Orientation Reflection - Week 1

The opportunity to learn about how to use the Electronic Learning Community was very valuable. It's nice to have time in advance of the coursework to learn how to navigate around and how best to communicate with other participants.

I feel very comfortable getting around, understanding how to make posts and how to keep myself on track with the coursework and materials. My biggest concerns with online learning are keeping the pace and not waiting until the last minute to complete assignments. I've struggled with this in the past, and plan to establish 'working times' dedicated to the coursework, just as you do when participating in a face to face course.

  1. I am glad to hear you are feeling more comfortable and confident using the ELC. As the weeks go by, this tool will become second nature to how you do your course work.

    I think you will find this to be a beneficial program in so many ways. Online courses are flexible yet rigorous. This blend of the A&S certificate with the technology focus is innovative and unique. I think you will be amazed with all that you learn.

    Best of luck,
    Jeanne
