Hi there,

This is Millie and I’m a third year psychology student at UVic. I’m an international students from Beijing, China. One important reason I take this course is that I’m hoping to minor education, this is one of the required course. Other than that, I find online course is easier for me to manage my time and I’m able to control my own pace of learning within the due date. Moreover, the online environment provides us with an open learning space for all learner. (For example, anyone can share resource and learn from each other with the Twitter hashtag EDCI339.)

It is essential for everyone to understand the digital privacy and security, FIPPA, and acceptable use policies of educational institutions. It helps students to ensure their privacy are being kept safe. Also, their personal information are only being collected for designated purpose only. Therefore, this is an essential aspect of distributed and open learning.

I’m really excited to be in this course, can’t wait to meet/know you all virtually!!

Best,

Millie
