I was thinking about Word Clouds and wondered how TMAs would look if processed in this way, I tried first on T307 assignments and thought the result was useful so I have now put U101 TMA01 through Wordle. I think that this could help students to grasp, in a visual way, what the important points of the assignments are, of course there may be a danger of words not being large that should be, but at first sight this looks good to me, what do you think?
It also seems a great editing tool for us, as composers of these texts, to become more aware of how often and which words we use in any component. It seems here I repeat less relevant things such as Node too often - what do you think?

Interestingly I had not noticed the large "node" till you pointed it out. Perhaps the thing to do is to look and see whether it is important for this to be repeated, I think it probably is as you talk them through the template which means you have to refer to each node.
