Two in a row from Kamloops..this could be contagious! I think the cold has driven us indoors and to our computers!
Why this course? - just today several of us were talking/speculating about what really goes on in our courses, and we developed the analogy of packing a canoe with good stuff and pushing it out to sea with blind faith that students are doing what we expect...and further that they find it helpful and useful--once they get to the other side (assuming they do).
What a huge assumption when you think about it. We do a lot of our learning about our courses and learners waaaayyyy after the fact -- i.e. when it's time for revisions and maintenance. So this course will be a success for me if we can share ideas and learn more about this. And of course - the real success is in the networking opportunity!

Hi Irwin,
Good to get the chance to connect again. And your right learning analytics needs to be not only about gathering a whole lot of information, but also acting on it in a timely manner!
Look forward to chatting more as we continue!

Seems the more international the course the greater the chance of bumping into my Kamloops neighbours online!
For sure! The lake must be beautiful at this time of year.
Tanya, great to hear from you! Nice work on the paper.
