My Summaries of learning
Hello and welcome to my diary of self-discovery, creativity and course design.
When I signed up for EC&I 834: Designing for online and blended learning, I expected to learn which software makes online training easy, how to navigate Google Classroom like a pro, and maybe enhance my Zoom meetings. Simple, right? Plot twist: I ended creating blogs to document my learning, even though I had used WordPress before. I explored Canvas and delved into H5P and Lumi to bring my course vision to life.
Looking back, I’m proud of how far I’ve come. This journey has been nothing short of empowering. I’ve discovered a creative side I didn’t know I had, and more importantly, I’ve realized that designing online learning is about purpose, inclusion, flexibility, engagement, creating an exceptional learning experience, and, most importantly, it’s about education!
So what’s next? More exploration, course design, and growth. I’m excited to continue building on this foundation and evolving as a course designer and adult educator.
Thanks for reading, and you can also watch my Summaries of Learning.
PS: If you’re on your learning design journey, know it’s okay to start unsure. You’ll be amazed at how far you can go with curiosity, a lot of trial-and-error, and a supportive learning community.
