The Learning Process

Lesson three highlighted something I have noticed about distance learning.  Given an assignment and asked to comment on it, if you are not one of the first out of the box, it can feel like you are being repetitive, so one has three options:

• Get the work done first.
• Embrace it and accept it is part of the online experience.
• Either go drastically off topic or perhaps push yourself to think of something that you otherwise might not have got to.

This might not be that relevant for the TL aspect of this course, but as a DL teacher it means something to me.

I must say that I am a bit excited and anxious to move onto the next module.  I think we now have a foundation, including mostly that organization goes well beyond Dewey and cataloguing.  I think this might be an area of strength for me.  Nonetheless, it seems that it is that inevitable time to get down to the practical cataloguing part.  This I think will come less naturally, but perhaps is so much more important because of it.  Here we go!
