Week 3 Reflection: Foundations of Online & Open Ed: Terminology, Theories, & Inclusive Practices

Modality in Education – Personal Experience When I think about the modality in my own education, I can only describe it as a wave of transitions. I began school in strictly face to face classes as the majority does, then during middle school I had some struggles connecting with the environment, educators and struggling with […]

Week 2 Reflection: Terminology, Theories, & Inclusive Practices

Week 1 Reflection: Data Privacy, Consent, and Open Copyright

This week I explored topics and resources around Data Privacy, Consent, and Open Copyright. By dissecting these I gained some new and necessary insights. Especially through Datafication with Bonnie Stewart, emphasizing the every trace we leave behind through our digital and media use or involvement which can then be “consolidated, monetized and sold.” Stewart clarifies […]

EDCI 335 Blog #4 Designing For Interaction

When I think of interaction in the realm of education and learning I picture meaningful hands-on, communicative and collaborative work. From some of the descriptions in this week’s readings it can often lack these traits focusing more on just, “mutual or reciprocal action or influence,” described by Merriam-Webster for example. While this is just as […]

EDCI 335 Blog #2 Learning Design I-II

Inquiry-Based Learning & Constructivism My group has decided to focus on constructivism as a base for our blueprint and learning resource as it best aligns with our goals for designing a meaningful, student centred learning resource. This theory emphasizes that learners actively construct meaning based on prior knowledge and new experiences. In this blog however […]

WEEK #2 (2) PEER RESPONSE’S TO AASHI K & Ben V

https://aashikalra.opened.ca/ Hi Aashi! I really enjoyed reading your blog for this week. It was really well done. I liked your explanation of digital identity being “layers” . I think this provides a strong visual thought of just how complex these pieces of online contributions and communities can be. Personally I like making visual connections as […]

Blog #3 – PLN Dynamics and Inclusivity

Inclusive PLNs Through Social Media and UDL I feel as though I’ve found my “sweet spot of occupations” explained by Shelley Moore in EDCI 338 – 20 Minutes Moore as being these four bubbles aligned, “what you’re good at, contributing to the world, making an income, and being creative/innovative”.
