Completion of Course

Finally at the end of this. Have had to catch-up my posts today as most of this course was done after hours and didn't have my blog sign-in.

I also used this course for my TAFE students who are studing towards their library technicians course. I gave them a long list of resources, including this course and they unanimously decided that this was definitely the best resource of the lot. They loved it because it was in plain English! and didn't require a knowledge of IT terminology.

I set their final assignment around choosing two Web 2.0 technologies and how they could use them in a library situation. They blitzed the assignment and all got top marks. They have some fantastic ideas for using the technologies and accurately identified (and in most cases found a solution for) and problems.

Thank you for running this course. I would (and have) thorouhly recommend it.

I only wish that our own staff had enough time to spend completing the course as many of the other libraries seem to have. For the uninitiated it took a lot longer than 15 minutes a session. Many of our staff do not have a lot of time off desk - maybe the fault is our rosters -not the course. We will have to find more time for staff to use these technologies.
