Week 1 Wimba was very informative! Joe informed us of all of the assignments and thoroughly explained the process for posting to our Blogs.  Class is like a good game, Joe stated. Just jump in!  I like that analogy!   A course overview was discussed and due dates were highlighted to ensure that we all are on the same page.  You guys had some issues with hearing Joe in Wimba, his voice did sound a little muffled to me too when I was listening to the Wimba Archive.  While watching the videos in prep for Wimba, I liked the fact that Joe recapped the information for us which helped me to organize everything.  I also took screen shots from the videos. So in this class, we get the chance to finalize everything in the Capstone Project so that by our last month (YAY!) we have everything in place.  This is also an opportunity for us to utilize what we learned in previous classes in MAC. Most of our activities will be posted to our blogs that we created earlier in this program.

The details that Joe shared regarding blogging and responding or commenting to 2 of our classmates blog post, the schedule, Capstone, due dates and our Lit Reviews really allowed me to see how everything falls in place for this class, especially with the Capstone (CBR) project and abstract. Having the schedule broken down really facilitates everyone achieving optimal success. Also the information concerning submission of our Lit Reviews was informational.  Having the information to reformat our lit reviews is quite helpful.

In addition we have a PLP to complete that is due week 4 which encompasses us editing our Lit Reviews and turning them into papers for publication of some sort.  We also have to make a decision on whether we want to publish it or present our research to various organizations and or publications. We can also include our phase 3 cycle in this paper. Wow! That is awesome!  Thanks for all of the insights into what is expected of us in this class, Joe.
