It is my hope that throughout my learning journey in the Online Learning and Teaching Diploma (OLTD) program I gain the knowledge and skills needed to create engaging online learning opportunities for my students. I plan on expanding my repertoire of online teaching tools and learning how to evaluate appropriate online learning resources and activities for my students. It is also my hope to gain practical experiences teaching online. It is also important to me that I gain experience with course design and implementation.
It would be wonderful if upon completion of the OLTD program I had made connections with my fellow online teachers that span the length of my online teaching career. Their advice and support is extremely appreciated and, I think, necessary for the growth of the online learning community. A collaborative tool used to share our thoughts and newfound tools or tried and tested online activities would be a great legacy to start as the first cohort of the OLTD program. This would not only benefit our cohort, the OLTD students following in our footsteps, but also the outside community of online educators. At this point in my OLTD learning journey I wonder how I will create an engaging and meaningful online learning environment for my students. I have chosen this as my inquiry project and will be researching it over the length of the OLTD program and I am sure in some capacity for the rest of my online teaching career.
