I just finished my first virtual lecture ever. This course rocks! The connection through Adobe Connect worked smoothly although I kinda missed having the actual faces of the people available. We were 11 participants in total and I would have liked to see who’s who. Best of all would be if everyone had the video connection but c’mon, at least let me see who’s who in the class? As it is a distance course I would aim to make the course as personalized and engaging as possible. But that’s just me. I actually expected to see the teacher talking via video but there was only audio. No picture. Only traditional powerpoint presentation. Ok, it did work out quite well though and I am now in a risen state of knowledge acquirement.

We have one more virtual lesson to come in October and other than that it’s all about using the collaboration tool “Fronter”. It’s basically the University collaboration platform for submitting papers, taking part of course material and interacting with fellow classmates.

I hope that future courses will be like fully blown Google Hangouts. Or maybe they are already, just that I don’t have the experience yet.

Now gotta go find myself some members and build a study group for the assignments.
