dreambazaar and team up!

[Yishay Mor]

We've received this question on the feedback cloud for team up!:

Looking at the instructions, it appears that the team cloud and the dreambazaar cloud are not the same thing - or are they? It seems that a lot of them are and I'm now confused as I'd assumed from the messages from Yishay that they weren't, e.g. 'It is critical that "dreambazaar" clouds are in the "dreambazaar" cloudscape, team clouds in the team cloudscape, etc. ' Can you clarify, please? The above link didn't explain further, as far as I could see. It could, as Yishay says, become a 'huge pile of spaghetti', especially if project teams are bringing together aspects of different projects; surely a new cloud(scape) needs to be formed for that?

That correct. Dreambazaar is for personal initial ideas, team up! is for agreed projects. Now, you can in theory form a team of one and work on the same idea you had in the dreambazaar, but learning design is usually at its best as a collaborative activity, so we strongly recommend that you form a team. That might mean a bit of negotiation - but that's also an opportunity to clarify and specify your ideas.
