The first topic in the ONL202 course is on online participation and digital literacies. The focus has been on identifying ourselves in the digital space, how literate (or accustomed) we are with the digital tools available, and how we use those tools in our daily lives. The motivation for this seemingly is to know ourselvesContinue reading “Digital Personality (ONL202 Topic 1)”
