LRNT 525 has been a journey of reflection and gaining new insight on leading in digital learning. A journey I fully appreciate as I feel that it has helped me grow in such a small period of time.
There are some perspectives that were reinforced by the literature offered in LRNT 525 that helped solidify my foundations and supported my view. It was reassuring to know that engagement is a primary factor in learning. I was very pleased to learn about higher education institutions finding ways to monitor student engagement, as I feel that it can help those that are struggling and to provide guidance. I am thankful for the learning toolkits as they helped spell out the importance of each important step in the implementation process. Sometimes, it is easy to miss one step. These toolkits are a reminder of thoroughness.
The information that I have learned through LRNT 525 has helped create a new digital learning initiative at my current workspace rehabilitating survivors of brain injuries. The final paper utilized toolkits to ensure a successful implementation.
With this knowledge, I plan to move forward towards implementing digital learning initiatives. My goal is to advance the current application of virtual reality hypnosis within clinical concerns. My intention is to include an electroencephalograph (EEG) for biofeedback, cameras within the head unit to gauge trance state, and a speech-to-text qualitative coding software (through Python) to analyze themes within an individuals subconscious. The EEG offers a baseline measurement of relaxation that can be tied to images and audio. If the individual is moving away from trance state, the EEG will recognize the movement from baseline and offer recalled experiences that created relaxation. As the individual speaks while in trance, Python programs data mines the associations through phenomenological analysis to suggest connections to the individual. This looping form of digital learning through biofeedback creates a reflective form of learning. In this way, the user is experiencing digital learning about themselves.
I am grateful for this course, and the knowledge that I have acquired.
Thank you.
