We have completed our #RRUMALAT online debate. That experience has highlighted weaknesses with my academic writing. As a result, I am researching more information and I have made appointments with RRU’s Writing Centre. I am looking forward to those sessions.\u00a0 I did enjoy the process, getting to know team members and doing the research required to support our arguments. Here is Scrum Post 1 Pro – The Motion.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n
Scrum PRO – Organisational Structures vs Managing<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 There may be an inclination to blend organisational structures and managing digital learning environments (DLE). By using the words interchangeably, one becomes ambivalent instead of making the effort to fully understand the two elements.<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The organisational structure of DLEs and managing DLEs run parallel to one another; both are equal unto themselves. Structures follow modalities. \u201cStructure refers to the relations between the components of an organised whole. Thus, the structure concept can be used for everything\u201d (Ahmadya, et., al., 2016). In the spirit of learning, there is also a progression of these organisational structures where \u201clearning in set\u201d may lead to \u201clearning in groups\u201d and then \u201clearning in network\u201d where \u201clearners are loosely tied into a \u201ccooperative freedoms\u201d (Dron & Anderson, 2014, p. 66-67reference).<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Managing is a science with applied supporting theorems. \u201cScientific principles represent basic truth about a particular field of inquiry. These principles may be applied in all situations, at all times & at all places\u201d (Juneja, 2015). For example, gravity is gravity no matter where you are on earth. Having these principles also means managing can be measured and quantified. \u201clearners appreciate continuity in online learning experiences\u2014having similar learning management systems, standardised course structures and interactions helps them feel familiar and comfortable with the learning environment\u201d (Lee et., al., 2012).<\/span><\/h5>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Organisational structures support strategy through functions and managing follows through, making sure those functions happen. Structure is the thought; managing is the action. Because clear and consistent rules are applied, regardless of the type of structure chosen, the elements are equally applied. Managing DLEs requires the same methodology; applying the science therefore managing DLEs remains equal.<\/span><\/h5>\n
