Hello,
Wow, this has been a busy half term. I've fallen behind somewhat and now I feel that I am frantically reading every piece of research I can get my hands on. I've visited the library and plan a few more trips there before Monday and I'm back in work.
I feel that I've been watching what other people are doing on-line rather than taking part, especially with LO2 in the IOCT module. I shall be in first class alot more now and will be activly taking part rather than just reading.
As part of my research I have added a few sites of interest. One is workplace ethics and the other is about working on line. Its aimed at a younger generation but it does highlight disadvantages of being online.
Thanks and happy researching
Phil

On-line learning
Good evening,
I am finally well again and now feel up to getting stuck into the 2nd module. I am finding this module a little more difficult than the first. I am think that it needs a lot more thought and research because there are less boundary's involved. With the first module things like my competencies are set in stone where as I now have a license to be creative and use my opinions.
Although it is a bit more difficult I do like the chance to express my own views.
I hope everybody else is ok.

On line learning
Hello,
I ve spent most of this evening catching up with people on facebook tonight. I really enjoy the fact that I can get in touch with old school friends quite easily. The downside of this is that it is a good distraction. I am definately going to put that in my cons list.
Ive been reading a little about What is a virtual community and why would you ever need one??
(Sue Boetcher, Heather Duggan, Nancy White).I must admit this is an interesting read. A few of the points made are of definate interest to me. Why do people join and build virtual communities? I think that the main reason for me prior to starting this course was simply to socialize with old friends. Now it is to get advice and guidance from my fellow cohorts and learning facilitators.
Its funny that in a few weeks my views of why I use these media has changed somewhat. I intend to discuss this in greater detail after a little more research.
