Thing 23: Is this really the end? Or just the beginning ...

What were your favorite discoveries or exercises on this learning journey?

I liked flickr and the image generators. Those were a lot of fun.

How has this program assisted or affected your lifelong learning goals?

I had lifelong learning goals before the program, so it really just fit in with my own ideals.

Were there any take-aways or unexpected outcomes from this program that surprised you?

Not really.

What could we do differently to improve upon this program’s format or concept?

I would say to post the "things" all at once, so we can do them as we please, and not have to wait to do the next thing. I actually completely forgot about the program because I had to keep waiting.

If we offered another discovery program like this in the future, would you again chose to participate?

Sure. It was interesting in it's own way, if a bit behind the times.

Thing 22: Audiobooks (or "The end is near")

I think that the downloadable audio books are a great idea, but copy protection stuff makes it a real pain in the ---. I don't know why people can't just get along. Don't steal stuff it makes it all a big pain for all of us honest people. I've used the netLibrary before, and in general it's pretty good. It would be nice to not have to jump through hoops to listen to something...
