Thanks for your intro Matt. I too am seeking a quiet corner (within the Mooc rules to post my response to the essential activity this week. The forum seems a more personal place than that maelstom of emails hitting the mail group so here goes.
your previous experiences with TEL and what technology was involved
Quite a lot – having worked for 9 years on national projects to promote use of E Learning in adult education ( National Institute of Adult Continuing Ed) . We supported intro of Learning Platforms to local authority adult ed providers and I looked at paper -free methods of recording progress and achievement. More recently I have run workshops on use of video and montage as a contructivist learning method.
what about the technology made the way you absorb, reflect, discuss, act different
Chances to navigate in interesting ways, and re visit my own digital creations to note how I have progressed.
your experiences as a student, a teacher or a learning technologist or indeed some other role.
I refer the honourable reader to the answer I gave a few minutes ago
if this is your first experience of TEL, the expectations you have of it.
Not a TEL virgin so question is not for me.
