That brings me to my first question for Alex: Was our reaction typical? In other words, do students normally begin the course feeling the way we were feeling?

Were the VoiceThread introductions and the “opening” of the course two weeks prior to the actual start date a means for getting some specific information about who we would be as your students? Also, did you use this information to make any alterations to the course?

  Opening the course 2 weeks before is a good practice on a number of fronts... one it gives the early birds something to do, it helps students work through technical difficulties prior to the start of the course, it helps students decide if the course is for them AND it gives me some preliminary view of the students who may be part of the class community that term. It also really helps me prep by knowing what the background is of the students, what their expectations are, and what their disciplines are. I can begin to collect and tag resources based on the interests, expectations, and disciplines of the students.
