Online learning

I haven't had much experience with online learning. I completed my first online course last semester. It was an asynchronous elementary education course that really focused on individual learning rather than building a community of learners. We basically had to read each chapter of the text and then react in the discussion area of D2L or in the drop box. Feedback from the professor was rare. The only other assessments were a couple of final projects related to text readings and the scope of the course. I learned things, but I think it could have been much more valuable had we interacted with each and with the instructor in a more regular and regulated way. I'm excited about this course based on our first synchronous meeting.
