Final Elluminate Session

Hi -
I was in the same session as Kari Ann, and I agree that the smaller session size seemed advantageous. Great presentations by everyone. Such a nice way to review the term.

Because of my technical background, I feel like I shouldn't have technical difficulties, but I did. Technical problems are almost to be expected in online learning, don't you think? They are another "learning opportunity." They are also a good argument for back-up strategies. I'm so glad that I created the web page and the PPT slide. Still, neither worked very well for sharing audio.

Great active learning stuff! Thanks everyone!

Feedback for Final Live Session

The final live session was an excellent way to synthesize what we've learned throughout the course and to see how other's are connecting these ideas as well. There were only 5 students in my live session this time - the smaller group seemed to work best. I know it's not always possible to regulate the number of participants in the session, but I think the small size really improved the experience for me. We were able to get a little deeper in our dialogue. This has been a wonderful course that has positively impacted my approach to course design. Thank you everyone!
