Critical Inquiry Research Log #2

May 6th – May 10th 2018

Focused on completing team presentation on curated video library Lynda.com (see below for our infographic).

May 14th – May 19th 2018

Viewed other team presentations on their respective modalities. Noticed that while modalities and issues examined were different, the strengths and challenges were very similar across the board. It seems many modalities use some form of video lecture and therefore the issues of cognitive load and access, among others were prevalent.

Completed Lynda.com course in Photography Foundations: Composition. Found it to be a good resource for those who wanted to learn photographic composition as an interest or brush up for more formal learning (see post Critical Academic Reflection #2 for more information). While there is a downloadable certificate at the end and the ability to post your completion on your LinkedIn profile, the lack of a formal evaluation piece leaves me wondering whether I’ve actually learned everything that’s been taught in the 5+ hour video course. I may take some pictures this summer to find out.

Time for actual research into the literature has been lacking, and therefore will be more prominent next update.
