• As a sidenote, sort of, the thought came to me sometime this week that I am really liking how eCompanion has accentuated my on-campus classroom(s). I think more classrooms will head in that direction – meet with instructor in a physical classroom, but have many, many online materials to use in or out of class(time)/class(room). I love that I have my various videos up there (from YouTube & the College Writer CD), and that they’ll be there every semester now. And, I think I even want to add more to eCompanion… like quotes at every week/unit. More categories (in Doc Sharing and the Webliography) so students can easily find more items like handouts and web sites. More tabs that talk about the writing process, tips, etc.

  I’ve already made notes on what to change for the spring. Some students are finding it easy to “cheat” in the Class Blogs by reading what others have and then just, well, summarizing what’s already been summarized. So, that just means, for me, to use the Journal function so they can’t see what others have written. Voila!
