I just posted this message as a comment but since I think it’s kind of lost there and hard to find I’m posting it here. I would like to think the organization of this course through because I do not really know what is going to happen with the pace etc.<\/p>\n
“I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d prefer to keep up the pace but wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mind too much if we would slow down because there are people who want to give the texts and exercises more time. I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have a lot of time myself but I like the speed in exercising; we could come back to earlier exercises later on or after the course. One method for me to save some time though is to skip the posts that are too long for me to read. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m interested in doing the exercises and commenting on them with some quick notes so that it is more like talking to each other. I think this was originally meant to be this way; notes for the diary in your diary, notes for communication on the internet. Besides I feel that not taking up too much space (at least in the beginnnig of this course) in the posts is also helping better to form a community of inquiry. To do this I think it also would be helpful if Jack had a separate space in the posting area so that he is able to comment on posts and connect them at the same time; more like what a teacher can do in the non-virtual classroom. I think it would be more fruitful this way, save reading-time as well and would be more inviting to other people to write a post or comment.<\/p>\n
In short; let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s keep up the pace, install a preferred maximum length for posts and comments and have Jack in a place that we can all immediately notice what he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s doing and use this as a guideline to other posts and comments. But mainly let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s adapt this community of inquiry to the preferences of the participants.<\/p>\n
