Reading these posts I feel I could have written them!
Education has killed any curiosity and any opportunity of self-determined learning (I found reading about heutagogy this week particularly enlightening! http://heutagogycop.wordpress.com/history-of-heutagogy/).
We have a hard job in front of us and we will probably never see the education…[Read more] -

I kept getting confused with this activity trying to answer as a learner when all I want to know is if I am prepared as a teacher! I’m glad you raised that question and looked it up!
Checking the links that you shared I was expecting the questions to be similar to the learner’s questions: management skills, teaching skills, computer skills,…[Read more] -

After this week’s reading I am starting to reflect on the concept of Heutagogy (http://heutagogycop.wordpress.com/history-of-heutagogy/).
It’s early days for me, but I have the feeling that I none of the methods we are using at the moment is the answer, at least not in their present form.
We have:

I agree with all of you and I was asking myself the same questions until I read some of this week’s resources. My focus has now shifted from the technology and how we use it towards students’ roles and attitudes.
I tried flipping the classroom and like “mchaudhry” had mixed results. I also tried directed study tasks but I’m sorry to report that…[Read more] -

I teach face to face, but I use online tools as well.
Some of them are:
1. We use Blackboard and I have EVERYTHING posted there: subject outline, assessment details, assessment submissions, videos, audios, weekly summaries, links to electronic dictionaries and online lessons and activities that I found useful and to resources such as…[Read more] -
Alicia Vallero replied to the topic Activity 0.2: Small group reflection in the forum Higher education (general) 10 years ago
I agree with Tony. There is a big range of interests and experience amongst the participants of ocTEL2014 and that the challenge for the course is to cater for all those different experiences and preferences.
I think that these groups are a great way to help us focus on our particular interests rather. I expect the seminars to be quite general to…[Read more] -

I never know who can see what or where my comment or pictures may end up (even when you use the different privacy options!) so I use it very cautiously. If I was going to use it for professional networking I would start a new account separate to my personal…[Read more]
