Lost in the Dark Recesses of the Cyber Universe

When I initially signed up for this course I thought that there would be some in-class instruction. What I discovered is that the instruction would be mostly myself trying to figure out what to do. There is a steep curve when learning these online tools, far more time and effort than I was expecting. If a person had a working knowledge of the tools, then they could spend their time more efficiently and use to to actually design their classes. I spent so much time just trying to navigate and figure out how to use the tool that I didn't put a lot of effort into how it could actually help me. And then when I thought I had if figured out, I was thwarted because I didn't know how to download a file or create a link. Frustrating.
