Assignment 3 – Online Course – Progressive Blog #7

Posted by mykringo on 9th November 2007

I have now completed lesson 15, the last lesson in this level and the final lesson for this assignment. I certainly have learnt a lot about the Greek language and I am able to say a number of useable phrases. I can now look at Greek words and break them up phonetically so the course has been successful. I have certainly met my expectations for the course and overall it has been well presented and very easy to follow. The discussion forums and chat room in particular have been very valuable resources. The degree of collaboration between the students and facilitators has also been exceptional. I would recommend this course for any one wanting to learn the Greek language. This course was only the start of the journey as it was only the first half of the Elementary level, there are two intermediate and two advanced courses to follow which I am intending to follow through to.

Three hours into the course, have reached lesson 10. Although each lesson is around fifteen minutes have needed to revisit each lesson a number of times. Still no issues with the course, apart from there not being any formal quizzes included in the course. In the discussion forums some of the students have actually created review questions and these have been posted in the duscussion forums for all to use. You might call it Learner-Centred learning.

Reached halfway point – 2 hours. The lessons continue in same vein. Finding it easier to phonetically identify the greek letters. Still need to revisit each lesson several times. The discussion forums and chat room are a definite plus.
