Today I learned that hurricane Irene can cause issues with the Internet connection. The once written, but not saved blog has disappeared. Thus a student and a teacher needs to be prepared and flexible for the issues that come with missed classes and missed connections.
Connections. It seems a goal of online learning is to have the students build independence of searching for information. However, there is so much information and so little time during a quarter I am curious if streamlining the blogs, wikis, and sites that are required for class would aid in the process. Yet, you don't want to be hindered by a specific reliance on certain products.
Professor or facilitator presence still remains a vital part of the learning process.
I am glad I am having the opportunity to participate as a student in an online forum. This will allow understanding from the perspective of future students.
