Hi Ashley,
I'm so glad you enjoyed your first virtual class, held in Webheads Office at LearningTimes.org, last week. It was a wonderful learning experience for me as well. I also was amazed by how fast you learned to use a number of the collaborative tools available at the vClassroom by Elluminate. You seemed quite comfortable with the e-learning environment. And your English is very good; everything was clear for me when we communicated in English throughout the online session.
I'm eager to meet you and your other classmates, again this week. I look forward to hearning you presenting on "Zodiac",on Firday, Aug.5, 2005, at 3 a.m. GMT; this should be Thursday, Aug 4, at 8 pm your time, in Vancouver, Canada.
Best wishes,
Buthaina, (EFL/ESP instructor in Kuwait University, and a Webhead in action from Kuwait)
