Good article describing instructional designers' experiences as online students during a series of presentations hosted by e-Learning Guru (the eLearning Developers' Journal, in which this article appears, is usually a subscription-based journal, however, the author sent me this link, which works - for now, at least). The author provides a good - though overly generous - description of the vClass conferencing software (with screen shots), and more importantly, accounts of the students' recommendations. Interesting were the desires for a private space not connected to the classroom, and for individual photos or bios - personalization features long the staples of most community software but not (yet) regarded as important in the educational market.
