I've gotten out of the habit of updating this blog. Main reasons are probably being busy with other stuff and finding this course so hard to relate to.
But for this last month I'm going to try to make an extra effort. (If I remember!!)
Part 1
Once I was able to write about an actual elearning professional in my "professional" context the exercise became easier to relate to and focus on. It became doable.
Part 2
A major pain was identifying all the evidence/forum messages. I had a pdf with 189 pages of largely repeated messages - i.e., new messages that included the rest of the thread. And I was to blame for a lot of that content! I hadn't systematically filed away the messages as they were produced or soon after. Lack of time and the benefit/need of hindsight in categorising the evidence were probably factors.
I think I would have found it easier (and would have used fewer words) if I had written in the 1st person. Emma asked about this and Robin replied positively but saying she should confirm with her group tutor. I thought it too late to go asking for and waiting for confirmation and simply needed to get on with it.
Overall, I need to stay on track and start preparing for the ECA from now. I definitely shouldn't leave writing till the last week.
So I sent in TMA02 a couple of days ago. I was planning on writing "yesterday" but it seems that my blog took a day off for Christmas.
Just under a month left now. Good.
I can see now that it was a mistake to enroll on H808.
I read the papers but I don't get the point... and I can see that others do.
I'm kind of going through the motions now, kind of waiting till this hole I've dug myself just disappears at the end of January.
Will I get at least 40%? I hope so...huge waste of money if I don't. Can I even see that what I'm reading - can't bring myself to call it learning - can be of use to me in the near future...not without further study...study for study's sake.
So why did I call this post "Mistakes" when I've only mentioned 1 mistake...?
