Anderson deliberates the same thing that has puzzled me for a long time: how to get students active in the online side of blended learning. He also presents a term new to me: ESS (educational social software).Recently I have wondered, where the “recess” is in more traditional LMS-based learning? It usually does not exist. Students are motivated to come to lectures or to the campus – or feel pleasure in coming – because they also meet their peers, their friends. This issue is often ignored in online learning design.

At a psychological level, one must have a certain degree of trust building in one’s background. Relating self to community or putting one’s ideas and interests out to the world through a social network is an example of modern hero or heroine. I really like the “ongoing conceptualization” of AU and the openness to possibilities with certain compartments of interest online both in regular courses and within the social programs that are evolving.

We spoke together once when I was first considering entering the GDDET, and I have now one course left after this one. I think it takes a lot of ego-free state attributes such as self awareness, and balanced development and a relatively attachment to the other -- out there -- to speak or text to the collective or to the "relatively unknown colleague". At a psychological level, one must have a certain degree of trust building in one's background. Relating self to community or putting one's ideas and interests out to the world through a social network is an example of modern hero or heroine.
