?WHY? I have decided to sign up for the Open Networked Learning Course….. WHY WHY WHY Well...... A friend-colleague of mind did the course and said she it stretched her as she needed to learn many new things. She is a spatial statistician….. so it made me a bit nervous….. I mean if she struggled in parts, what about me as a mere social scientist?? BUT, she said it’s a LOOC and freely accessible on-line. So I said “why not?” Wish-list My mini-wish-list to get out of the course: · 😎 Learn what on earth ONL actually IS? · 😎 Become more digitally agile · 😎 Open up expanded possible professional pathways for me Fears Of course I was scared of not being able to pull it off: · 💣 Won’t be savvy enough to “get it” · 💣 Not enough time in between a full schedule · 💣 Starting and not completing By the time I went on-line to check out the course it was only a few days before the start.
