This week for the group work, the experience was very positive. Our group got in gear early on and showed a great deal of team work which was a marked improvement from the first assignment. I think we all found and agreed upon the facts that in the case study of Georgina's online course that she made several key mistakes. In our work on discussing the questions and what we thought about the situations we all agreed on a few key points. Georgina is a good instructor who knows her material. Georgina however should not try and create a website for the course as she is better suited to instructing. Her lack of knowledge in how to create a website caused many issues with the class and ultimately ruined what could have been a very interesting subject matter.
I think our group knows what a good example of a course is and that no course is perfect. For that reason, I think it is imperative that instructors be open to constructive criticism. Online courses have come a long way in the last 10 years and they will continue to evolve just as technology allows us to do more and more.
The key points to this whole case study are that you have to communicate in a clear and effective manner and also be open to your peers. In this case study Georgina let things progress so far that she got in over her head creating a class that neither the instructor or the students benefited from.
