Synchronous communication tools

It was relatively easy for me to set up wimba based on the information in tool kit. I was able to set up connect with the instructor and fellow learners in the live chat. In formation is clear instructions makes setting up easy to do. In my interaction with moodle I faced some frustration in setting my course unlike vista the information guide (cue)is not as easy to understand and so in inputting information sometimes I was not able to retrieve.

Setting up the assessment was the most challenging part of setting up the course. I was not able to view a lot of the information that I had inputted and so in my determination to be successful I did it over and over and over.

The tool kit information, members of the learning community were quick to offer help and the tools in Moodle that worked well for me include. I wish I had done this course while college was still in session to get the students to experiment or pilot the course that I am writing. However, I will be asking students to use this medium next semester.

The surprise is the ease at which the instructor can work after setting up the course. Also I realize that setting up a course is not as difficult as I thought it would be but then I had help, all the persons especially the instructor of this course. I love this course and am anxious to implement these tools in my class.
