Online Education: Horror or Happy Stories
So far online education has been one of an exciting adventure for me. It has saved me time for commuting to classes and the usual traffic jams so that more time is spent on reading and doing assignments than on commuting. Though I miss the face to face contacts yet this mode of learning has been a new way of acquiring knowledge and I am happy for it despite its draw backs.



@Kathy Kellen
I agree with Kathy. The platform works well with me. I am able to turn is assignments without hassle; just with a click/. I connect with course mates through, Wimba, iChat, Skype and video conferencing. By these means I am able to see some face to face besides the voice connection. Through Google document we are able to work together as course mates and do editing and populating our documents. To me it has been an exciting learning adventure.


@Cathy Palmer
Yes Cathy you are right about threaded discussions. However in one of these courses(I think in Cathy Craven class) we were exposed to threaded discussions system which we could develop for use in the classes we teach. And I believe with these comments Full Sail may incorporate it soon in their online systems.
Participation by instructors was really helpful.

@Felicia Andorko
Yes, Felicia, I also used blackboard and Turn It in in some of my college class. And they were my first introduction to online classes and systems of learning. However my experience at Full Sail has so far surpasses my previous experiences. Though I a slow learner in cooperation and connectivity, yet I have begun to appreciate the system and simply love it.
