First impressions of the first weeks of class

The takeaway from the first weeks of class:  Taking an online course is much more challenging than teaching one.  

Once I climbed the steep hill to maneuver LEO with some ease,  then I encountered the mountain around the bend --  the time it took to accomplish the reading of assigned materials along with the discussions (or conferences?)

While the readings in the first two modules were extremely helpful, I didn't start to feel comfortable until I began the writing assignment.  I'm grateful to have the opportunity for a TII report as well as feedback from the writing coach.  I hope to make meaningful changes to the paper once I have some time and distance away.  I'm glad that the final draft isn't due until March 8th!

  1. This LEO system is new to me. I had just mastered the other system Webtycho that UMUC is using for courses also. There was a lot of information in the first two modules and learning it also helped me with the tasks and assignments for this course.
