Question:
How do I track my progress for each of the 23 Things?

Question:
Will there be any training classes offered to show staff what to do?
If I need help who do I call?
This is a self-directed learning program. If you feel you need assistance with an item, you are encouraged to be resourceful and to find a colleague who can help, or read the other participants blogs. You can also write a comment on the main Learning 2.0 (the 23 things) blog or send an email to karen.sainsbury@ul.ie
During the programme we intend to run a series of lunch time talks on Web 2.0 topics covered in the programme.

Question:
I've seen the list of 23 Things on the website, but how do I know what to do with them?
Each week, an email will be sent to highlight the weekly task or tasks, the reason for this staggered approach is to allow participants the opportunity to focus each week on a different area without feeling overwhelmed.

Question:
Can I work ahead through the list of items on my own?
Yes, of course. As this is a self-directed, discovery process, you are encouraged to work ahead on your own. However, if you do work ahead on some items, be sure to write about the exercises in your blog so you can receive full credit for its completion.
