#23 Week 9:


Summarize your thoughts about this program.

At last just about finished! Just this and the end of unit survey to complete and I can get stuck into something else.

First I must say I'm not a librarian' however I did take a few classes when working on my degree in educational media, some 35 or so years ago. I concentrated on the media production and AV side of the library media specialist training. But over the years the little bit of library classes has helped in my research.

I found this program to be exciting and well worth the effort I put into it.

In addition I can see that a lot of time and effort, on the part of the people that put it all together was well worth the time I spent doing it.
I'm envious of those of you who put it together, you had the wonderful tools to do it with the blog, Wiki and all the other tools used to assemble this gem.

When I started on my studies in online education I was limited to working with Golfer, bulletin board's, and email to do all the things you can do now with such ease. When the web browser cane along I thought I had died and went to heaven.
Well I think I have said enough about how great you efforts have been an pass on some of the things need to be looked into.

When I started I ran into a number of glitches that may be due to the browser I'm using. It may be worth a note; if you are using version 8 of Internet Explorer you may have problems with cookies not being excepted from some of the sites and you may need to adjust the settings on your browser to allow for the acceptance of cookies. See Week 5 for what to do about it.

There are also a number of dead links in the week 9 things. Not sure if it is the code or if the sites have moved or been taken down.

Some of the things need just a little more how to do it. Perhaps a help file Or Q &A to help out the people that lack experience working with some of the tools.

I found the blog layout would get a bit boring. It works well for people that have not done any web development and there is nothing wrong with the WYSIWYG. It certainly makes it easer for people to get their ideas into print so to speak. I found some simple HTML tags that work well in the blog, perhaps a thing on using some HTML to dress up the blog would be worth addinga, “If you want to experiment with HTML”, to the things.

And to bring things to the end I must say CONGRATULATIONS to the teem that developed this package I know a lot of hard work went into it.

I looked over the questionnaire but didn't fill it out as I didn't fit into the target group. An old classmate from my college days suggested I try it on for size that I would like it. Well she was right I did like it and hope I can contribute to in in some way. To sum it up in one word FANTASTIC
