it's all learnable
This sub-category pools together the artifacts related to courses taken as part of the MET program at UBC.
This was the final course in the MET program, and I am glad I waited to take this course until later in the program. After providing some grounding in epistemology, this course focused on Constructivism and its application to teaching. While I found the initial (Philosophy/Epistemology) portion of the course...
The Research Methodology in Education course is a core course in the MET program, and it serves to introduce students to the different approaches to research used in this field; focusing on quantitative, qualitative, and action research. The intention is to give students the tools necessary to become better consumers...
This was one of the first projects in the MET program for most of the members of my group. As a result, we did not yet have much background in the application of technology to pedagogy. We thus focused on presenting content in a way that made sense to us...
This course was unlike the others I had taken in the MET program – it didn’t really deal with any pedagogy or direct application of technology to teaching, it dealt a lot more with the administrative side of educational technology in an organizational context. Being exposed to the institutional perspective...
To me, one of the more useful exercises in ETEC 512 was the Lesson Plan Assignment. Not having had any formal teaching training, I had no experience developing lesson plans – my lessons were generally planned out in my head, and they generally involved lists of things I needed to...
One of the first assignments in ETEC 510 was the production of a stop-motion video for the course wiki. Because it was my first video and I didn’t feel comfortable voicing it (too many “um”-s and “aah”-s), I chose to do it in the form of a silent film. One...
As my partner and I worked on our OER on Self-Directed Learning for ETEC522, we needed to plan some activities for our fellow students. We would need them in order to be able to host a week-long interaction with the educational resource we were preparing. We planned to release various...
The lesson plan assignment in ETEC 512 allowed me to put the materials we had been studying into practice. The assignment asked us to analyze a lesson plan from the perspective of the various learning theories covered in the course. As I did this, two things occurred to me: I...
The group assignment in ETEC 510 gave me a chance to explore and present the concept of Semiotics to the class. This was not something to which I had ever given much thought before this project, so I looked at it as an excellent learning opportunity. Since semiotics is all...
The main group project in the ETEC 565M course was the production of an OER dealing with Digital Assistants and AI. One of our aims was to identify ways in which artificial intelligence was quickly becoming part of our daily lives, as well as some of the directions it could...
