		<description>Since we are doing at the moment some kind of pilot project,
we face(d) unfortunately technical problems, 
but I think this will be gotten over with in the future for the next classes.
Also: the advantages of the course compensate this.
For me being in another country it would be otherwise hard to take the class.


I think what makes the class for me very interesting is, 
that it is not just something you attend and listen to and then you are on your own again and this it was.
NO, you are really involved.
We can see how we can change things (even the class),
We can see that our questions and answers help/stimulate each other.
You can be at the same time student and teacher, explorer and person being experimented with
(well, it is your decision to which degree this will be true or not).

The main advantage for me is, 
that it helped me to QUESTION MYSELF MORE, 
it helps me change my mind.

I can say with the EXERCISES I learned so far great things.
Simple things can bring you to the point where you realize, 
that assumptions you make are/can be wrong.
I will not detail here what exactly.
Take the class and make the experience yourself, 
just writing about it is not sufficient and will not help you that much.
Listen to what other students tell on the exercises. 
There is so much you can learn, no matter how much experience you have.

The DISCUSSIONS during the sessions are great, 
they help getting to know each other better 
and seeing topics from various viewpoints.
So, if you just read the free available slides and think: 
"Hmm, well, ok. Just some more of this and that..."
Believe me, the class itself is much more than the slides can show you.

So far, I have IMPLEMENTED several things IN my DAILY WORK due to this class 
and we have had just 2 sessions until now.


I do NOt REGRET at all having taken the class and 
I can tell the mentioned money above is worth it (may sound now like marketing to you, but it is true).
I will give at the end of the class another review, 
how the class helped me or did not (this I doubt now, but as testers we must consider every possibility :-) )

		<description>The class reminds me of being at an actual conference.
The Webinar is the actual scheduled class. The moodle discussions represent the conversations going on in between classes or in the evening during dinner (and beyond).

I have always found the conversations outside of the classroom to be extremely valuable, and one of the main reasons to attend a conference.

		<description>I attended the first two sessions of the online course mentioned above and have thoroughly enjoyed it.  The fact that I can attend an interactive online course from home is great.  Due to my work and personal commitments I wouldn't be able to do this course any other way in the near future.

Technology is great! And the course is too! :)</description>
