Get to Know Your Fellow October Completers
Overview
Working well with your fellow learners is an important part of an online course. So, at the beginning of this course, we’d like you to take time to "break the ice" and get to know each other. You may already know some of your fellow learners or have just met them. Establishing personal interaction with other learners will make your online learning experience much more enjoyable and engaging. So, we encourage you to participate in this activity, though it’s optional.
Meet and Greet
Tell everyone your story! We encourage you to share a brief introduction about yourself to your fellow learners. Read some of your fellow learners' postings. Pick at least 2 postings that are most interesting to you and add your friendly comments.
You can go to the Meet Your Fellow October Completers Discussion Prompt and add your introduction story there.
