* What do you think/feel about this collaborative learning environment?
I don’t mind collaborative learning environments, but I see many glitches in the wikispace design. I think it is an advantage for those who used it in other courses, and a disadvantage for those who were not, like me. The wikispace in general is a new form of communication on the Internet, I am personally not used to yet.

* What are your expectations for yourself?
I’m trying my best, but I am disappointed because usually I’m way more active when it comes to online participation. I’m not giving up though, thanks Michael for your email it really helped to boost my level of confidence.

* If you have previously used wiki in another course, describe what you have previously learned and how you want to expand your understanding.
I didn’t use the wikispace before; this course is my first experience.

* What can you contribute as an experienced participant?
I am not experienced yet!

* How do you choose which postings to contribute or change? What do you look for?
My posts are topics that interest me and I have studied about before. When I post something I like to post other topics that connect with each other’s and add the links at the bottom of the page. When editing, I usually go through the table of content randomly, or I pick a letter and work from there.

* What are your thoughts on adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work?
I usually “add” rather than “edit” people’s work. I personally don’t like to delete anybody’s work. In general it is very minimal the amount that needs to be edited but there is always something to add. My editing mostly involves re-arranging messy posts, adding images, a clip, or adding points.

* Do you regularly check your own postings for alterations? Has anyone changed your work and how have you felt about it?
Yes I do check my postings. I don’t mind if someone edits my posts as long as they don’t delete major part!! I really like it when someone adds something valuable to my posts. I think at first the whole idea that people have the authority to edit each others’ work seemed a bit unusual but now I don’t mind it too much.
