Week 7

 I would call this week “Prepare the next generation for success”. The material suggested is very easy to be understood and applied. It is very close to my perceptions in teaching and the aims I try to get. As always reading gave me much satisfaction and inspired new ideas. I have made much resource searching and came across great e-teaching/learning virtual communities. I like the approaches offered at the sites of Adobe Connect for e-Learning, I tried new tools suggested there. I opened much interesting while reading about controlled or managed crowdsourcing (as opposed to Wikipedia’s completely open model) http://www.onlineuniversities.com/blog/2011/11/the-future-of-e-learning-is-crowdsourcing . It is actually very much in line with the way in which online courses should be created.

This week brought a lot to read from other participants’ posts- an invaluable resource of creativity and fresh ideas! I am lagging behind with my project writing due to my ten days’ trip but I hope to keep deadlines. I am happy to have Rebecca and Elena as a group and hope they will give their helping hand in brushing up the project.
