Course Reflection
I took this course in the Winter term of 2010 mainly because I wanted to determine if Instructional Technology was the secondary concentration which I wanted to choose.  In this short course, I learned about different software packages for presenting and participating in webinars.  Through comparison of several available programs, I was able to determine which features were necessary and which were not needed, or even distracting.  Each student also presented a webinar to the class.  This gave me the opportunity to see how others used software features effectively and to think about what features could have improved their presentations.  It was a worthwhile course for me.
