Here I Go Again...

If anything, I'm persistent. On March 07, 2011 the Facilitating Online 2011 course will begin again. I'm going to try to complete it ... again. This time I may have greater chance at finishing the course; in March I will be doing a series for Training Media Review, a magazine I have been writing for, for the past eleven years (yikes, time goes by fast) on Web Conferencing Tools, and Online Faciliatation. The course runs till July 08 2011 which is better than last year when it started around that time. Summer is time off and family and friends so I had a late start and never managed to catch up.

Out of the three levels of participation, I have chosen to be an informal student. I get to access the course materials and join the course. The fee for facilitated students allow you to receive focused and personalized learning support, full access to the course web conferencing platform and email group as well a certficate of participation when they complete the course. If you choose to become a formal students then you receive assesment services and formal credeits for course completion.

My interest is to see how well I can participate and contribute even though I'm just tagging along. It will interesting to see how far I get before I decide to upgrade my status.

By the time this course starts I should know more about how to use Blogger and Twitter. These kinds of courses are fabulous but you really need to learn these tools to feel like a part of these course whatever fee structure you choose.

So, wish me luck.
