What helped me to survive were the friendships that I made with my fellow classmates. Their advice and insights were extremely helpful as we ventured into new subjects and tackled big projects. Together we discovered a website or a book that made a class easier to get through. I learned a few tips like buying my books online instead of at the bookstore that saved me time and money. I’m sure you’ve got a few tips and tricks yourself that could help the next class of students.
Here’s your chance to share with others the resources that you’ve found helpful in your studies. As part of my final project for the class ALOP-298 Using Emerging Technologies for Learning, I’ve created a wiki to collect your insights and advice for the future students of our program.
For those not familiar with what a wiki is, it’s a webpage or collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content – think Wikipedia on a small-scale. I’m asking you to contribute to our wiki. It will be a collection created by Drake adult education graduate students for Drake adult education graduate students.
Instructions:
- Click on this link to open the ALOP Advice wiki
- In the navigation panel on the left-hand side, I’ve created some pages to organize the content. Click on a page to view the current material.
- To add your own material, click on the “Edit This Page” button at the top of the page
- Add your content. Please start your entry with your name and graduation date.
- Click Save and you’re done.
Please feel free to forward this to others in the program that I missed.
Thank you for your help with my project; and on behalf of those students who have yet to enjoy their first Friday night, thanks for your advice.

Great idea, Jeff. I went out into your Wiki and what a great resource you are starting for future enrolles. Part to the idea of "giving back" not just being a consumer of information.
I agree with Kim. This alone is a great resource compiled into one area. At least the new people can get an overview and a perspective on what to expect. Also, this has the potential to be an ongoing thing. Great job!
Great Wiki, Jeff. I have added to your alop Wiki and shared my tips and goals as well. You have started a great Wiki that has motivated people to share their experiences in the ALOP program as well as give others tips on how to deal graduate school and life's demands. Your directions were clear and any new user of wikis would clearly understand how to add their part and access other info as well.
