With regards to my own visitor-resident typology map, considering professional practice does not change where my current entries fall, but rather causes more to be added (e.g., printer, digital camera, etc.). Unexpectedly, Cormier\u2019s post did cause me to reflect on digital practices and \u201chow digital a particular practice really is\u201d (para. 10).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Cormier\u2019s question on whether email is a digital practice led me to liken this to the nuances that must be considered when defining digital learning. Recently, I interviewed a former colleague for an assignment in LRNT 525. The topic was about leadership and change management but framed in a digital learning context. When I was asked to define digital learning, despite being 3 courses into the MALAT program, I wasn\u2019t sure exactly how to define it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Sousa and Rocha (2019) concede that digital learning is complex, and define it using Kyndt et al\u2019s definition \u201cas an unplanned and implicit process with unpredictable results using several types of technological devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, and others\u201d (p. 328) \u2013 so does this mean that MALAT synchronous sessions aren\u2019t digital learning? On the other hand, Warschauer (2007) acknowledges that digital learning \u201crelates to how students learn\u201d (p. 44) \u2013 so does this mean that students in a classroom using a digital practice (e.g., computer) are solely in a digital learning environment?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">I hope as I progress through this program I will be able to find the answers to these questions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">References<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif\">Cormier, D.
