Podcasting Course Feedback...

Katherine Mack, Australia:
Two weeks ago I barely knew what a podcast was and had absolutely no idea how to create one. Now I have the knowledge to create basic podcasts and am interested in developing these skills further. I can't wait to get into a staff development session to share my new found knowledge with the rest of our staff and into the classroom to 'experiment' with the students!

Noelia Romina Ianni, Spain:
I went from knowing nothing about podcasting, to feeling confident and full of ideas to share with other teachers and improve our classes... I came to [the course] through a recommendation (and not feeling really sure it was worth it) and I would definitely recommend it to other people. I actually had fun doing it!

Niki Joseph, Portugal:
I already have [recommended this course others]! Because it adds another dimension to the learning process. As with all your previous courses, what really stands out is the total organisation/professionalism.

 Jo Timerick, UK:
Very clearly and logically organised.  Good and useful content throughout. I think this has been a lovely course to do, and enjoyed the fact that everyone was so friendly from the off.  THANKS EVERYONE!

 Fatimah Al-Ghamdi, Saudi Arabia:
It was very neatly structured and organised and easy to follow. The content was gradually introduced from easy to difficult. There was evident interaction with colleagues and they were all fantastic.
The tutor was patient, very helpful and extremely encouraging.

 Barbara Gardner, UK:
Super because it was well staged. I liked the tutorials (my learning style!) and the tips e.g. caring for your computer.[The tutor] was encouraging and extremely clear in her instructions.

 Ludmila Kovalenko, Russia:
It was well structured and logical. Material is given from simple points to more complicated ones. We were learning doing and experimenting. Our tutor was always ready to help. We got immediate feedback.

Wiki Course Feedback...

Lindsey Haas, Germany:
Very friendly and everyone seemed to be contributing and leaving comments and raising matters with the others participants. [...] We learned a lot, got introduced to many new ideas which we can now mull over and try out. I definitely feel more confident.

Janet Bianchini, Italy:
The structure was excellent and the organisation of the course content was very well thought-out [...] I learned a lot in a short space of time and it has given me the confidence to implement some projects for the future as a direct result of the course.

Tanya Landreth, Australia:
It was great. Flowed well together. [...] Good consistent feedback.

 Niki Joseph, Portugal:
Great group - really nice. In fact one of the reasons I did the Wiki course was as the Podcasting one had had such a great atmosphere. [The tutor] really knows her stuff - loads of extra links  - great.

 Judy Wickham, Spain:
Really good. Task based format with clear instructions. I like the action plan at the end because you leave with something specific.

 Jacqui Hall, UK:
The course was clearly set out and well structured.  The course was pitched well and in my view was just at the right level. I certainly know a lot more about wikis now than when I started and have an overview of a range of wiki functions and the range of wiki software that is available.

 Areej Monaquel, Saudi Arabia:
Great. Very organized and informative. [Tutors]are very supportive. Very inspiring - I started my [own] wiki!

Blogs Course Feedback...

Janet Bianchini, Italy:
The course has definitely proved to be a worthwhile learning experience and I feel I have made considerable progress during the past 10 days. I came to the course not knowing much about blogs and I have now created a blog which I feel very proud of. It has been a real inspiration for me.

Christel Schneider, Germany:
Well structured, well organised, content appropriate.Great interaction. A nice encouraging touch that made it easy to ask for support without feeling stupid. It was a great course and a great tutor.

Diana Martincich, Australia:
I thought it was well structured [...] The idea of setting up a blog was rather an intimidating one, but it is rather quite simple and the course guided me easily step by step. [The tutor] was a great e-consultant and made herself available.

Eleni Nikiforou, Cyprus:
I liked the structure and organisation of the course. As always I was satisfied with the work you do here :) The interaction was nice and other colleagues were willing to answer questions and work collaboratively to complete the tasks.The instructor was great. She provided guidance throughout the course and feedback and support when needed. Many thanks!

Ghadah Alkaud, Saudi Arabia:
Very Good. Very good ideas for interaction with colleagues. I am ready to start my own blog!

eNetworks feedback...

Jahel Flores, Spain:
This course has opened a big window of possibilities for me and widened my imagination and the concepts I had either from online training, student or professional [...] Congratulations for all the good work!

Lisa Ritchie, Germany: I'm currently in the process of setting up a one-off online event, as well as a series of training events. Simply being a participant of this course gave me many tips that I've put to use in my own events. And they were tips that I just came to mind while participating, rather than having someone telling me about them, which is great. By preparing for the synchronous sessions in advance, it was possible to participate more effectively and the online sessions themselves were great in terms of sharing and developing knowledge to create a common understanding. I found the collaborative nature of the course very positive.

Olga Potekhina, Russia
It was perfect as usual. I felt support and got help every moment I needed. You demonstrated that you choose people who are skillful in moderating, scaffolding and supporting people.Thank you very much. You are a great international TEAM!

Gill Sessions, United Kingdom
The structure and organisation of the course content was very good.  I felt that it followed a logical sequence. I found this course "mind blowing"!  It has opened up a whole new world to me, which I didn't know existed.  Last week I didn't even know what a wiki was!  It has been a positive and worthwhile learning experience.

Teresa Thiel, Australia
Well-structured; concepts built effectively [...] Very worthwhile and I learned a lot. I also have a better understanding of CoPs [Communities of Practice]. I had read quite a lot beforehand but understand the concepts in practice thanks to this course.

Marina Prolygina, Russia
The organisation is brilliant, the structure is clear. Interaction was very productive and I think rather helpful in launching our Krasnoyarsk Online initiative. [The tutor] is excellent in her role!  So supportive... brilliant in summarising... thank you very much!

Second Life Course Feedback...

Susanne Winchester, UK:
[Would you recommend this course to others?]:
Yes, most certainly, because of it's clear structure, length and most of all because of the knowledgeable and ever so patient tutor!! Thanks. A great course, I have learnt a lot and met great people!

Sharon Whittaker, UK:
I’d like to say that this course was exactly what I wanted. Although I’m still bumbling around in SL, I feel I am doing it with a confidence that I wouldn’t have had without this course. I’m sure I’ll continue to explore whereas I think I would have given up had I been on my own. In fact, I always had the idea that I would wait til I had the time to do this course before getting into SL on my own.

 Nicola Bennett, UK:
In 2 weeks I probably learnt more about SL then I would have done on my own in 2 months. This has been a really good learning experience for me and has given me the confidence to go on and explore further and hopefully use this environment in my future work.

 Gillian McCalden, UK:
[The tutor] was great! Clear, knowledgeable, funny, lovely to listen to and quick to respond to online questions. I started knowing nothing about Second Life and left with a good understanding of what's possible and where to find out more. It was quite a journey! A perfect introduction to Second Life.

 Susana de Almeida, Portugal:
The course was very well organized, having each section and activity well planned and explained. The moderator could always deal with difficulties, so it was well-balanced. [The moderator was] willing to help, providing extra information, the notes on the sessions were clearly explained and organized.

 Tym King, Spain:
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt a lot. I really hope I get to keep on learning and use the stuff!
