Congratulations on your new job. I personally believe that the best way to learn is to be under the same roof or platform with people who are trying to achieve some goals using the skills you wish to learn. All the best Dan!

Comment on UoPeople – Week 7 – How I Start my Week by Dan Fletcher

Hi, glad you’re interested! I’m not sure if I’m authorized to do that – but I can give you a few links and let you know what the course is about.

The first unit, is about getting to know the school, getting familiar with the learning environment (Moodle), and school policies. When I took it last year, the first assignment was a scavenger hunt. You’re asked to find different information pertaining to the school.

After that, the rest of the course is heavily based on learning strategies, such as note taking, reading, and learning the APA 6 format used in assignments. You can learn APA here: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

You will also learn about plagiarism, and how to avoid it, you’ll learn how to validate information you find for your papers, and you’ll learn about resources for finding academic journals, and how to use the open source library available at UoPeople.

Here’s a few links from the learning materials that you can go over:
http://www.nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/bloom.html
http://www.lc.unsw.edu.au/onlib/pdf/assignquestions.pdf
http://www.missiontolearn.com/self-directed-learning-success/
http://www.valrc.org/tutorials/onlinelearner/organization.htm

There are many many resources for this course. It’s built up from a lot of different online sources, unlike other courses which usually have a main text book.

So it’s very difficult to show you all of the content in the course. However the contents of this UNIV 1001 is crucial. If you plan to study at UoPeople, you should plan to focus a lot of your time and energy on it. The skills and strategies you learn from this course are going to be needed for the next 4 years and onward.

Cheers!

Dan

Group created…name is about as cheesy as it gets but it’s all I could come up with and can be changed later. Scope it out and let me know what you think. Once we’re happy with it, we can make it public.

Sounds good to me If you don’t have a group set up by the time I’m on later tonight, I’ll send you an invite, and we’ll go from there!

We could create the Yammer group and then just set one up and see who shows up…if people see they are happening with some regularity they might speak up and suggest a time that would be better for them?

Thanks so much Doug! Your trip to NY must have been an awesome experience, I’m jealous! As for Skype/Hangouts, I’ve seen quite a few other students try to make attempts at organizing meetings, or study groups. Maybe we should make a group on Yammer for people interested? I would be up for it! The problem is always finding a time that works for everyone’s different time-zones lol – Thanks for the comment!
