I need access to online courses

Posted by cmcraft | Comments: (3)

Category : Grad School

I’m taking a summer graduate course in pursuit of my Master’s in Ed Tech and it’s all about distance education. To that end, I am looking for courses using one of these platforms…

  • WebCT (preferred only because I’ve never used it)
  • Sakai (preferred for same reason)
  • Blackboard (ick)
  • Moodle (yay!)
  • DrupalEd (is there anyone out there employing this with students, yet?)

So, got a course me and a couple classmates can access and evaluate? The evaluations will be posted on our wiki, which is really only for folks in the class, but it’s on pbwiki so it can be seen publically.

Let me know! Feel free to use the contact form to email me personally to avoid posting any info publically.

You could contact Chris Smith in RHSD3–he does one with WebCT
Also, many of the Educ Admin courses at USC (that’s South Carolina) are done through Blackboard and Macromedia Breeze. Just call over to the office and find a professor who will hook you up with a student.
