Prof. Matt, I can see how images can be distorted and even misconstruded from is actual meaing. But learning is equally misconstruded.  Different views determine different outcomes. There may be more than one result derived from an image. This is beneficial to the learning experience. A new or unfamiliar image will be confusing, curious and possibly frightful at the first look, but given time and exploration an honest outcome will be derived.  This is what I got out of your blog on Dithered Image. I guess it relates to the course as well. Look forward to an exciting ride…

The difference between watching the video on wiki and you tube is: you tube shows the entire person where as wiki just shows the upper body and face. It is like watching High Definition TV (you tube) in comparison to regular TV (wiki).

This course has been very challenging. I find myself becomming more comfortable on a daily basis. I am so used to the classroom setting. I always struggled with privacy and security issues associated with on-line usage. I now realize that security is not that big of an issue.

I like the diversity that this class has to offer along with the variety of students taking it. I felt my situation was unique, not having time to continue my classroom study due to work committments, but I see similar conditions by my classmates warrant on-line study as well.

Professor Matt seems very knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects, which makes the course enjoyable and challenging. I am sure to be more focused at the conclusion of this course.

The selection of materials are interesting. The Diamond Age, Blogging and Wiki are all new to me. I have some knowledge of Blogs and Wikis but this course was expanded my knowledge and pricked a curiousity that I never knew existed.

Coming from a Human Services/Social Work discipline this course of study is quite different. I however do see some similarities. I feel this course will compliment and enhance that background and open up an interesting future.

I am growing more excited about this course each week and hope to get more comfortable as time goes by

peace, Ben
