nonsite

This week was a busy one. I flew back from Kansas City on Monday. I missed most of the discussion around the development of a website to post our 2 minute projects. Reading the archive from the chat it is clear it was a productive meeting between the f2f students and my online colleagues. John has kindly designed a site to post projects which is great, and the wiki continues to be the focus for the forum details, debate and discussions.

I have been working on a virtual agora as part of my contribution to the discussion. I have realized a great deal over the past week around what is needed for an online course to really succeed. Mots of the pieces are here within the MA_DA format, but as we’ve discoverd now that we’re rolling we don’t really have a need for BlackBoard other than for the weekly chats. The wiki and our weblogs are what are key.
