Open Learning - Really?? How do I get the university to accept that?? - ONL221 Topic 2

 What I know before this topic

I never bothered thinking about all these issues. I always enjoyed things which were free (I mean, which Singaporean doesn't??), and never thought to question on the licencing and other related issues. I always looked for references and if the sources were reputable ofcourse. 



What I want to learn about this topic

I didnt even think there was anything to learn nor explore about this topic! Ha!


What I have learnt about this topic

A TUCKLOAD of it! 


Firstly, the TIPS framework as Guidelines for Open Resources:

T: Teaching and Learning processes

I: Information and material consent

P: Presentation product and format

S: System technical and technology

http://oasis.col.org/bitstream/handle/11599/562/TIPSFramework_Version%202%5b1%5d%20Copy.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y



And also, to explore on learning styles to increase engagement and percieved value of the teachers' offerings. Secondly, on the use of digital tools to effect intended pedagogy, we have to be familair with the tools and how they work so that we could apply the right tool for the right kind of setting / learning outcomes!


I am glad I spent some time exploring more on this!

So I spent some time looking at the DigComp framework and I realised that the issue with Digital Competency and the definitions of the different levels of competencies and I cannot help but feel like the whole issue is quite complex. It is almost like learning a whole new language in order to communicate in a new country. For the purpose of ease of reference, I have pasted the link to the document here: https://publications.jrc.ec.europa.eu/repository/handle/JRC106281 So I think about my own father and my parents in law. In laws are older but definitely more digitally competent than my father. My mother is somewhere in between. So I think to myself, that age is not a good predictor. Perhaps, the ability to navigate is for sure like David White's description of native vs visitor. And by form and function, because one is forced to use it (like my children since they had to be schooled on home-based learning during COVID-19 stay

At the end of ONL221 (Topic 5) - MY REFLECTIONS

  At the end of the ONL221, this badge sums up how I feel What have I learnt through my engagement in the ONL221 course? To learn, is to try to contribute and to do. The power of a community of learning is undeniable! How will that influence my practice? I am thinking about how to continue learning in this manner, but yet at the same time, I constantly struggled to read new material and cope with contribution. Perhaps, a good way forward is to receive an "injection" of boluses every now and then.  My thoughts about use of technology to enhance my learning/teaching This was the very reason why I joined this course, to learn how to use technology better to enhance teaching and learning activities for my students. I was a fan and still am a fan and will always stay a fan of learning new things to keep class engagement going. However, I am concerned about whether I could afford the time to be committed to these regular new tools. I love that handbook developed  What will I do as
