Bil sent another email today to delay the next orientation activity. I can imagine the work involved in putting put a class for the first time. Funny I took yet another peek at the pre survey results today. One person evidently is very skeptical about the benefit of an online class. This person expressed his or her concern by sharing, “I am not sure that you can really teach anything online. But, I hope I am wrong about this.” Great, at least this person is open-minded about the possibility. This person went on to share that “I think that it would take so much time to do an online course properly that it is not possible to do that and conduct research.” It is so true that it takes a tremendous amount of time to get an online class ready. I often wish I can teach face-to-face more since I can have all the content in my head without having to digitalize all of them in advance and post to class BEFORE class! Yes, I understand the concerns very well.Let’s see if this certificate program will move on smoothly and let’s see if and how an online community is formed.
