Hi Imogen

I enjoyed reading your post and I especially liked the action you took on evaluating the  experience – change jobs. I was also interested to hear of some students’ reluctance to blog and participate in social media. I wonder, did this prevent them from completing the course or achieving the desired outcomes?

Hello Ladies,

Just to say that I enjoyed reading this discussion thread and learning about the concept of ‘ako‘, which means both to teach and to learn. I was also glad to read about the related concept of ‘manaakitanga’, hospitality. Hospitality is a concept, or philosophy, that I’ve come across before and in my opinion is an important literacy to develop and design for in online learning environments. I wrote a blog about it at the start of the year, “Hospitality: a promising philosophy for designing online courses & fostering critical digital literacies”.

All interesting ideas for adult learning in a digital age, that’s for sure. Lots to think about. 🙂

I too liked your post Imogen, and the discussion that it elicited. In fact, I used it as the nub of my reflections for my blog post this week. Apologies that I didn’t join the conversation here, or comment sooner; I think I’m operating at a more superficial level when it comes to this topic. Great job. Thanks.

Make it personal, keep it simple: finding and creating resources. #octel
