Hi Everyone,
We are starting Unit 3 today, can you believe it?! The last one of this course. This unit focuses on futures, in a similar way that Unit 1 focuses on histories. There is one activity this week, intended to help you with starting to think about the final assignment. This of this activity as an informal way to begin working on your final assignment. It's intended to be a sort of a stepping stone into your assignment. When you visit the unit page, you'll see that there's a number of readings available. Instead of reading all papers for the activity, you are asked to skim them all and then pick one or two to read for this week's activity. This should lighten the load a little, but still enable you to begin working on your final assignment by completing Activity 7.
Live sessions:
In terms of this week, we have a synchronous session booked in our calendar for Thursday Oct 10th 4:00 – 5:00pm pacific time. We will spend some time following upon the readings to date, speaking a bit about AI in relation to the final assignment and having a general discussion re: the method of speculative futures.
Our next synchronous session is scheduled for Oct 23rd 4 – 5pm pacific time. You will have completed Activity #7 by then and will have spent some time thinking and writing the final assignment. We will use this session as an opportunity to check-in, chat about assignment #3, explore some topics related to the future of education and meet your LRNT 524 instructors and talk a little bit about what to expect in LRNT 524. I'll send a reminder closer to the date, but if you're available please add this time and day to your calendar.
On a side note, I am thoroughly enjoying your Assignment 2’s and will aim to have my feedback and assessment to you shortly. As always if you have any questions or need anything from my end, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Have a fabulous week and we will speak soon.
Ciao,
Elizabeth
