I enjoyed doing the 23Things course. I have learned many new things from this course. Although I did not have time to explore more on each topic or Web 2.0 applications, I know the concepts and can check them out later when I have time. Finding enough time each week is my biggest problem in this course. I always feel like I do not have enough time each week to catch up with the pace. It took me longer than the time I had allocated for each topic. I also felt frustrated when I had a question, or was stuck on something, and could not ask anyone at that time. This was the reason I mentioned in one of my blog entries that I prefer class room learning to online learning. Sometimes the problem could be just because I could not see an icon to click. I had to spend a lot of time to find an answer which an instructor could easily point out to me. I read an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education that a US online education survey showed that online teaching does not save academics time and students do not get better grades than they were learning in a classroom. I can see the reason from my experience. I like the idea suggested by Astrosloth that having a collective blog so we can get instant answers or at least get notice when we encounter problems in the course.
Thank you Usyd 23Things team for offering this course. I hope to use some of the things I learned in my projects.
