The How 2 of Web 2.0 has been an interesting challenge It has introduced some Web 2.0 tools which, given time need deeper investigation, however as a final comment I feel a little disappointed.
Many potentially interesting topics were introduced but little information, if any, was given about them other than that they existed. I didn't really feel we were taught anything.
There is potential to learn from other participants in an online course such as this. We were given a list of participants blogs but I found it very time consuming to click on these very often to find this person had not started or was not up to where I was. There was no corrolation between this list and the Progress Table.
From our first assignment I felt it was established that Web 2.0 was about learning through collaboration rather than learning on our own. I didn't feel this happened in this course.
Earlier in the year I completed a Challenge with Edublogs. Like this course it was all done online. Each week, along with our assigned task, we were directed to certain blogs for a particular reason and were encouraged to leave suitable comments.  eg. Visit these blogs to see how they have used Google maps or see these blogs to read some interesting ideas about e books etc.
As a consequence of this activity, dialogue was established between participants as we visited each others blogs and left comments.. This activity over time ensured that all participants blogs were visited at least once over the course of the Challenge. As we visited each others blogs, reading what each other  had done for various activities we found like minded people. Five months later many of us are still communicating and learning with each other initially through our blogs and later through email.
As I began, this has been a course which has introduced some very interesting topics some of which I will most certainly delve into deeper.
Thank you for the opportunity.
