First week in ONL172
The first week in ONL172 was a bit confusing. This is my first open online course but I have attended several other distance courses before where I have used a Learning Management System (LMS).
So far I find this way a bit more difficult to organize in my head. I am not used to Google+ and I think it is difficult to find a structure in all post in the groups. Which one is the latest? I also try to find a structure among different links, blogs, documents, groups and so on.
Monica Löv has made a great map to visually understand the structure. Maybe it´s a good way to start to follow some blogs instead of trying to read all?
Unfortunately, I missed the first meeting in the PBL-group, but I hope it will work anyhow.
It will be interesting to read this first post in the end of the course. Hopefully I am a bit more unconfused at that time and I am looking forward to that:)

Just a bit confusing? Then you're doing fine - for many participants the first weeks of ONL is a very steep learning curve ;o). And I think it's a good idea not to aim at reading all blogs - choose a few that you like and stay with them so you can follow the process through the course. Hope you'll enjoy the ride!
SvaraRaderaYou're doing great, Christina_ Your blog inspired me to finally try it out for myself_ Happy to read that I'm not the only one with cold feet_

SvaraRaderaThanks for the post! The feeling of confusion is very interesting - I argued in my reflection #1 that confusion is a key for learning :) When we have questions there might also be answers. Thanks for the tip to the map by Monica, it certainly communicates the structures we have here. Thanks & good luck!
SvaraRaderaGood to hear that you also are confused with the interface for G+ :) But it seems to run real good for you!
SvaraRaderaNice that you have find my map useful. Gives me a reason to continue visualizing. Not that I'm promising anything now ;)
SvaraRaderaThanks for your understanding and encouraging comments:)
