A New Look at Old Goals

Below are the goal(s) that I set for myself at the beginning of the semester. My main goal, as seen below, was to discover faster ways to deliver course content online. In my mind, I think I covered this pretty well. I'll be blunt when I say that my goals change in my brain more often than they do on paper. However, in this case, I came back to my original goal...full circle if you will. I have proposed to have some of our overview training for my customer (not central training) put online. My boss and I agree that this is a good idea. However, it will not be until we actually get into the "meaty" courses that we will be able to experiment with this wiki thing. Whether it works here or not is the next question. Working here is a little different. We have a whole different subspecies of conehead.

I believe focusing solely on the wiki provided an opportunity for me to go more in depth with that program. The wiki, or other web building program, will provide the foundation for the overall course site. Other Web 2.0 applications can feed off of the wiki in my proposal. It would be harder to build a course based solely on a blog or photo sharing site.

I'll leave it up to the rest of you to decide.

Hello Dr. Brady,

I understand that you would like to see our goals from the course. Mine are simple. I want to see the methods out there for delivering content over the web. Mainly, I want to know how to do it faster. I have a fairly strong history with internet use and web-site development, but that's where it ends. Right now, my job uses pretty archaic methods of course deliver (face-to-face). This works very well with many people, but with the professionally diverse audiences, scheduling is taking up seemingly as much time as the course development itself.
