Before going into specific learning objectives, there is one that is for me very important during the whole course: reflection. In our University College we find this very important. I do this a lot, but now I will be obliged to do this in a blog, in an open learning environment. This is very new to me. I want to experience this and make a note for my colleagues about this experience and discuss this in our University College.
Week 4 and 5
In this week we will work on a shared document about the pro and cons of e-learning in general and specific for our course.
- It is important for me to get some more knowledge and theoretical background of e-learning. Therefore I will read as much as possible about this, but at least McDonnell, because this seemed very interesting to me.
- I want a clear view for myself, what the real difference can be for my course, developed as an e-learning course.
- Exercise on practical tools like google-docs and chat. It will be the first time that I work on a text together with others in this way. I want to give good reflection on this, because I will be more involved in international cooperation on different themes and this experience is good, because we will use that more.
Week 6
Develop a competence based curriculum plan. I am strongly involved in the development of the curriculum plan at our University College.
- The main learning objective is to translate all specific themes concerning e-learning into this curriculum plan.
- Be able to get a real international perspective into my curriculum plan.
Week 7
I never thought or reflected much about using triggers. I find this very interesting, because with all the new media, visual or audiovisual input will become more and more important. I think in media courses and advertising, this must be a hot item. I was really impressed by the examples we saw in Bergen.
- To have more background and knowledge about visual and audiovisual input as a trigger for reflection or comparative work.
Week 8
Build and structure own course. Feedback on task 5a
Make Trigger
- To be able to use the right tools for the right goals. I learned now already that it is very important to think very good about this. Not only use the tools because it is nice to work with.
- To be able to write a constructive feedback that is useful for my fellow student.
- To be able to take account of the feedback of my fellow student.·
- Have more knowledge about teaching approaches and learning styles and combine this with the things I read about e-learning.
