Hello:
I think the hybrid approach is truly the way to proceed with the adult learner. Social networking is simply not a part of the mainstream adult population at this time. Perhaps so, who knows? I found myself struggling to interpret some of the information as I am one of those mainstream adults myself.The course was incredibly informative and gave me a solid background which was sorely needed. Although I have been teaching on line for 10 years, I still feel my own inadequacy with tweeting, tweaking and twittering. The one thing this course did do for me is give me some great ideas for the future. Currently, at AIUONLINE, we have a Discussion Board that does not lend itself to social networking,. I am sure that the future will require us to move in a more dynamic direction than simply having students post to a topic and the instructor reply but not necessarily to all students. I am graeteful for the opportunity to find out how much I do not know! (0:
