Hello Karen,

Thank you so much for sharing. I read your post on open pedagogies. I find it interesting that you use your own experience to be an example of the integration of open pedagogy. And I really enjoyed your explanation as it helped me to have a better understanding of your topic. Your experience of using OER really get my attention, I wish I had a chance to use such accessible resources for the courses I had, that could have saved me a lot of money on education. With that amount of money, I couldn’t even imagine how many snacks I could get at my young age. I really feel sorry for the fat belly I couldn’t get after reading your blog. I also learn how creating an environment of easily accessible education could help to teach pedagogy. I learn a lot from your blog. Great post! Thank you!

Hello Carla,

Thank you so much for sharing. Your post on experiential learning gives me a recall of a nightmare of an endless loop of doing math solving problems before the exam (alright, it was just a 3hour loop). It was at a night before an exam, one of my friends decided to sacrifice a night of sleep and introduce a learning method that is really similar to the method you introduced. Regardless of how much pain this learning method gave me, I have to admit that it actually helps me to understand better on those problem sets, after each time I finished a problem my friend asked me to think, reflect on the problem, I mean, he even asked me to solve that question with a different solution. Due to the fact that he sacrifices a night of sleep to try to help me, I could not reject him. Anyway, as a result, I fully understand the problems of those problem sets (at least that is what I thought). Thanks to my friend and his learning method, I gained so much confidence for the other day’s exam. However, in the middle of that exam, I encountered a stomach problem that made me swear to not eat certain food again in my life. Well, that is another story to tell. Anyway, your blog on experiential learning is really interesting to read, and the video and the podcast really help me to have a better understanding of experiential learning. Thank you for such a clear explanation. Great post! Thank you!
