In this module, the concept of creating an online community was discussed repeatibly. As a student using online courses, I have never felt the neccessity of participating in an online community where we share personal information. I am not thinking that it is a wrong concept, just that I have never experienced the need. It was suggested that students should provide a introduction that should include:
- Their name
- Their current job and/or company
- A brief history of work experience
- A brief list of interesting experiences
- What they would like to learn in this course
Another suggestion was to create a separate area for socialization. Again, interesting concept, just one I have not experienced (as a student) in my online courses.
