Before the webinar by David White, I watched David’s short video on the concept of Visitors and Residents on YouTube. This seven minutes’ video briefly walked me through the notion of “digital natives” v.s. “digital immigrants” put forward by Pensky (2001), arguments for why this metaphor is flawed and David’s alternative proposal of “Visitors & […]

Sharing and openness is with no doubt obvious feature of open learning. However for many of us it seems really difficult to come to terms with this fact.

To become digitally literate is more difficult for people who didn’t grow up with digital gadgets

Posted on April 13, 2022 by Jonna Vocke

For me there is a long way to go to become digitally literate.
