Dan Butcher writes:I sometimes think the only goal I have right now is survival -- making it through the work of my first online course. But part of me is already looking forward to the fall semester when I get to do it all over again (and do it better). In terms of my teaching, I want to refine what I do online and to develop better, and more interactive, materials for my students. Beyond my classes, a major goal is to participate more fully in online communities like ACW. I see myself primarily as a learner there, and I'm looking forward to the time when I can contribute to discussions of practice and theory with my own experiences and successes.
