Module 6-final blog

What did you like or dislike about taking an asynchronous online course?

Depending upon the content of the course, I like online classes. I think that there are some courses that cannot be taken online, and do not translate well in the online format for the student. I like the ability to have hybrid classes that have in person and online meetings and discussions. I thought that this class was a good example of a course that worked well online. The opportunity to explore different technology associated with the healthcare industry requires the use of a computer anyhow. I like the freedom offered by taking courses online. I can do my course work at any time of the day; although sometimes that means that I have that much more to procrastinate. The online format forces the student to be a self starter and keep on track, because if you do procrastinate, it is horrible to catch up. I found the ability to email and chat with students and instructors to be valuable and easy to use.

What topic did you learn the most about and what was your favorite topic? What did you like least?

It might sound funny, but I actually enjoyed the blog. Prior to this class I was not a blogger and did not even know what BlogSpot was. I understood the concept of a blog but didn’t know how it could connect people through their experiences. As far as the course work was concerned, I enjoyed learning about the different methods of diagnostic supplementation that providers have available to them. I think that CMS systems have and will continue to transform the delivery of care and access to information.

Do you have any other comments for us?

I really enjoyed the class. I think that the content was applicable and useful to providers. I also think that you have a good way of delivering the content. I hope to have additional classes with you in the future.
