13.8 :-? Cheryl to Thomas' intro


13.8.8 :-? Lisa

I would have to disagree with your statement of "help is just a click away". This was not true for me with our first graded assignment. It took almost a week for me to get an answer as to why my grade was not posted in my assignment folder. I sent emails to everyone I could (Christine, group members, and Thomas). Finally, after some anxiety ridden days, Thomas informed me by email my essay had not be read or graded. If Thomas was an instructor for a traditional course, I control the situation by seeing him in person at the end of class as soon as I knew others had received their grade. With online learning, I could not control when Thomas accessed his email or anyone else for that matter. This experience caused doubts about online learning to arise; which I'm still working on as we near the end of this course.
