This week, there were three opportunities to attend web conferences with Dr. Abernathy. I was able to be admitted at the end of the conference on Thursday the 27th and copy and paste the chat file. And I attended both the Friday and Saturday web conferences. I find that they are helpful because there are others who have the same questions as I do and usually I can just listen and read the chat to have my questions answered. I am glad the digital story can only be 2 minutes long. I also found that students mentioned websites they found very helpful in completing this assignment and the ones coming up. (diigo.com, osalt.com and camstudio.com) Some of us figured out that we could chat privately during the conference, so we were able to set up our group for the PSA in the later weeks.
I have to admit that I was surprised by students in other cohorts that appeared to have not done anything for this week’s work. It seemed that they had not even looked at the Epic site or read the assignment! Yikes! If this is the case, it may be helpful for Dr. A to just state the basics of the assignment up front with any announcements, and then ask for questions. Maybe reminding people that they can chat privately would keep the chat box from having multiple conversations going.
The audio and video is going well for the conferences. And I appreciate Dr. Abernathy taking the time to do these conferences. I find the conferences very helpful to me for answering questions and gauging my progress in the class.
