The document outlines an activity timeline for an online collaborative learning activity involving learners split into teams. It details the tasks for both the e-moderator and learners on each day of the 2 week activity. The activity involves teams researching a topic, submitting questions and answers to each other, presenting their findings, and providing a reflection at the end. The e-moderator monitors submissions, provides feedback, and ensures tasks are completed by deadlines. Learners collaborate online to complete tasks like submitting intro videos, questions, answers, and presentations. Individual and group performance is assessed based on completion of tasks and active participation by all learners.
