Very much liked this unit. Made me think of new ways learning can be made more creative.
Good insight into personalisation of learning.
Good
Valuable information on personalised learning pathways.
very good ideas about use of alternative and additional learning to supplement the courses
I would have liked some more ideas on ways to create personalised learning paths
.
Lacked a little in content
Straight forward and logical.
Useful ideas on how time, place, path and pace of learning can be made more flexible.
The sorting activity was useful and prompt to thin about other differences characteristics between personalised and 'mainstream' learning.
Good!
like all learning, it is better if there are no distractions, phone call from work, hence the rubbish score, however I could have restarted the module, will revisit at a later date.
It is a basic introduction. Would have liked more information on this topic though
It's a good example but somewhat specialist - it's worth saying a lot more about the scope of simple things to personalise learning pathways - effective use of the VLE to provide alternative case studies, alternative option modules, differentiated resources, text based .v. video based explanations etc. Giving learners choices is one of the hallmarks of good VLE practice. It would be good to reflect these mundane things as well as the more specialised considerations in the case study.

Practical prompting for many of us to reflect on.
