This chapter presents our perspectives on being learners on the first two modules of a new and innovative MSc in E-Learning. We explore our reasons for undertaking this course, particularly as we are both fairly experienced academics, and we examine when and how we experienced 'stuckness", and the particular factors that created this sense of disjunction. We use narrative inquiry as our informing methodology. The chapter delineates the forms of stuckness we have experienced and identifies the catalysts for these forms. The final section of the chapter suggests that some of the stuckness we have experienced is related to a new form of lurking, and argues that our experience may have implications for other learners in online spaces.
