Final Reflections

The end of the road….or is it?

The time has come for me to reflect on my uosm2008 journey. In order to facilitate my critical reflection, I will employ Gibbs (1988)’s reflective cycle model. This is broken down into the following phases: Created by Filipek (2018) on Canva The reason I picked this strategy for this reflection is that perhaps the road never comes to an end…I don’t think I’ll let this experience be a one-off, and I’ll certainly be blogging and learning again.

My Final Reflection

This post marks the end of the journey that was UOSM2008: Living and Working on the Web. The unorthodox way of learning wasn’t something I thought I would initially enjoy or find beneficial. Additionally, I did not think writing blogs would be something I would like but this whole experience has been one that is both very eye-opening and grossly valuable to myself. Continue reading →

It’s been a great journey, farewell UOSM2008!

According to Gibbs (1988), the act of having an experience is not adequate on its own. It is imperative that individuals process their thoughts and feelings because without reflecting there is the potential to forget (Gibbs, 1988).  Therefore, reflection plays a critical part in the learning experience (Gibbs, 1988). My journey throughout the UOSM2008 module has been thought-provoking, beneficial and educative. Continue reading →

The Quieter You Are, The More You Are Able To Hear

“Our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.” (Don Williams Jr. 1968) A common adage that is unhelpful at best, and incredibly irritating at worst, yet true nonetheless, particularly when the destination doesn’t exist in the typical sense. Sometimes setting goals for ourselves is easy and we have measurable achievements, but sometimes we undergo a process with no well defined endpoint: Learning. Continue reading →

Unlock the digital society: And it will go on.

Summer is approaching, meaning that another chapter of my academic life, which involves UOSM2008, has come to an end. It was full of surprises, challenges and valuable knowledge. To have a systematic reflection on this journey, I decided to adopt Gibbs’ strategy (1988). How I met this module? (Describe) The Internet world is a paradox – it is transparent as everything is made visible to your eyes, yet it keeps the mysteries in every corner. Continue reading →

Goodbye UOSM2008, Hello blogging. Final Reflection

UOSM2008 has been a module like no other, learning was focused on the interactions with the online world, whilst gaining new skills and writing in a blog-style. To critically reflect on this module, I will adapt Smyth’s (1989) ‘Reflect on Action’ method to critically evaluate and reflect this journey. Describe What have I done throughout the module? This module was unique in the fact there were no lectures, no exams. The method of assessment was through a regular blog on different topics. Continue reading →
