These Web 2.0 exercises have been a big learning curve for me, even though I was in some ways already familiar with some web 2.0 aspects (e.g. Facebook and Youtube).
My favourite discoveries have been: seeing how many of these online tools operate together (e.g. being able to post a blog from flickr); realizing how easy all of this online stuff is if you try; Bloglines and Lastfm; and understanding that you can be truly portable now and that even word processing is no longer tied to a specific computer in a fixed location.
The best thing for about this course is that it has got me looking at this web 2.0 stuff which I had always wanted to do but had never got around to it. I am pleased I made the effort now. Note - without the prize incentive I may not have ever finished - sad but true!
I think the course as it was was excellent in terms of its format and content. For me it was pitched at the right level. As an introductory course I wouldn't change it. The only thing I suggest is clarifying at the outset what the purpose of having the blog is (i.e. Is it there purely to document our answers to the excerises? Do we have to strictly answer every question?) and how much work time can be spent on it.
I would definitely be happy do another programme like this in the future. It was FUN! Thank you!
PS - finished with 30 minutes to spare!!!
