Contribution to My Learning
and
Learning Community

In this reflective analysis, I justify my self-assessment score, capturing my unwavering commitment to self-directed learning and delineating my contributions to personal growth and the broader learning community.

 

5317 Resources Digital Environments.

5304 Leading Organization Change.

​

   Looking back on these classes, I can say that I appreciated the experience. I understand the synergies, the flawless mesh of courses where they fit together and support one another. As I step ahead into unknown territory, I manage with the knowledge I attain, doing the best I can with what is within my reach in anticipation of welfare.

 

In Course 5317, our team constantly discussed and analyzed mainly chosen digital learning resources to assess their feasibility and effectiveness. We devised a tentative structure for the publication that focused on using these digital resources in one project. After that, we focused on creating an outline of an initial approach to convey how the digital resource was applied in the context of education. We also made a presentation that would be a podcast or a video to ensure that our audience sees and hears how beneficial such resources are for learning. Last of all, we combined our data and analysis to develop the final report we wanted to present. It was an actual discovery of a new me and approach to my profession, proving that teamwork is a key to innovation in our educational practices. For me, it was a journey of professional and personal development.

 

In Course 5304, Our work focused on applying leadership theories and practices to become self-differentiated leaders who can address the inevitable resistance to change when launching innovative digital learning initiatives. Students will apply leadership theories and practices to become self-differentiated leaders who can address the inevitable resistance to change when launching innovative digital learning initiatives. Such cooperation made it possible to create the necessary and relevant assessment approaches for our extensive student-based digital learning experiences. Additionally, we all identified and evaluated numerous web-based resources and expert services, strengthening our ability to examine and improve online learning contexts. In this course, I learned how effective teamwork is to develop knowledge and enhance action research in education.

 

One of the most transformative aspects of my journey through EDLD 5304 and EDLD 5317 has been forming a vibrant learning community. Observing and learning from my more experienced teammates has been a game-changer. Their work not only inspires me but also provides me with tangible guidance. This peer learning dynamic has deepened my understanding of complex topics and broadened my horizons by exposing me to diverse perspectives and methodologies.

 

Key Contributions:

Reflection on What Works and What Can Be Improved:

Across all the courses, the reflective activities I participated in always assessed my input and showed my commitment to growth and flexibility.

​

Core Collaboration Group:

Detecting my activity within the core collaborative group, which consisted of Neylly Guedez, Francys Machado, and me, Joyce Torres, was valuable to all the members. It was very beneficial due to the inputs obtained from our deliberations and activities, which integrated people’s views.

Revisions and Reflections on Assignments:

Revisiting assignments and reflecting on the process of reviewing an assignment showed how committed I was to the sort of work I was doing and how much I was learning.

Completion of Course Requirements:

Completing every reading, video, and other supporting resource meant knowing all aspects of the content and providing evidence of my efficient time management and dedication to the class.

Accelerated ADL Option Reflection:

Incorporating reflections from the “Resources Digital Environments” course 5317 and the “Leading Organization Change.” course 5304 into the Accelerated ADL option highlighted how these works are connected and the differences made by their combinations. It is important to admit that some concepts might change with time as I learn new concepts in the subsequent courses.

 

Supporting Contributions:

Leadership in Base Group and Course:

Thus, although technically, I was not a leader in any official capacity within my base group or the course, my active participation consisted of actively contributing ideas and offering constructive criticism. Considering leadership as an area for development fosters the desire to enhance these competencies for better relational contributions in improved collaborations.

Active Participation in Activities and Forums:

Submission of work beyond expectations and interaction in different course activities helped create great debates. This proactive engagement is not only due to some annual and obligatory continuing education needs but also from a true interest in the subject.

Quality of Postings:

More specifically, the level of thinking was evident in the forum posts, where participants included references, supported their posts through empirical literature, and cited according to APA guidelines. These postings, which did not require much research, helped add to the richness of the learning.
 

Additional Reflections:

Impact on Deepening Discussions and Clarifying Concepts:

Explaining ideas via phone and Zoom and being active on WhatsApp encouraged more elaborate discussions. Some of them included sharing phone numbers in case of any emergencies to ensure that there could be proper communication in distance education.

Personal Evolution Throughout the Course:

The accomplishment of this journey required much of my attention and effort. Every activity had its sense and made us start a trip of a new change in one’s life. As both courses build upon each other and are founded on this innovative plan of mine, I combined the two for this self-assessment.

 

Overcoming Personal and Cultural Barriers:

Beginning the process of exploring life outside my comfort zone, especially when I could not be tech-savvy, was an exciting and challenging experience that helped me realize how strong I am in terms of my ability to deal with obstacles. Here, we have a direct call for a critical approach to assessing life, where one is encouraged to evaluate the nature of their environment, whether nurturing or creating barriers to success, which is very appropriate given the current situation.

 

I could reach the so-called gigantic growth experience only with the support of two excellent teachers. Their professional demeanor and management style were demanding and provocative. As for the class dynamics, something was engaging in it, and I endeavored to follow its pace. I was active, asked questions, and ensured I was punctual because each time I left the sessions, I would have a new resource that made my learning process much more productive.

 

Commitment to Continuous Learning:

As I write this paper, I want the readers to be assured that I am always willing to learn and grow and that this apex of knowledge is a constantly growing process. I am happy or rather curious to know which direction this takes me. Thank you for having me be part of this program.

 

Self-evaluation:

5317 and 5304 can be a set of courses that complement each other and have positive cross-effects. Each class has its readings, theories, and tasks, but they all go hand in hand. This strategy is very effective as it enabled me to incorporate and execute what I learned, and I always aimed to reevaluate and polish my work according to the opinions. As a result of this connection, one learning assessment contribution is made.

According to the assessment and predefined criteria, I have the following qualifications: When taught together as two connected units in a scheme of work, it was eight weeks of collective purpose rather than two distinct episodes. That is why I put each grade equal to each other and typed the following:

 

Resources Digital Environments 5317 98/100

Leading Organization Change 5304  98/100
