What was the most meaningful and useful for you...

"It was a great first experience with online learning!  I would, I have, and I will, recommend the course to colleagues with whom I work, and I would consider another online course without hesitation. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!" 
~ Middle School Librarian, Los Angeles, California 

"Dennis was a patient facilitator who cares about his students. This class has been an eye-opening growing experience and a foundation for teaching online classes."
~ Corporate Trainer, Franchise Restaurant Co. Green Bay

"I liked the interaction with my classmates from all over the world. What a great experience. That is something from online learning that I did not expect. I had taken other classes online before, but that all involved people from Wisconsin. Some great ideas, information, and perspectives were shared."
~ Technology Coordinator, Pittsville, Wisconsin

"Dennis modeled for us how to engage learners early on in the course and then carefully layered in group discussion and activities.  He knew when to have us go solo – it came at just the right time." 
~ Technical College Instructor, La Crescent, Minnesota

"If not for this course, I would never have tried Moodle, blog, wiki, or the survey/quiz and online test programs. Having teammates to work with on assignments made it a lot less threatening."
~ Library Media Specialist, Syracuse, New York

"Prior to beginning the class, one of my most strongly held notions was that the interaction and level of engagement in an online course environment could not come close to the experience one has in a face to face class. While I don't know that I am ready to fully embrace the concept that one should be able to earn a high school diploma or a Bachelor's degree completely online,  I certainly believe there is tremendous value, rigor, and powerful sense of community that can be developed in a thoughtfully constructed course with a skilled teacher shepherding the process. "
~ Middle School Librarian, Los Angeles, California 

"I enjoyed the instructor(s) and their focus on organization and professionalism."
~ Instructor at Waukesha County Technical College, Pewaukee, Wisconsin

"The class overall structure helped us build on prior knowledge while developing increasingly sophisticated skills and an understanding of the pedagogical underpinnings of each new technology tool."
~ High School Library Media Specialist, New York, City

"The most useful information was on building community, collaboration projects, website evaluation, wikis, and accessibility. I enjoyed creating the e-portfolio because it helped spur me on to create my own web page for my class which has been sitting on the back burner for some time."
~ Kindergarten Teacher, Ramstein, Germany

"The instructors have expertise and experience in necessary technology and offer encouraging help when needed. This is a good course where you learn by doing. Using the Moodle program was very helpful, as well as becoming familiar with the survey and quiz programs and other course management systems."
~ Middle School Librarian, Bechtelsville, Pennsylvania

"A good class for those inexperienced with online learning."
~ Elementary-Middle School Librarian, Guam
