Week 4 - Activity 3: Visual values
Week 4 - Activity 3: Visual values
Through your Personal Values Assessment (PVA) and your exploration of relevant resources, your own pedagogical values should now be starting to take shape. What we are hoping is that by now, you have identified at least one or two of your own pedagogical values and can identify a few specific things that you do (or don’t do) that reflect these values. This next activity should give you an opportunity to think a little deeper about this relationship between your pedagogical values and your online facilitation practice, as well as engage in some light dialogue with your colleagues about theirs.
We are using a Moodle forum where you will need to make a post before you can see the posts that others have made. This is called a “Question and answer forum”. We like this kind of forum for an exercise like this because it encourages each participant to be creative in interpreting the activity in their own unique way.
Instructions:
- Create: Create or find a visual representation of the relationship between your values and your online facilitation practices. When we say ‘online facilitation practice’, we mean what you do (or don’t do). This can be either current (for experienced facilitators) or aspirational (for both new and experienced facilitators). Your visual representation can be a drawing, a mind-map, a table, an info-graphic, or an image that represents a metaphor.
- Share: Post your visual in the Moodle forum with a brief explanation. Your explanation can be video or audio-based (2 min or less) or text-based (300 words or less). Where possible, mention which readings or videos helped or inspired you.
- Dialogue: Offer comments, ideas, interpretations, and/or questions that you have for other people’s visuals.
