Final Comments

This section consisted of one open-ended text box in which respondents could type additional comments. These are summarized in the following two subsections.

Areas for Improvement

• I would have liked more time to work.
• One time covering copyright would have been adequate rather than over 3 days.
• I think a bit too much time was spent on "selling" the online and the hybrid model.
• The task at hand did not lend itself (development of online course) to the format of the workshop.
• It seemed (presenter A) blew everyone away. A plethora of presenters and two highly paid staff surfing us through the web were a bit much. It's good, I think, to be exposed to a high-end course. But most faculty will be more like (presenter B): all on their own, using their own skills. I'd have like to see more like (presenter B).
• I was hoping to see more of the faculty wanted to actually develop a completely online course rather than wanting to add tech tools to their existing courses.
• I think six days would have been adequate. It was a good blend of instruction, small groups, and work time but could have moved at a faster pace and been condensed into a shorter time frame.
• I recommend that people enrolled in this class have more of a background in Dreamweaver or similar program than I did.

Items that Worked Well

• I enjoyed the interaction with other colleagues and ITSS staff.
• I thought the two weeks were very well spent, with a nice number of guest speakers, a good balance between learning and practice, learning time and work time. I appreciated the humor and camaraderie, both from ITSS and from participants. I think it was good to practice all the "community building" activities that we all said were so important.
