Update

As you can see from the lack of posts, my Creating Collaborative Communities class didn't want a blog, reflections were done online.

I had a lot of trouble with the class because the instructions were very unclear. I did the readings, I did the exercises, but compiling all this on a website was not clearly explained. The rubric was no helpful, nor were the weekly comments. The module instructions said one thing and the comments reflected another standard.

I have learned just how important it is to read, re-read, rest, and read again as the facilitator of an online course. Doing this is takes lots of lead-in time. That was one of the points made in on of our readings - about 70% of the work for an online course is done before the class even starts.

I made it through the class, I learned plenty, and now I am beginning a new class.
