Welcome to Week 11: Self-Guided Learning
Everyone, everywhere participates in self-guided learning at some point in their lives. A problem, question or issue may prompt curiosity, motivation or purpose for learning something new. Self-guided learning research focuses primarily on the adult learning marketplace but elements are applicable to all ages and stages of education. Self-guided learning takes place in formal, informal, non-formal and self-selected environments. This week, the focus is on a self-guided exploration of self-guided learning. Autonomy, mastery and purpose are built into the activities, events and tasks. Take control! Be responsible for your own learning experiences! Reflect on your learning. Enjoy the learning journey, alone and together!
Allan, Danielle, Jody, Helen, Ronna and Todd now welcome you to the ETEC 522 Self-Guided Learning OER and look forward to learning with you!

Hi Self-Guided Learning Team,
I am having difficulties replying to the discussion threads on the wiki page. I have tried signing in but the system said I was not authorized to do so. I was just wondering if you could give me a hand. Thanks!

Hi Danielle,
Thank you for the speedy reply. I have signed into my account but for some reason it is still not working. Perhaps I will try a bit later. It might be issues with the security setting as I am at work right now. Thanks for your help. I will definitely ask again should I still be blocked when I get home!

Hello team 11.
Great work on the content. I am really looking forward to the rest of the activities during this week. Jack Mezirow’s teachings on self-directedness and transformative learning are of particular interest to me.
Thanks for bringing up the technical issue related to participating in the discussion Sherman. I encountered the same problem. Thanks for looking into this Danielle.

Hi Leonora and Sherman,
We’re sorry you are having difficulties. Note that you do not need to be a member of the wikis to participate in the discussions, you just need to be signed into Wikispaces. For the “Your Venture Analysis” page and the “Venture Pitches” page, anyone can add content and no sign in is required. These pages are separate from the main wiki to enable editing by non-members.
If you are still facing problems, please send me your Wikispaces username and email address to norrisedanielle AT gmail DOT com and I will send the issue to Wikispaces support (which is excellent btw! For a free service, they are very good and taking care of technical problems quickly!).
