H808

So H808 results are out and I have got a pass. I was surprised as although I have found this unit the most tough both due to the course contents and also due to peripheral matters, I managed to get a better result than that obtained in other MAODE units. Surely I have got a […]

…my progress

Working through the third week of this course, I am still feeling a bit awkard as things still are looking pretty odd. The pace of work, activities and amount of discussion are so different from previous courses I have taken so far with the OU. Looking at the work being done by other tutor groups, […]

the Context

Picking up from my first post on the timeline activity, it is quiet obvious that each member of the tutor group has a baggage of experience and comes from an environment which will have an effect on the response that shall be given. I am still unclear how I can work collaborativly on this activity […]

H809 Practice-based research in educational technology

Time to start working on this new course. By reading the course guide it seems that this course will be a bit different from others courses which I already completed as it seems to focus much more on research. Still, it looks like I’ll be finding it pretty useful for my job as amongst others […]

3. my Personal and Professional development

my Personal and Professional development These last two weeks have been somewhat intense as my private life (especially fever) took over studying and work. I have tried to keep updated with what was going on in H808, by trying to read my group’s forum posts and a couple of readings.This unit focused on important issues […]

Maltese Secondary School

Having such rigid syllabuses means that they are catering for skills required when such syllabuses were published, at times 10 years old or […]

Rogers and Salmon

Rogers’ model and diffusion and Salmon’s framework of e-tivities are two important ideas which I’ve been reflective upon in the last couple of weeks . Is there a correlation between these two models? From a learning perspective Rogers identifies different types of adopters which are present and need to be catered for when any innovation […]

H807 – Blogging or not ?

I’m almost done with H807’s TMA03 which deals with online interaction. I have been reflecting on how courses may purpose learners to choose to interact via specific media although a charactheristic important in such courses is that learners may actually use other tools which may compliment their learning. I’ve been missing from blogging due to […]

TMA 01 – reflection

This assignment took me much more then anticipated to finish it. Still I’m not sure if I have answered correctly the question as it could have been interpreted in various ways. For this assignment I’ve used for the first time a mind map. It reappy helped me extract useful information from the case studies and […]

Week 2, what a week !

I’ve been feeling a bit lost this week. Compared to H800, H807 is not structured. This week we have 3 activities which could have been easily named A1, A2a and A2b as in H800. At the same time the last two activities seem to overlap to week 3 but am not sure on how much […]
