At the beginning of the semester I was very happy to see that there were a few online classes. I have a very busy semester and will welcome any online class so I can get to bed early on Thursday nights. After the first online class I was pretty overwhelmed by all of the parts that had to be accomplished. Plus, it took me much longer to complete the assignments than the time suggestions. I decided that I would much rather be in class then at home spending many hours on work.
As the semester went on I enjoyed each online class. Granted it continued to take me a long time to complete assignments, but each lesson brought new challenges. Each lesson definitely had me doing things that were out of my comfort zone, but if it weren't for the online classes I would have not done this type of work. As I am writing this I am very frustrated that I can not figure out how to get my UBD lesson onto the blog!
After my experiences in this class I would take a class like this again, but I would not take a class that is completely online. I am the kind of person that learns better from being in the classroom, listening to and participating in discussions. I am glad that I had the opportunity to take a class like this and have enjoyed being in it.

About the last thing you said; completely online would not be as effective as what we are doing. I think alot of times people get caught up with using technology and totally forget the "people" part of learning.
Technology is the means and not the end. I believe our class really promotes a good balance between both human and technological interaction.
I concur. Iwould never want to teach a completely onlone class either for the reasons mentioned!
