I'm happy to have been the instigator of an absolutely beautiful piece of work. I love the course. I love what you have done with the structure, the use of the tools, the interaction. This is what I hoped would come out of the ALA Library 2.0 project. Congratulations on a very nice model. I hope it gets picked up and replicated all over the place. Hooray for you guys.

Congratulations! You all got a barn and you put on a show–and, in the process, I hope, showed others that they can do the same. Congratulations!

Giving a talk, I find, always challenges me to clarify my thinking on things so that I can present it in a coherent way. But when you're doing a screencast for the first time, it's a double challenge! Thanks for everything you did for the course and I'm glad it also gave something back to you!

It is amazing that I remember Meredith discussing the germ of the idea at CIL last year and now the live part is over. Glad I could be some small part of it. :) Congrats on making this a huge success!

I'd include under "there are so many different types of learning experiences". the learning curve of presenters as we worked out how to select, organise, present, create and upload content for the course. I can't speak for anyone else, but my skillset was certainly enriched, and I had a ball talking to the people who turned up for my chat session. And I learned a lot from the content made by the other presenters as well. And from the participants' blogs. And watching the organisers in action. Thanks to all involved...let's do it again some time :) A great summary of a great program, but I’d add one more thing.

It taught plenty of things to everybody, not only to the participants. I was keeping notes every single day because we would like to do something similar here as well. It would be interesting if you could make a post highlighting the difficulties and things that must be taken into account when organizing such a project.
