It would be great if the links and info were available after the course is done. There were many different topics and links that I would like to look up in the future, and it'd be nice to have them in one convenient file. Thank you for offering this course!

It was very difficult to follow who was speaking, and in some instances I would have preferred to have a written web chat.

The only time I've really utilized it was during courses when we'd use WebCT for our class meetings. It felt just like we were in the same room communicating, even though we were all over the country. It's a good way to get to know others quickly, and much more effective than just e-mailing.

I have been frustrated when using Microsoft Office, by their limited choices and difficulty opening files sent by others. When planning a display or class, I plan on using some of these new tools for more visual appeal and variety.
