I will review the annotated bibliography from Pedro.
The annotated bibliography from Pedro, is one reflexion from the three papers.
Start by noting the importance of using Web2.0 tools, for the publication of the work, it allows to be accessible to all his colleagues, thereby promoting collaboration and transparency, because they are accessible to all, stressing also the potential of social networks , for the interaction that allow.
I think Pedro should have done a reflection for each of the papers individually, and not one reflexion for all.
Pedro forgot to insert the names of the authors in their annotated bibliography, and I think maybe important insert the date of the papers.

I´ll review the Learning Object made by Joaquim
Joaquim made one interesting poster using glogster, to explain the significance of transparency in online learning, which promotes cooperation and improves quality, making variations in color, to highlight some important concepts.
In my opinion, maybe Joaquim could have given more interactivity to the poster by inserting some videos or images. I would suggest for example, insert some of the LO made by Joaquim in this Master Degree, or even some of those made in this unit by different colleagues.

This article from Christian Dalsgaard, from Institute of Information and Media Studies, University of Aarhus, Denmark, talk about the Social networking sites: Transparency in online education.
The central characteristic of social networking sites is a combination of personalization and socialization. This combination has a potential to facilitate transparency between students.
Transparency is a prerequisite for distance students to work cooperatively. Transparency means that students are visible to each other as potential partners and resources.
Transparency between students means that they have insight into each other’s work, thoughts, and productions. Not least within online education, transparency is not a given. Students might work at a distance and individually, and, thus, they are not necessarily aware of the activities of other students. In their individual work, however, students write notes, search for literature, find relevant websites, write assignments, etc. This information and these products are relevant to other students.
