Well, I am back from having a break. I plan to update this blog more often. Currently I'm taking my third course in the Master of Distance Education program at Athabasca. The course is Master of Distance Education 603: Foundations of Instructional Design: Systems Analysis and Learning Theory.
I just completed my first major assignment which was a killer. It was a two part assignment 1)use one of Banathy's lenses to examine a distance education system and 2) use Checkland's soft system analysis to analyze a problem situation in a distance learning system. Second part was a killer and I think I butchered it. Checkland's model involves using a lot of abstract concepts and, pardon the pun, the abstractions drove me to distraction.
I'll try and post some updated links to topics I am covering in my course. I'll also try and post some citations of articles I have to read.
