Students need time to learn how to use the technological tools that are part of their course, time to become comfortable with participating and interacting in an online community, and time to process and construct their knowledge, just as we have experienced in this course ourselves. I suspect not only is the time needed for student learning underestimated in elearning but also the time needed for teachers / facilitators to manage their courses well. I totally agree that too much content really goes against quality learning; I’m all for a ‘less is more’ approach. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting to my blog, I think we have some common ground, and should try and support each other. I've been looking today at setting up del.icio.us tags, have you done that yet?

I hope we can help to support each other through this learning process, which seems pretty massive at the moment. but i am excited at what I think we will learn along the way. Using an RSS feed does make it a lot easier to see what everyone is doing and perhaps to help and support each other.Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02464510128406258242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698679465605916837.post-82320396855264273582007-09-10T09:11:00.000-07:002007-09-10T09:11:00.000-07:00Hey Debbie - I know I could not have achieved the ...Hey Debbie - I know I could not have achieved the knowledge, skills OR confidence if my friends had not been an important part of my learning trajectory. <BR/><BR/>So the deepest lesson I have learned is to have a network.

I have tried to get going on wikispaces but haven't enjoyed the experience much. The one that we are to use for this course looks even more confusing. But again like you,no doubt when I come back to it, it will sort itself out. cheers SarahSarah Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00480597227427423793noreply@blogger.com
