Final reflection on the module

I based my reflection on answering three questions: What?, So what?, and Now what? (Reed and Koliba, 1995). What? The module, E learning in Health Science Education, gave me an opportunity to engage with e learning literature and peer conversations in order to apply the knowledge gained in my own working environment. Feedback and conversations on blog postings by my peers and facilitator facilitated my understanding of the process of implementing e learning as a component of teaching and learning activities. The blogging furthermore assisted to improve my reasoning skills, in terms of my decision to use the specific e learning component in the blended learning approach, I decided to choose. The literature brought me back to the fact that the world of teaching and learning is different today than what it was a few years back, and indeed are the students different. So what? I learnt to use the clues from my peers, articles referenced by them and their ideas and experiences to build upon. The active participation between peers and facilitator, team networking and resources sharing assisted me and motivated me, although it was a bit quiet at the end and the chat room was deserted... The ADDIE model gave me the starting point which I needed on this journey of discovery. Now what? Now I can use my new knowledge and understandings to implement e learning activities, even if it is on a small scale, to promote e learning and lead change in the working environment.
