Hi Everyone - it was nice to read your introductions. My name is Donna and I am finishing my M.A. in Communication and Education. I am particularly interested in virtual teams and learning, both in K-12 and Adult Professional Development settings so I'm looking forward to this course.
Right now I work with an LMS (Learning Management System) company in a division that has a very vertical platform for CTE (Career and Technical Education) students. I teach teachers and administrators how to use the technology to run their schools, help them go from paper to keyboard, and standardize everything from their grading rubric to discipline to their curricula and assignments.
I've taken a few other courses online at TC, and many that I might venture to call blended (even though they are f2f, the online component is integral.) My experience has varied in every situation which is a good thing, because the best way to learn what you like and don't like - and what you would do and wouldn't do - is through experience like this.
I look forward to learning with Moodle's platform, with Dr. Lowes who is certainly the expert in this type of teaching and learning, and with all of you.
