D2L versus Web 2.0

I know it's early but i like the D2L discussion board better. More compact. It's all right there. I "hear" everyone. With three classes, I don't think I can work through everyone's blog. Many seperate conversations not a whole clas discussion. I don't know if that is better or worse. Still learning.

  1. I agree. While using the D2L discussion board in earlier classes I was able to be a part of all of the conversations. I was easily able to form relationships with my classmates. Perhaps I am not yet using the tools well but I am finding the blogs and Twitter posts to be a bit clunky and cumbersome. I guess that's why I'm taking this class - so that I can become more comfortable with new technologies. As a novice I need advice and help with some of these things but I don't really feel like there is a center place where these kinds of questions can be asked and then answered on a timely basis.

    I will stick it out but right now I am very frustrated. I can't move forward until I can figure out the basics.

  2. I absolutely agree with you. I use D2L for most of my online classes. The only reason why I don't use it for this one is because it would be "one more place" for people to go...and you already have enough on your plate!

    Don't feel like you have to read every single blog. Rotate through them instead.
