It's been nearly two months since I've last published here, dear reader (continuing in the "confession" theme of this blog). Needless to say I've been quite busy. On October 1st I officially started my new position of IT Consultant with the World Campus and almost immediately saw my workload intensify. Lots of exciting things, though. In addition to working on technology projects related to our courses, something I had been involved with to some degree for some time, my work now includes the training and teaching of new and current staff on our systems and processes, as well as improving some of those systems, like Quickbase, our project management system (another confession: I'm a project management geek).
I've also been continuing with my classwork. Working on a team paper right now which is no easy task. Luckily, I was able to introduce Google Docs to my teammates and they've taken to it quite well. Working on a shared document online has significantly reduced the time and stress of passing a document around for edits. I've shared this information with the course instructional designer, and she plans to introduce it (Google Docs) program-wide next semester as part of the "tool kit" for students to consider. I also have an individual final paper due in less than two weeks!
