Chagrin: “Ugh, I have to learn another LMS?”
Procrastination: “Develop my class first, worry about this later. Wow, my bathroom sink really needs to be cleaned.”
Overwhelmedness: “OMG! bCourses is ridiculously detailed and difficult to navigate! And all that great material I’ve carefully built into bSpace over the years…LOST!”

Anger: “bCourses is trying to dictate the way I teach and how I structure my course! My glorious pedagogy! Out out, damned Modules!”
Resignation: “All right, all right. Let me learn how to work this damn thing.”
Accommodation: “Deep breaths. Rome wasn’t built in a day. You don’t have to include everything. Strip it down, build it up.”
Acceptance: “Oh, I can do that? And that? Cool! And so much easier than bSpace! My students are having no problem with it, and I can do this…and this…and that! I think I may really like this!”
