I really liked your breakdown of distributed and open education, especially how you highlighted accessibility. The flexibility of the models offered is useful, but I wonder if there are any disadvantages, such as reduced interaction or difficulty in staying motivated without a structured schedule.
Your section on digital literacy and digital identity was also really solid. Managing an online presence is more important than ever, and I think your approach of only posting things you’d be okay with an employer seeing is a smart way to go about things. Personally, I think that schools should put more emphasis on teaching digital literacy, especially when it comes to the link between social media use and future online professionalism. Do you think this should be a greater focus area as well?
Let me know what you think 🙂
I really enjoyed your discussion on distributed and open education, especially how you pointed out that some subjects are better suited for in-person learning. I agree that hands-on courses, such as labs, can be more difficult to integrate into an online format. Do you think that there are ways to improve digital learning for these subjects, or do you think it will always remain more difficult to implement?
Your take on digital literacy was also interesting. The pandemic definitely enhanced a lot of people’s online skills. Since you mentioned being fairly digitally literate, do you think there are any areas where online learning is just more difficult to complete or stay engaged in?

I really liked your discussion on distributed and open education. Your example about students in rural areas or those with full-time jobs was a great point. It is a good reminder of how these models can remove barriers that traditional education cannot. Do you think certain areas of open education are comparable to traditional learning? For example, while free resources are useful, do you think they always match the quality of paid textbooks or university courses?
I also liked your approach to digital identity. Keeping personal and professional accounts separate seems like a smart way to balance privacy and networking. As I am also interested in psychology and counselling, do you find LinkedIn to be useful for making connections?
Looking forward to your response 🙂
