Getting to Know You CPTP 104

GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER

Hello CPTP 104 MY SMART LEARNERS!!! 

Welcome to the Principles and Methods of Assessment class. 

The mode of the study in our course is guided independent study with some collaborative learning in the form of "synchronous" and "asynchronous" online discussions and other learning activities. 

"Synchronous Learning" is an online or distance education that happens in real-time. 

"Asynchronous Learning" or not synchronized or not occurring at the same time through offline modalities or online channels without real-time interaction.

Learners in an asynchronous discussion log in and post their contributions to the discussion whenever they wish to, instead of conducting the discussion at the same time as in a chat or video conferencing. However, there is a specified number of days for each discussion forum and everyone is expected to join the discussion within that period. We will agree when to conduct our synchronous learning if you are ready to finalize the schedule as we are expected to have a maximum of four (4) sessions for that. 

Meantime, our first activity for this course is to know one another. Let us share information about ourselves: 

• Name
• Nickname (how you want to be referred to)
• Educational Attainment/ Discipline
• Work Background 
• Present Location
• Expectations (from the course, faculty, learning strategies, etc.)
• Other relevant information that needs to be considered in the course (social roles performed, learning conditions, etc.)
• I expect each learner to post one separate response to this forum. But you are also very free to comment on your co-learners posts. 
  

I look forward to a lively discussion and fruitful learning in this class. 

God bless everyone!
