Multilitteratus Incognitus

Response to a colleague on sister campus, via our campus technology Google Group -- check out Carrie's original post here : Carrie, I was debating whether to leave a comment on your blog (as well as post on the Google group) or whether to post on my blog and the Google Group. Since this seemed like a rather lengthy topic I opted to post on my EdBlog :-) Speaking of Blackboard...all I can say about that LMS is "bleh". We use WebCT Vista (aka Blackboard Vista) on our campus. I'm sure that the ePortfolio trial we had at our campus was because we couldn't wait for WebCT to implement something in their LMS products.

In my Sociolinguistics course we are a couple of weeks behind discussing the work we've handed in, so no additional work was assigned for spring break, and my other instructional design classes have given us some time off. I am tempted to contact my communications theory instructor to see what the topic of the paper is so I can get a leg up during spring break and get that started. Finally, I also finished the rough draft of my Communities of Practice article that I want to submit for publicati...

I think humor will get me through this semester :-) Does this reflect your grad school experiences?
