Hello All,

Activity 8 was quite interesting. I found the editing process quite easy to do, which motivates me to do this.
Here are my reflections and thoughs about activity 8&9

•  
  1. My repurposing goals were to experiment with the editing of an existing article. It was not meant for students or others but as a learning process for me. The content of the article was about a hangover and they described some phrases from different European Countries. I have added a phrase from the Netherlands as a contribution to the article. No specific audience, unless people going to the Netherlands, getting drunk and then using this phrase to get over their hangover are considered to be a specific audience.
  2. The editing was quite easy. I did use the “walkthrough” though and that was very helpful. However, I could not immediately see the text I had edited. I had to look it up again in my version of the article. However, that is probably due to lack of experience. I quite liked the option of using a copy of the original page and the fact that the original content of the article is always available. The editing process is well structured and this helped me to find the tools I needed to be able to edit swiftly and easily. However, looking at the list of reviews, the more people who do it, the longer the list gets and the harder it becomes to know where to look for relevant contributions.

I am looking forward to reading anyone else’s experiences.

Cheers,

Eugene
