I spent time with the AA's yesterday and boy, we got to cover a lot of things in our exchanges: student council, student org, MMS photography class, Biomodd field trip 1, field trip part 2, sportsfest, photo exhibit, suggestions for the upou lms/website, UPOU FB1, UPOU FB2. And so, out comes a bunch of ideas for the UPOU virtual learning community. And out comes a new set of glasses to see VC's from others' points of view besides mine.
A major wake up call! So now that I'm awake, there's a part I have yet to see in this research: online behavior. Hah--and my co writer has seen that before.
Anyways, movin' on....I need to review the questions, collect/ review current lit I've collected, go back to the abstract. There!
Perhaps it is time to FB, in order to:
-connect more with students through an online presence in the social network they themselves created
-get out of the box and see students from a different light
-observe online behavior and search for meanings

New Questions: Layer 2 ...testing
Set B:
This is like you sort of observing and analyzing the users (active and new)--from the standpoint of a faculty and member of the UPOU community in general.
Do you see that students have gotten more connected through the site?
In what ways?
What exchanges do you think were meaningful to students? Why so?
To what extent is the site achieving its goals?
Set A:
-What are your initial perceptions of UPOU students based on your observation of their online behavior?
-Have your perceptions changed? What else have you discovered about their online behavior as students/members of the virtual community?
-What have you learned from these online/ offline experiences with site members, in terms of making students feel that they're part of a larger community?

Sample Questions: First Layer...testing
What pushed you to create the community site for UPOU? Did it like just dawn upon you like the way you make your music?
-Tell me about how you put the contents/things together at the site...what factors did you consider with your choice of webhost, the design/theme contents/folders, the gallery. Or did these things come to you naturally having had previous experience with managing or moderating forums?
-Is there a difference with the work and interaction YOU do (and experience) via the UPOU community site versus previous sites/forums you've been with?
-Did you expect it to be discovered (by anyone from UPOU)? What were your initial plans for it to be noticed...or launched?
-Have your expectations been met in terms of initial response, site usage, current users?
Or maybe, any frustrations or unmet expectations?
-Any surprises...in terms of interaction/ experience you did not foresee nor expect (but happened) from users (old and new), you included?
-Would you consider this site as one to put in your list of creative work or accomplishment? Why so or...why not if ever?
