Topic 3 post

After I finished reading, I had a better understanding of open education. In essence, open education provides students with a more equitable way to ensure that every student has the right to higher education. According to the examples in the article, even in today’s North American continent, more than half of the students are still unable to enter higher education because of economic problems. This phenomenon will be more pronounced in developing countries. So how to build a more effective open learning environment? According to the description in the article, students should be allowed to build their own course content settings, including the setting of exams and learning goals. This can more motivate students to learn. From my personal experience, I can feel that in high school During this period, our teachers will let us build the content of the classroom, teachers will also ask us to create our own problems, and we need to find the answers to our own problems. This teaching method also better drives our enthusiasm for learning. On the other hand I also learned about data redlines in education. I can understand that in many countries and regions, governments or public organizations restrict the information searched on the Internet, and many contents cannot be displayed. According to the description of the article, many community college students in the United States are treated unequally. Compared with those in normal higher education, community college students are limited in data search. In my personal understanding, in many cases , the shaping of students is also influenced by regulators to a certain extent, and what kind of students a government or institution needs to work for is influenced by its ideology to a certain extent. This will greatly limit the individual’s thinking and growth, which is a great constraint for the individual.

    Thanks for the post! You’re exploring some difficult topics. Had you considered the concept of digital redlining? Have you tried to access journal articles at UVic only to find out the university doesn’t have a license for it? Can you imagine if that was the case for almost every journal article? How would that impact your higher education?

    Hi, Boyue

    Thank you for your sharing. I quite agree with you that students should be allowed to set up their own course content so that they can plan it according to their own preferences and at their own pace. In this way, students can improve their ability of independent thinking and self-learning rather than just remembering all the answers given by the teacher.

    Thanks for your posting. As you say, the supervisor is very important in shaping the student, and I also think that the requirements of the teacher and technology for me will affect the final learning outcomes, whether face-to-face or open learning.
