"Christine, yes it is good to remind students of all of their other commitments. It definitely makes setting up a schedule challenging! I could see a system like Clint's got being useful to give a general plan, but that students will…"
Christine Munro replied to Claire Thompson's discussion Creating Timelines for DL students in the group Distributed Learning Educators
"Being a continuous entry, self paced, individualized program is what makes it work for me as well. I have gone to using a calendar that includes all the activities students are in as "school" is not the only thing they need to account for.…"

Christine Munro replied to Claire Thompson's discussion Creating Timelines for DL students in the group Distributed Learning Educators

Claire Thompson commented on Tamara Malloff's group EPortfolios
"I haven't delved into using e-portfolios with my students yet, but I like Tamara's idea of having a personalized learning conversation at the beginning of the year to guide our students' learning."

The last I recall Linda said this wasn't possible for her because of timezone restrictions, but that was a while ago. Also, would you like some help with advertising the event? I have some ideas about where to place 'ads'.
