LET’s Learning Journal E – Final Presentation

Nothing feels better than finishing a project!!!

But teaser first. Here is the poster we made to “disclose our project”

LET’s Learning Journal D – Learning Environment

In a previous entry, I have mentioned the concept of “Learning Environment” which refer to the whole (each and every) channel and source of information from which a learner draws information for his/her learning.

Located at the centre of modern society, this educational environment heavily relies on technology, digital, and the internet as a basis. The mean and mode of learning varied significantly, and followed that was the type of information and assessment method (if any; i.e. if a person decides they want to know more about the tiger. He or she can search for that on Google, Youtube, etc. There is no formal assessment offered, but that does not diminish the fact that they have learned something new). In terms of creating educational material on these channels, though, educators still need to consider the instructional design in order to enhance individual learning environments.

LET’s Learning Journal C -Programming and Robotic in Education

Over the last month, in our Learning Environment & Technology lesson, we were given the opportunity to experience robots and programming. This is a particularly important and substantial part of the course, and several materials were introduced.

LET’s Learning Journal B -Maker Workshop with Essi

A project-based learning event using hands-on applications to create an educational board game!

Spoiler of our team and our final project~

LET’s Learning Journal #6 Identify critical instances of CoRL with Learning Analytics

While applying for the LET2021 programme, I have already had established research interests in individual development and learning-supported technologies like AI pedagogical agents.

LET’s Learning Journal #5 Where do I see my future career path?

2019 for me was a year of changes and uncertainty. In the current of leaving my unfulfilling yet stable job, taking on the role of teaching English, and attempting to deepen my understanding of myself I happened to meet Vy. Vy is a Chevening* alumnus who has been trying to build a ground for academic freedom in Vietnam and making progress. The story that led Vy to pursue this course has been one that is personal to Vy but was something that I and many students have lived.

LET’s Learning Journal #4 Values, Ideas and Social Context of Education

If in previous lectures in the Orientation course, I was fascinated with all the empirical, ongoing research in the faculty and within the Education field in general, then this week’s presentation by Dr Kimmo Kontio is like a refreshing and crucial step back into the foundation of the building that people are building: The Theory and Philosophy of Education Research.

LET’s Learning Journal – Walk The Talk

This week’s Scientific Grounding session was definitely among one of my favourite activities so far. We started the task by watching two videos prepared by two researchers in the LET Unit: Muhterem Dindar and Eetu Haataja explaining the main concept on “The evolution of human cognitive architecture”, “Metacognition’,’ and reading the two articles related to the concept. Following that were two team discussions which were allocated randomly so we would have a chance to discuss the concept and prepare questions for clarification. 

LET’s Learning Journal A – Personal Learning Environment & Content Curation

So this week we have a self-studied session on the concept of Personal Learning Environment as well as Content Curation. These interestingly are the two things that we have been either exposed to already been doing without realising the technical term or having proper awareness to fully appreciate and exploit it further.
