Communication, society and education

Today I start my first online course with , the site of Argentina’s Ministry of Education.  It’s called “Communication, society and education: Concepts and debates“. By now, online learning has become as much of a routine as f2f learning, the former being perhaps even more frequent to me in the last few years! Yet, this experience brings about two new challenges:

1. a new LMS… that always makes me just a little nervous…. I’ll need to look around and find my way! This time it’s e-ducativa… now, haven’t I tried this environment before?

2. it’s been the first time I’ve enrolled in a course that goes beyond “How to..”. See their welcome message:

 ”Concepto y tipos de comunicación, funciones del lenguaje, la codificación y decodificación como proceso, el universo del discurso, análisis y uso pedagógico de la imagen  son algunos de los temas propuestos en esta capacitación… La propuesta de este curso es brindar conceptos y modelos de análisis de diferentes problemáticas que permitan comprender los intercambios comunicativos que se realizan en la actualidad entre diferentes ámbitos y a través de las TIC.”

I guess it’s time I’ve started reflecting upon computer-mediated communication, apart from learning to master the tools… I’m glad about the new challenge I’ve set for myself, yet I can hear a soft voice in my mind wondering “Do you need another challenge???”

Let’s learn and live!
