A new semester and the Networked and Global Learning course is running again. Apologies to those in the other courses I teach, but this course is consistently the most engaging and interesting. It’s a course in which I typically learn as much as the other participants. However, due to the reasons/excuses outlined in the last post, I haven’t been able to engage as much as I would have liked with the course.
This has me thinking about something Adam wrote, in particular the argument/observation from Rovai (2002) which Adam describes as
This is bringing to light the sense of disconnection students are often experiencing due to physical and psychological separation from teachers, peers and institutions
What follows is some random reactions to this particular quote and an attempt to connect it with my teaching.
