Group Interactions with Voice & Video Comments & the Doodle Tool
“I can say that all of my other online classes, I remember maybe one name from the class and
that is because I knew them in real life. I feel like I ‘know’ most of my classes [in this class] because of
the activities assigned.”
“Listening gave me a better understanding of the material. In the showcase assignments, you could
actually hear the passion in the speakers’ voices…”
“…having to say the words helped me understand what I was talking about better than if I had just
been writing it down.”
“…it made me re-evaluate my answers. Mostly because I didn't want to sound like I had no idea
what I was talking about. Plus when you write something down there is not much emotion to it
and being able to speak out loud my ideas made me feel like I could connect and explain the
material better.”
“I feel that taking this class and having been required to push
myself to leave voice comments has helped me learn that I am
capable of overcoming my fears of embarrassment.”
