I was brave and enrolled in the Postgraduate Certificate in Digital and Collaborative Learning! This week I have been involved in two online Zoom meetings where we learnt about the overview of the courses and the tools to engage with course content. I am really excited about participating in this course and learning new theory and skills that I can apply to my practice.
Session 1 - Tuesday 14th April 4,00 - 5.00 pm
This session was primarily about making connections. We started to get to know each other and go through some activities to help us learn how to navigate Zoom. We the discussed the social contract that will be in place for our online sessions to ensure that everyone gets the most from these online interactions. We then had an opportunity to share our expectations of the programme, and learn about the overview of the programme structure and content. During this session we were allocated to a group so that you we could begin to make personal links with other students and meet The Mind Lab facilitators.
Session 2 - Wednesday 15th April 4.00 pm - 5.00 pm
In this session we learnt about the tools that we will be using throughout the programme. The tools are the Portal, Slack and the Google Site of support information for using a range of software.
