    Congrats Heather - a nice addition to student community indeed! I love podcasts and hope AU (officially) begins exploring how these can enrich the distance learning experience.

    I agree with both Leslie and Eric on the Landing's role in my learning process here at AU and hopefully beyond. I think it would be even more useful if it were required or somehow promoted in the various courses - even a link on our course Moodle...

      I find the Moodle discussions to be focused on the class content so I rarely return to those discussions. What I'm interested in from the Landing is discussions that extend beyond a course or a single cohort. Very much more an ongoing relationship both as a student and in the future as Alumni.

      I agree with both Leslie and Eric on the Landing's role in my learning process here at AU and hopefully beyond. I think it would be even more useful if it were required or somehow promoted in the various courses - even a link on our course Moodle page would make it more user friendly. It seems like not that many students are using it and that it would be even more relevant if it were something all or most students felt they had the time or capacity to use.

      Also, because I get "scolded" and down-rated at monthly assessment time, if I do not use it. People who do not use it are somehow viewed as "persons with developmental disabilities." That's interesting because we have 3 "persons with developmental disabilities" who frequently use it.
