Learning Without Limits

Hi,

Now I want to talk about turning your brain into a multi-tool, shall we? You know how we were gushing about transferring MOOC or Microcredential credits like magical learning tokens? Well, it's still cool, but like any good adventure, there are a few "level-up" rules we need to know.

Think of it this way: you can't just slap a sticker on your forehead and declare yourself a ninja master. Universities, need to make sure your skills are the real deal. So, they've got things like "course alignment" (making sure your learned skills match their courses), "credit value" (because not all brain-bytes are created equal), and, of course, their own university policies (because, well, rules are rules). It's like a slightly organized treasure hunt, but with brainpower as the prize!

Now, speaking of treasure hunts, guess who's been recruited to help map out this educational wonderland? Me! I'm currently working with the Centre for Development of Academic Excellence (CDAE) on their Flexi Lifelong Learning Scholar program. Basically, I'm one of the trainers, and I'm diving headfirst into the exciting world of developing MOOC Guidelines for Credit Transfer across multiple Malaysian Higher Education Institutions.

Yes, that's right! I'm helping to create the roadmap for this credit transfer adventure. Think of me as your friendly neighbourhood learning navigator. My mission? To help make sure your learning journey is smooth, fun, and totally legit. So, get ready to flex those brain muscles, because we're about to make learning across Malaysian universities easier than ordering your favourite food online! (Though, let's be honest, that's a pretty high bar.). Stay tuned for more updates, and let's make some learning magic happen!

Trainer bootcamp. First meeting.

Second meeting.

My team is responsible for developing inter-institutional credit transfer guidelines for MOOC.

Show and tell time. We need to evaluate each other's presentation.

Alright, picture this: As the trainers, we have been handed the keys to the MOOC kingdom, and our mission? To turn Malaysian universities into a credit-transferring, learning wonderland! We're not just writing guidelines; we're also designing the future of learning. So, here's the game plan: after crafting these magical guidelines, we're going to be training MOOC developers across the land! Think of us as the MOOC Sanseis, imparting the wisdom of credit transfer and engaging online learning.

Now, here's where it gets personal. I'm partly involved in MOOC development at the School of Mathematical Sciences, wrestling with equations and trying to make calculus look cool (a challenge, I admit!). So, this training gig is like a double win for me. Not only do I get to help shape the future of learning, but I also get to level up my own MOOC-making skills. It's like a self-improvement seminar disguised as a super-important mission!

Basically, I'm hoping to learn all the tricks of the trade to turn my math MOOCs from "meh" to "mind-blowing!" Who knows, maybe I'll even figure out how to make derivatives funny. (Okay, maybe that's pushing it.) But hey, with this training, we're going to make sure those MOOCs are not just credit-worthy, but also seriously engaging. Let's make learning so fun, people will forget they're actually learning!

Bye!
