it was a riot when the Prof advised everyone in our first online class not to type if you needed to use the bathroom or go get drink becuase nobody can see what you are doing on the other side of your computer. It's too bad that the course you need is asynchronous!

Best reagrds, Arnie

If the classes are synchronous, you will be surprised to find there often is alot more interaction online because it is a different learning dynamic. I completed an online masters degree in Library and Information Science at UIUC and in many ways it was much more challenging -and fun- than physical class meetings. It was also interesting to learn the protocols involved and provided a first-hand perspective on new possibilities for teaching and learning. I believe "blended learning" is the hot topic. Brooke and you would both be surprised by how much interaction there is in an online course. Some online courses/programs require an on campus meeting once during the course/semester -so you still have that face-to-face component. This true at least of the program I was in: http://www.lis.uiuc.edu/programs/leep/>
When an online course is well taught that also helps. You should defnitely try it if at all possible, you'll do great.

How many credits do you have left? I only have 6 completed so far. I'm so excited to discover this site! There's just so much stuff!!

I do a video podcast and love would to have video comments or emails from your class or even questions for Santa. I will work them into my podcast and emails copies to you. I would love to interact with your students. If you go to my wedsite www.santalivenow.com you will see how commented I am to spreading the Spirit Of Christmas.
