Communication, society and education

May 22nd, 2006

Today I start my first online course with Educar, 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!

    Hi, Gladys,
    I’ve just started the course,too. i think mine is a mixture between theory and the how to.

    Dear Gladys,
    It’s challenges what make us move forward. Life IS a challenge. You have all the personal tools to be successful in this everyday trial. Unluckily time is very hard to find these days. But that is another challenge, isn’t it?
    Love,
    Claudia
