“I think that it took a little getting used to but after a couple of weeks I really like it and feel that it is a good way to teach the subject.” “This sounds like online learning is finally what it should be in the 21st century” “I am NOT a fan of this type of learning”. “I’m starting to understand it a little more. It took me some time to figure out Toolwire but after 2 or 3 hours of staring (and) yelling at my computer screen and banging my head against the door I got it.”
