Perhaps the biggest change from my previous distance ed.study is the expectation that you will contribute to on-line forums. This is a significant addition to the time required and has meant further learning about the operation of the forums regarding replies. I have participated in on-line forums before but they did not use the check-box tag system for following up comments.
The other problem is that the two different courses had the forums set up slightly differently. One has the topic sub-forums on the subject home page as well as the forums listing page. The other relies on the students knowing how to find the forums page. It is a relief to find that others have also found navigating these hurdles a problem. Both the lecturers and other experienced and knowledgeable students have kindly provided directions.
