Here is some feedback I might provide on this course, EPA 508. The intent is constructive not destructive!
Work worked
Great conversations and resources (both human and technical)
Time to explore, play, and think
What didn’t work
The only thing I think might have worked better was less “big” Web2.0 products. I noticed a lot of people who were on info technology overload. As far as the setup and the interactions go it was right on.
Suggestions for this course in the future
Either a two week course (6 cr) to give people enough time to digest the content, applications, and the how to or break the class into two parts intro to the digital classroom and then Web 2.x in the Classroom.
Having the articles/links on a CD to access might have been nice.
VoIP technology
This has been a great course. Thank you for offering it!

Thanks for the feedback.
I agree with you that the conversation was fantastic! I learned so much.
When you say “big” web 2.0 Tools, I’m not sure what you mean. One of the reasons I made some of the sessions optional was so that people didn’t have to try to digest everything. But I agree with you that it’s too much for a week. I am going to propose that we break this class in to two sessions.
I thought about putting the articles on CD, I’ll think about that for next time.
Thanks again for all your help during the week.
Have a great school year!
Alice,
You were very clear that a lot of those sessions were optional but I got the sense earlier in the week (not later) that people didn’t want to miss something that they might have used. Please don’t take the comment to heart, in fact it is a compliment that people wanted to be human sponges and pick up as much as they could while they were in class.
