Exercise 6.1 Design rules and your CSU forum experience
image downloaded from: http://www.jeffandcompany.com/ethnography/bc2.htmlPurpose to connect to like minded people, we all have the same goal and there has been plenty of times when I was unsure of what a particular task was asking from me. without the ability to ask from my peers what was aim of a particular topic I would have floundered. Even if you don't participate and are only a lurker you can read others ideas and postings and get some direction. without the forums you would never know of any releveant changes to assignment due dates or any additional information or corrections.
People once again it is the like mindedness that keeps the forum engaging. There is no such thing as a "dumb" question. Everyone wants to help, perhaps it is because you can't physically see the other party that you can't develop any preconceived ideas as to who they are! They are just a name. I personally don't feel others are holding back comments or steering others in the wrong direction, perhaps it is the very nature of the course and the maturity of the participants.
Community size it is not that large that you have to wait for ever to get some response to postings. The pod groups are small and the GREEN GROUP is fantastic!!! So supportive they want everyone to succeed. The more experienced online users help and support those of us who find this technology daunting. I feel that I have joined a great group and will miss our weekly correspondences, but we are all evolving and need to move on to new challenges.
