This is my second/third online class. I am currently taking two online class (with International Publishing being the other class). I will admit that this class seemed a little overwhelming at first. Last week I started in a new department at work as well as four new classes so my brain was full of new information.
As for this class I really like the layout of the WetPaint site. I like that the information is broken up into weeks and filed in a list. It allows me to easily see what I need to do for that week.
During the past week I started a bunch of activities that I haven't done before, just as set up a Diigo account. Additionally I haven't used a blog recently. I RSS-feed a bunch of blogs that relate to my interests but I haven't personally written one since my undergrad years. During that time I blogged on MySpace, but now I only use Facebook and I don't like their blog feature. It will be interesting to use one again.
I did have a few difficulties in setting up iTunes subscription to the podcasts. I use iTunes frequently but have rarely used the podcast feature. It took me two or three tries in order to subscribe to the correct page so that the podcast would download. I tried listening to the podcast directly from the site but also had difficulties. For whatever reason, the podcast would stop after a few minutes and would start from the beginning. It would not allow me to try to find where I left off and I would have to begin again. It was rather frustrating when it happened again. However, now that I have the kinks from the iTunes subscription ironed out I have had no problems.
Although I am not a SLMS student I'm really looking forward to this class. The technology and information that we are going to be learning and using will be great experience for my future.
