Reflection on Task 4

Toni, Rina and I have worked very hard on Task 4, we actually started this when we were in Bergen anticipating that we would be very busy when we got home. We did not realise how time consuming this task would be. We met quite often on chat and this was a good experience except for the first time when I couldn't get through to Toni and Rina. Google docs is a good way to cowrite the paper but there were times when we were all editing and the document was jumping around a bit.
I am still terribly behind with my work and the many hours spent on this task has not helped me in any way to catch up.
I still think about what we learnt in Bergen and think that we benefitted a great deal. Having missed some sessions due to recording I still feel that I didn't manage to catch up on this although Klas-Goran kindly showed me the next day what I had missed.
We are starting on our next task now which I hope will not be as onerous as Task 4.

reflections when home

I have found it very difficult to cope with the huge amount of work when I got home, perhaps that is because I have about three different jobs, my new one and then a great deal of tasks from my old job too. I had so much marking to catch up on and now there is more, staff matters to deal with and then to start setting up this new job, finding a place to stay etc. i have also been giving papers at two conferences already.
I can see how students struggle to find the time and space to engage in e-learning modules when they are working. One feels torn in so many directions.
I have been working collaboratively with Rina and Antonia which has been good, but I did not manage to chat with them as I couldn't download msn at university.
We did manage to meet eventually but missed the general group chat on Task 4 which was a pity as we were under the impression that our paper was going well until we heard from Anne Karin that we had to look much more carefully at our own module. That made us panic a bit as not much time is left before we hand it in.
