Thinking about ways to scaffold and improve digital suggestions to support.
This unit was useful to help understand how to move from extensive support over time to no support but the learner able to use ICT to become a independent learner.
Tricky
Thought provoking activity , good module , many thanks .
This module will provide food for thought to empower the digital learners. Their teacher should "specify the tools to be used at first, but her constant goals are to nurture self-reliance, develop independence and to move learners to take ownership of their own learning. "
This is quite a good module, I feel If learners are to take ownership of their own learning, I totally agree they need to be able to develop at least some of their own course content. However, with the problems that lockdown has created I feel many students do not have the confidence to do this and have been heavily reliant on their teachers
