Hi @AlisonKitchiner, great comments! I agree that framing learning and having a positive mindset to pursue more learning is integral to building on what is already known!
-
Hi @IngridKarikari, I really like the way you look at the asynchronous nature of the course, and yes, just because the original posters might not see what you're posting, you are nevertheless leaving a trace for future learners to build upon and interact with!

Erik Beyersdorf replied to HAI TRAN
Hi @HAITRAN, I agree and thanks for your comments, it's a delicate balance! I like how you pointed out both the potential for trolls but also that online discussion threads can cater to different personality and learning types.
-
Hi @MonikaWienert, achieving a balance of comments and responses is a fine balance! I suppose the 3cs is a model to help shape engaged social learning. It'd be interesting to further see how we might model to increase interaction, e.g. write a post and respond to one other.

Erik Beyersdorf replied to Kat Day
Hi @KatDay, thanks for your comments! As various learner cohorts undertake the courses, comments do tend to build up. Perhaps, identify (looking at the date of recent posts) other learners who are undertaking the course at the same time as an initial reference point to help you work through others' comments! I also do like the mnemonics of the 3cs, but like...

Erik Beyersdorf replied to Tanya Bilka
Hi @TanyaBilka, despite the large number of learners, I particularly learn a lot when learners relate their own experiences (whether it be in the digital teaching and learning space or in the workplace). We also share our learning amongst each other, e.g. themes and points of interest that arise from the discussions and look to draw on and build upon these to...
