Briefly reflect on our group assignment. First, we are old pros by now and simple take each group assignment with ease and divide the task quickly into subgroups or pairs. There is always one expert, who is responsible for summarizing the assignment and finally it is snazzed-up and sent to our tutor.
This time around I had the pleasure of working with ez-Maddin.
I think it is extremely important to also have one-on-one meetings with your peers on-line. Since we hardly have the opportunity to meet personally, this comes close to getting to know someone a bit more.
We were responsible for the first part of the group assignment and decided to get the job done asap and met on Monday last week. We skyped and typed on GoogleDocs as we spoke. We hadn’t prepared a lot beforehand and simple took our time on-line. I must say I enjoyed working on this assignment and had fun creating our little scenarios. This not only gave me the opportunity to work closely with another person, but it also was nice to hear the thoughts and ideas about this and the other. And of course, sharing our views on the development of e-learning and in particular ez-Maddin's media project on mobile learning.
I was thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with a “real” instructional designer on this assignment. I don’t think I could have done a much better job without him. And this brings me to my final words. Collaborating in a group will always offer you a lot more than you would be able to deliver by yourself.

We’ve a great bunch of professionals all offering our commitment and expertise, and that’s why the group assignments work so beautifully.
Thanks to the ez-learners!
Dear Regina,
ReplyDeletewhat a nice reflection! Sounds like a Maddin-Promotion! I hope, I will have the pleasure of working with ez-Maddin anytime, too!

Hi Regina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for a great blog entry. I really like how you mention the importance of working in partners while learning. The ez-group work is very good, but working one-on-one is generally more intensive and can really deepen the learning that is initiated in the larger group exercises.
I hope you are enjoying your vacation in sunny Florida!
