In the process, I learned

Digital Learning Technologies, as it stand out aimed to anyone who wishes to learn how to teach or educate, train, uplift to someone’s skill or knowledge with the help of electronic, digital media.

I did not learn this. In fact, I learned much more than the definition of DLT. The lectures were discussion on various subject related topics and the blogging exercise was the base, on how the integrity and the instrument called Blogging works.

The criterion of privacy in electronic media and how to integrate VAKOG (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic, olfactory and gustatory) in DLT with the ‘neuro’, ‘linguistic’ and behavioural ‘pattern’ - NLP affects to the study performance of an individual were must for the subject. 

I understood the VAKOG and NLP are the requirement of  emerging individualised and ubiquitous demand of learning from current social and economic structure.

The research on ‘Four Pedagogy’ reviled that how its' been related to all stages of development in learning system and method where the core is- the establishment of truth.

The learning with DLT will have long lasting impact for the fact of co-relating each LO to practical life. The approach of self-finding at 7 level, sometime becomes, bit too much for the fact of  time consumption, but the outcome it generates, is always engraved to memories.

The experience of practical learning using ‘Adobe Connect’ was worth to have, for the current and future requirement of sharing knowledge or training or education on global level.

According to my understanding, the core emphasis it gave on was for understanding and strengthening the fact of ‘Change’. I knew the fact that change is the only constant phenomenal on this earth, but it all depends on us how we react to it and how we accept it. 
The technological advancement has brought a changing milestone in learning system, with opening of great opportunities too. 

As all change does carry a package of total impact, some par of it is positive and some not flavoring  It is our nature to accept only positive, but the study of DLT has given a rise to an understanding that we have an inner capability, if used or focused on, which can turn the negative of unfavorable impact to the positive side.

And more I knew different technologies, used and useful in DL; the count of positive outcome to all stack holders at all stage of and in all segments, strengthens the notion.

The vitality (Changing and emergence of various DLT) was 
  • the demand of new skills, and in many case it is simply 
  • converting current skills to the technical parameters.  
Initiation to the change is widely a tough process, but at the end, brings ease and flexibility.
The presentation from Joyce Seitzinger, gave an in-depth understanding of 
  • how to manage the bombardment of changing technologies, and 
  • keep pace with it, 
  • by selecting and establishing PLN – Personal Learning Network. 
The knowledge is good, but the overflow of it, can disturb life – mentally and socially too.

The joint session with Stephanie Day, was much awaited and indeed gave me a methodical way to develop the material to teach, with the help of these technologies. 

The understanding of 
  • ADDIE -Analysis, Designing, Development, Implementation and Evolution and 
  • OTARA – Object, Theme, Assessment, Resource and Activity, model will be the foundation in future life, where developing any model of training or teaching will be easy.
The foundation for the second assignment, not I will say the time for practical experiment of the system learned in the process of this ‘Blogging’ was well set.

We’ll look at practicality of how learning and literacy is symbolized in widely held digital-, (or cyber-) philosophy, and will discover how that links with the ideas and creativity we are seeing in our project, unfolds’ in our tactics to digital education.

Yet I did not learned much..... as learning is a process, not destination. 

But yes, it was the great time with you Michael and will rest as a a part of precious memories of life. Thank you.

The morning session, finally, conveyed a pure emphasis on understanding vital of the course-‘Digital Learning Technologies’ and the second assignment as a part of it.

Up till now, we learned how to use diverse technologies for ‘Digital Learning’, but the methodical way to cultivate the material to teach, with the help of these technologies, was unknown.

Thanks to the combine effort from Michael and Stephanie Day.
An understanding & postulating the base of ‘Developing Digital Learning Course’ was must for the academic purpose as well as future profiling.

The process of Analysis, Designing, Development, Implementation and Evolution - ADDIE, were well brief by Stephanie, with the water flow approach to the process.  I found it similar to the process of developing any system and procedure to evolution. It is the ‘necessity (problem) still mothering the innovation’.

No problem – No innovation – No Growth – No Progress- No Life
The tool ‘OTARA” is different to ‘ADDIE” for its approach. The water flow approach with ADDIE, - step after step, is not the case with OTARA – OBJECT is identified- the process of ASSESSSMENT is establish-the THEME worked out- the RESOURCES identified-established ACTIVITIES.

While knowing the value of time and need of quick availability of LO (Leaning Object) the most popular tool of current time is Rapid Prototyping.
After gathering core information for LO- which is common to rest of two OTARA & ADDIE, every following step from ADDIE or OTARA is evolved with prototyping, which helps in establishing a standardisation for the rest of LO, to assure quickness for the remaining LO.

I understood that both (OTARA and ADDIE) with adoption of RAPID approach will assure
  • A well investigated subject for online study,
  • Where a clearly define way and process of evolution is derived – A prototyping with RAPID
  • After designing a vibrant process for the learning object– A prototyping with RAPID
  • Producing the content using define technology and tools – A prototyping with RAPID I
  • Implementing the procedure of training or learning by teacher for student – A prototyping with RAPID
Form the very first step of implementation, assuring the steps designed for evolution to update and advance the Learning Outcome– A prototyping with RAPID

The concept of OTARA was worked out as a group work in the afternoon session, where a technology for Digital Learning was selected and evolved in accordance with OTARA principals.

The session on 25th March 2013, brought a clear understanding on a scientific approach to the process, procedure and current practice followed in developing Digital Learning course material.
