Assignment 3: Reflective Practice in Action - Reflecting on your experience in OLTD 503
(individual activity - 20%)
This assignment is intended to you with a chance to sift through the materials and experiences to which you have been exposed in this course. Have your initial philosophies about online communication (as it relates to online teaching and learning) changed? If so, how? If not, explain why. Re-visit some of the discussion boards from various points in the course dialogue. What is it that you and others learned about online communication over the duration of this course? Does this learning fit with your prior 'hunches' about what it means to communicate in an online environment?
Before you begin creating, please revisit the following resources:
your seminar experiences
Our Google + community
any references to readings, articles and quotes used throughout this course, that resonated with you; and,
some kind of medium through which to present your assignment.
Reflect on some of the communications practices/styles observed or learned through your seminar leading experience. Ensure you connect the observed practices with your (revised?) philosophy and place them in the context of your own goals and approaches.
Reflect on the theories related to online communication and the means by which your seminar facilitation employed them. If it didn't, why? What is important here is to connect the theories we've explored as part of this course (and maybe some from the previous two courses) to your own philosophy and practice.
Identify and reflect upon your experience as a moderator of online communication. What have you learned about your own facilitation and co-facilitation skills? What changes might you make (if any) as a result of the experience and learnings in this course?
Learning Outcomes:
Critically assess and evaluate resources for best practice in online learning
Consider responsibility, accountability and civility in online environments
Examine current research around best practices and emerging practices
