I think the idea was good because it was an additional resource for gathering information and for communicating with classmates and with our instructor. However, not many people seemed to use it for communication. My thought is that people are so time-crunched it becomes one more thing to do.
Something that would have made it more useful for me –- following each class, posting by the instructor, reinforcement of concepts covered in class. I think others would have checked in weekly for this information and it might inspire more communication between classmates. Another idea—offer extra credit points for inspiring others on The Cove since it was not a City U. requirement.
Also, it may have helped to review skills for using the cove at the beginning of our class. We are not all computer gurus!
