As part of closing out the course, I wanted to mention the transferability of skills from the Web 2.0 Learning curriculum to real-world applications. At a recent job interview, I was able to demonstrate several skills that I either learned or improved during this course. The interviewers were very impressed with how Diigo works and VoiceThread is looking like a real possibility for uploading their Powerpoint presentations to make them webinars. Copyright also came up when we discussed the use of Youtube videos in their presentations; they hadn't even thought about using a Creative Commons license before.
Not every job in the instructional design field is going to use every skill we learn in every class, but it's reassuring that this particular class helped in an immediate fashion.
