Students’ views and perspectives

Are the course leaders happy with this usage?

What I wanted to do with the data vs secondary research with the data based on time r […]

The Action research plan came to my mind as an expansion of the Artefact and some personal observations of how the technical space is used. I wanted to quantify and qualify the usage distribution […]

I found the parallel that you’ve drawn of conscious behaviours and acting quite interesting. I wonder how those exercises would look like if we pushed the students to create scenarios where they enact / feel the discomfort often described by people of colour when entering spaces that don’t feel welcoming, or get the feeling that…Read more

Thanks for popping by!
I really appreciate that comment since is a similar reflection I ended up working on when writing my artefact.

It does make me think about how approachable I am perceived and that is something I want to try to work…Read more

I find your post quite interesting specially as it reads to me differently from what you presented earlier, on our in person conversation.
If I understood correctly, you mentioned that you mainly reflected on material you studied on, without bringing much of your personal journey and challenges in the blog posts. Yet, your first line…Read more

The main focus of the morning workshop was to reflect and understand how teaching is motivated by lived experiences and acquired knowledge. We talked about what is relevant to know in order […]
