I’ve completed my masters, more specifically the Master of Digital Learning Leadership. What I like about it the most is that acknowledges and values the needs of working types like me by recognising the stuff that I do at work – this makes sense for a postgraduate degree. There were a few introductory units but they’re designed to help me complete the qualification not hinder.
The research component
In 2018, I successfully completed EDX701 Research Design Development and Method, which required to submit a literature review and a research plan for an education research area of interest.
In 2019, I successfully completed EEE726 Digital Learning, Design and Assessment, which examined principles and theories of digital learning, including the role of digital technologies and professionals in contemporary educational contexts. For this unit, I completed five short online courses and submit a Digital Learning intervention plan and a Professional practice action plan. Exciting stuff!
The final research paper
I undertook my own research and then produced a 12,000 word response – a final research paper titled ‘Our course could be your life(style): Tales of MOOC revisiting learners 2015-2020’.
The practical bit (credentials)
After some time away, I returned to my studies and completed ten Professional Practice credentials: Communication, Critical Thinking, Digital Literacy, Digital Learning and Digital Learning – Discipline Specialisation. These badges are also available on my Credly profile.
Academic transcript
The following academic transcript provides dates and details of what I did and when, and even how I went – the transcript is also available on My eQuals profile.
