    1. I agree with your views on collaboration as an opportunity. And actually referenced your statement in my blog. Collaboration at its best. BOOM!

8.2 Reflection

As we continue the journey of learning and head toward the end of this course, it is time to reflect.

I have learnt so much in such a short amount of time. From new digital learning technologies and platforms to the issues that surround this type of learning and the role of learning technologists and pedagogies are used in an instructional multi-dimensional learning environment.

I now know the how to… about digital learning, by using adobe connect in a classroom environment and from learning from home. As well as the benefits and issues that can arise from this technology.

The different methodologies tutors can use to present a topic by inspiring learning with interactive lessons, real time assessment, virtual experiences, classroom contests and challenges. And the how to use the OTARA, ADDIE and rapid prototyping models.

I am more aware and savvy of my own personal learning and personal learning network I choose to engage in.  Having the guest speakers was great, in particular Joyce Seitzinger. WOW she's so inspiring and she was certainly on point with her lecture with us.

I enjoyed creating twitter account and blogging. I liked planning my project, however it did get quite technical and challenging and I lost myself in all the information a couple of times. KISS

I really enjoyed the whole experience, it is like looking into the future, but the future is already here… This digital age of learning will transform our classrooms, empower teachers and captivate and engage students and professionals. BOOM!

The course was run pretty smoothly, my only bug was the combination of both EIT online course material and the wiki course material. I found it difficult to navigate and always went round in circles trying to find what I required. Weather this was my level of understanding or a possible suggestion to streamline coursework into a more user friendly system. Of course I got there in the end, but quite frustrated. I would suggest handing out one sheet of paper with the navigation map of the course material on it and include due dates of assessments.

Good Job Michael, great course!

http://wikieducator.org/Masseuse/Massage_Therapy_At_Home this course has been put together by a third year BCS student. It is an training video of how to massage at home. It is put together for a beginner level masseuse. They have used Wiki Educator as the platform for learning. They have used a wide array of assessment tools and photos. It is nicely formatted, professional and very user friendly. --Abuzzyworld (talk) 04:12, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
