Session Four - Response to Qing's paper

One of the things that I enjoy in taking a course such as this is that it certainly makes me think. I was working along and thinking about how I would develop an online course, especially given all the neat social networking tools I have run across.

So, I started by figuring out how can one put these into a course and how students would react or not react to them and how would they use them. You may have figured out where I am going with this one. I was using only my experience which gives me a certain view of the world. I don't think of myself as overly biased but sometimes the tweaks that bring things up to a conscious level are certainly helpful in looking at how one can develop communication and how it is used.

Well, I have to now change what kind of lenses I have been using as I had not given any thought to how different genders respond emotionally and physically to what Qing refers to as Computer mediated Communication. So, one more dynamic to throw into the mix.
