So while continuing to explore the ManageBAC system, I noticed one thing that got me very frustrated. I had just written my massive reflection for MUN, but then when I went to enter it in the proper section under activities, there were all these question sections that I was supposed to fill out. I was very confused, to say the least, especially as it seemed that these questions were the ones that were necessary for the activity proposal, not for final reflection. Therefore, I sent the following at the top of one of the question boxes:
- "OK Mr. Hyer, I just went to this reflection section to post my MUN reflection, and found these weird questions, and was appalled. These should have been in the activity proposal, not the reflection! Anyways, I'm not answering these individually after I have typed up an actual reflection for MUN, which addresses each of these questions but with broader detail and in a proper, reflective, format."
I hope I figure out what exactly the purpose for this is. As of now, I still prefer this blog system, as I feel the ManageBac is overly complex, and I feel that I can be more organized on blogger. Perhaps I'm just not accustomed to the new software yet.
Hi Matt,
ReplyDeleteWe stumbled on your post via Google, and I wanted to let you know that we'll be adding in a draft option over the summer, so that you can save your journals before releasing them.
I think the questions you were seeing may have been on the "Reflections" tab, which is where your Coordinator would add customized reflection questions.
Feel free to contact us directly via "Submit Support Request" if you have any ideas for ways we could improve the system.
Thanks,
Team MB
