Week 4 is not very good for me. I have done all of the tasks but the article I wrote for our wiki is not complete.
I did learn a lot this week, by connecting with my groupmates and by reading articles on copyright. Meeting with my team and talking about copyright helps me learn a lot without having to read so much more than what was assigned to me. Our wiki now has content that can now be useful to readers. We have shared the link to our classmates.
My learning for this week is about moral rights and copyright. I hope to do better next week.

Week 3
My learning for this week is all about Creative Commons. This is something I didn’t know about before.
As for our wiki, we have agreed on the concept, which will be Copyright FAQs. We have also agreed on the list of content and have divided the list among ourselves for research. Meeting time is still a challenge because both Jenn and I have children and Nathan is in Calgary which is an hour in advance. We are making it work though, to get the wiki done.

Week 2
I have decided to include in my weekly blog, my number one learning for the week. This way, when I read my posts here in the future, I will have documented what I got from this course.
This week, I learned about the voice thread wiki. I didn't know that such a thing existed. That makes a wiki so much more interesting.
I have met with my group mates Nathan and Jenn. I am glad that Jenn is organizing our group. We are ahead of schedule, our wiki is now up. We have agreed to list down issues that we find interesting on copyright.
In working with a group in an online course, I have learned many things. One is that it is always helpful to know something personal about each other and seeing what each other looks like, as well as hearing each others voices. These things help in making the connection to the group and making the connection gives way to getting the work done more easily.
I'm sure I'll learn more about the dynamics of working with a group on an online project once we get our wiki constructed. I'll post more learnings then.
For now, I'd say week two is good and I feel that this course will lead me to a career in e-learning. I am enjoying viewing projects of past students and looking forward to doing my own digital project.

Week 1
Week 1 is good so far. I found it to be a slow start. I heard from people who took this course previously that this was an intense course. I was expecting to be overwhelmed. I just finished another class, then the Christmas holidays, and now an online course. I really thought the first week would kill me.
So it was a pleasant surprise that it's a good beginning. Nothing has killed me so far. I even think that I would enjoy this. I totally believe that taking PIDP 3100 online last year, prepared me well for this.
About the course, I am excited that I can do any digital project on a topic that I choose. I will do a digital project on something at work. That way, my time will be used both for work and school. That will really make everything easier. Doing courses back to back eats up all of my time. I am looking forward to using new technology. I am tired of power point.
That's it for now. I hope to meet my classmates online soon.
