Dear Participants,
Thank you for signing up for this workshop on Technology Enhanced Learning.
I will be presenting and referring to material directly from this open access blog during the workshop.
https://medicaleducationelearning.blogspot.com/2023/07/technology-enhanced-learning-workshop.html
I have requested that this blog be shared with you one week before the workshop. Please take around 30 minutes to browse through the material, and read further into what catches your attention, or you feel might be relevant for you. We will have the opportunity during the workshop for you to ask questions, and to have an interactive discussion.
Warmest regards,

Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and Micro-Scholarship : Making Major Moves one micro-step at a time, Accessible and Available to All, using Open Education Resources and Open Digital Practice
Poh-Sun Goh, 2 August 2023, 0658am, Singapore Time
How can we make learning, professional practice and development, and scholarship accessible and available to all?
Whether a new student, novice practitioner, or early scholar?
We offer the following 'recipe' and process:
We learn in small bites (bytes). Taking small (micro-) steps. Small (micro-) efforts.
These add up, accumulate, compound and cumulatively, with instruction, guidance, reflection and feedback, supported by a practice environment and Community of Practice (CoP) lead to progressive mastery - knowledge, skills and attitudes (heads, hands and hearts).
Technology tools and platforms, and (social-professional) networks, institutional, organisational and loose CoP networks, support and facilitate Learning, Practice and Scholarship.
What does a single small step, of Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and Micro-Scholarship look like?
How does learning and training science inform and support these practices?
Consider one unit, one (modular) piece of knowledge or skill. At its most granular level. For example one concept, it's definition, how to use and apply it. One illustration. One demonstration (of a skill). Add a single (or more) instructional idea or tip, a single (or more) reflection, and example(s) of application to form a unit of individual Micro-Learning, Micro-Practice and through open engagement and (digital) practice Micro-Scholarship.
Each unit, each (modular) piece is ideally #Reusable, #AcrossPlatforms.
As educators, and learners, we can support and facilitate this process through a systematic process to #Curate (with attribution) and #Create #Content, in an #Accessible #OpenAccess #Document, #Website(s) or #DigitalRepository. #AtHand and #Accessible.
We See (are exposed to, and observe), Do (explore, practice with guidance, reflection and feedback), Teach (including peer teaching and sharing, learn through recall, explanation, elaboration and recall), and engage in Scholarship (through documenting, writing, producing e.g. creating, curating, combining, integrating, applying and using - teaching and sharing; the Scholarship of Discovery, Integration, Application and Practice-Teaching [Boyer], with intentionality and informed [Glassick] and through open (digital) practice [Shulman]).
We learn, practice and engage in scholarship in small steps, using small units of content, modular pieces of knowledge. Which add up. Accessible and available to all, using Open Education Resources, and through Open Digital Practice
