Reflections

This week, the class discussed learning objects. I thought I had a good grasp of learning object, until it was pointed out that instructional techniques such as blog, wikis, podcasting etc. were not learning objects. Learning objects are learning contents used with a variety of learning management systems. Well, that confusion no longer exists and I feel that I am better able to plan for instruction for the new school year. The views expressed by the class in addition with the class instructor helped to clarify this.

I returned to the US on wednesday and after bragging about getting the internet non stop, I was unable to get the internet between Monday and Tuesday, so I had to fit everything within a short week. Julie tried to IM me, but I was not on the computer, so my response was much later. The same thing happened with Robert, we tried communicating in class. I am beginning to regret that the course is about to end, I have learned so much from everyone.

Marcelle,

I am quite envious. I cannot believe you managed to squeeze out a break in the midst of the quarter. Good for you! I noted your post about clarification of learning objects. It is amazing how much new information I have learned in this course. All of this is preparing us to be well informed in the area of our expertise.

By the way, I also love my own company. Sometimes I think I love my own company too much. I am a real introvert but will socialize if I have to.

I see that we do have much in common. Marcelle
