So I passed my ICT in Teaching and Learning module with merit. Since this has been my field for the past 20 years, this is no more than one would expect. I wrote about my journey from JIC training to JIT learning through the affordances of ICT.

I was not satisfied with the quality of the work I submitted, but with the commitments I have, I wasn’t in a position to do anything about it and had to hand it in as it was. Judging by the tone of the lecturer’s comments, he was disappointed that I didn’t earn myself a distinction. I read his feedback to my 15 year old son who summed them up beautifully by saying “You wrote a little about a lot, and you should have written a lot about a little.” That was it, in a nutshell. I tried to cover 20 years of experience and insight in 3000 words. Mistake.

One point that was made, however, was that it read like the start of a promising dissertation. Just as well, because my plan was to do a dissertation along rather similar lines, so I’m happy for the serendipitous vote of confidence!
