first post<\/a> in the course, I stated that digital literacy and fluency are essential for leadership in the digital learning environment (DLE). They speak to competency and forward-thinking leadership qualities, closely linked to intelligence, reflection, self-awareness and caring. I still agree that these qualities are necessary for a leader in a DLE. However, as we went through the scaffolded sections of the course and began to make linkages, I can also see how a forward-thinking leader uses data to inform, lead, and manage change. In this respect, I think forward-thinking is the most critical leadership quality because leaders must be aware of what transpires and flexible to pivot and change when necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe one thing that resonated with me in this course is the pace at which DLEs evolve and the ethical implications of how we use data in a DLE. In particular, how do we perceive and use learning analytics, and what biases are created or used when analysing this data? What is the data even telling us? A topic I will be exploring further.\u00a0 I teach ethics in tourism and hospitality, but this is a new ethical perspective to geek out on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where do I see myself in the future- I am unclear. I want to venture into instructional design and\/ or learning technology. I learned from this course that I have much more to learn about being involved in educational projects and their system, but I would benefit from hands-on experience and mentorship. \u00a0I have aligned myself with a few key people to volunteer\/shadow on a few projects once I finish this program in August. I believe that will guide me towards what I am best suited for. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
