

5. The mid project report – peer feedback
• Send your report on Monday 8th of April to all of the evaluators by e-
mail (see the paper given to your team)
• Read the two reports you have received (and make notes)
– Is the report clear and coherent?
– Can you clearly see what has been done and what will be done next
in the project?
– Is the practical implementation of the project in line with the
theoretical background, context and the aims of the project
– What is especially good in the project and in the report?
– What written part still needs some special attention before the final
report?
– What kind of ideas or suggestions about the project implementation
you have for the project team?
• You will give your comments to the team in a feedback discussion in our
next meeting on Friday 12th of April (if you are not able to join the
meeting, send your written feedback to the team before that)

7. Project communication
and informing about your project
Discuss as a team:
• What are the main target groups that you want to inform about
your project?
• What are the main practices, mediums and tools that you use to
inform? Do you use different ways for different target groups?
• What are the main things you want the target groups to know
about the project? Are there different things to be informed for
different groups?

8. Digital story
• 2-5 minutes long story that includes pictures, text,
narration, video and/or music
• More information:
– http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_storytelling
– http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKZiXR5qUlQ
– Write ”digital story” or ”digital storytelling” to Google or YouTube
In this course, the digital story is the story of your
project work: process of your teamwork and
learning – the journey during this spring, with all the
accomplishments, challenges, emotions etc.
• The digital story will be created in three phases and in
the end it will be presented to other students and peer
evaluated.

9. Poster
In this course poster is the more ”official” product that you
will present to the client (and could present to the whole
world). In poster you don’t describe your learning process or
evaluate your teamwork. You tell what the project is about,
and what you have done and accomplished during the
project.
Making a good poster requires you to summarise the core of
the project and express it in (visually and verbally) clear
form.
Posters will be peer-evaluated. The instructions for the
poster and the quidelines for peer-evaluation will be
