Hi Jenny et al,
I did my footprint this morning and while I was doing it I completed the comments table on each factor. Using the table was very useful since the factors really acted as a prompt for me to think about what was happening and my own experience of each factor.
The course that I "mapped" was a 2nd year undergrad fully online course in digital media and culture. It was a 12 week course condensed to 6 wks and there were over 500 registered (and paying) students. So, this course was not a MOOC and each student was required to fulfill the course requirements for completion. I was motivated to take this course for two reasons: i) to upgrade my own knowledge and skills regarding digital media and culture thus wore the hat of a "paying student" and ii) to wear the hat of a "designer" as I was more than curious as to how this instructor had designed the course, how it was being delivered and not to mention the assignments, feedback, interactions etc. etc. It was a whirlwind to say the least!
I did my map based on my "recall" of the course. No doubt that I might have a different map if I was to do the task of mapping in consultation with another or a group where we might discuss each factor while doing the mapping. I found myself sort of "guessing" what the factors mean so the map is a reflection of my own understanding at this point in time of the factors.
Anyway, it was fun to do this and will do more!
cheers,
Barb
