The shared learning added to the positive experience.” - Donna T.

Slide 19: what you said... “In the library everyday there is a question on how to access the tools available to the students. To me this sessions of Learning 2.0 have made a big difference. Now I can navigate (as a beginner, sort of) this vast sea of tools, without panicking and call the IT guys.” - Sylvia H.

Slide 20: what you said... “Phew!!! That was fun. Like most people, I wish I had more time to spend on the weekly activities, but even though I raced through a couple of weeks, I still learned A LOT!!! I don't feel like I'm from the Stone Age anymore.” - Lynn S.
