The next section in the TOOL MOOC explores the concept of the ideal DLC. Some of the questions posed are:
- What are the DLC’s characteristics?
- An ideal DLC would be one that engages the learner, allows the learner to work at their own pace, and offers some feedback as well. Varied learning activities will keep the learner actively engaged while moving through modules that build upon one another.
- What features of the DLC would set it apart from and above others?
- The ability to offer quick feedback would be one feature that would set it apart from others.
- Up to date information would be another feature that is important in today's ever-changing digital world.
- What qualities would potential citizens of such an enlightened online society need to possess in order to gain admittance?
- Potential citizens of an enlightened society need certain qualities in order to gain admittance in the ideal DLC. These qualities include but are not limited to the nine elements of digital citizenship:
- Digital Access: full electronic participation in society.
- Digital Commerce: electronic buying and selling of goods.
- Digital Communication: electronic exchange of information.
- Digital Literacy: process of teaching and learning about technology and the use of technology.
- Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure.
- Digital Law: electronic responsibility for actions and deeds
- Digital Rights & Responsibilities: those freedoms extended to everyone in a digital world.
- Digital Health & Wellness: physical and psychological well-being in a digital technology world.
- Digital Security (self-protection): electronic precautions to guarantee safety.
As usual, I enjoyed reading your blog. I particularly found the part about digital commerce interesting. Do you think that digital commerce is ideal in a MOOC?
