The social network helped you feel connected to the class and other students?
Feel Connected
Friday, May 9, 2008
Do you feel that the course network was a valuable tool added
to this course or too much of a distraction?
• “I thought it was alright, it helped me being an online student actually get different points of views from the other classmates and not feel so alone.”
• I didn't like how there wasn't a lot of class involvement other than when there was a mandatory class discussion. I felt it was a distraction other than when the class did participate then it was a useful tool.
