Learning activity 1: Introduction. Deadline: February 23

Note:  This activity is done individually

Write an introduction of yourself in the  Start up discussion  - discussion forum in the Study Module 1. In the introduction post, you should make an essay that answers at least the following questions:

• What is your educational background, the current status of your studies and the previous experience you have about learning environments?
  
• What are your expectations towards the course and the motivation to complete this course?
  
• In your own opinion, give at least 5 reasons why it is important to learn about smart learning environments? 

Think about the best learning experience that you ever had. Can you reflect what was it like?

In my personal opinion, the goal of good learning environment is for learners to emerge from the learning experience with fresh ideas and improved capabilities that they can apply in the real-world; that support them to perceive the world differently, and sustain them to do the things they need or want to do. How can smart technologies, smart pedagogies and smart contents support students' journey from unknown to known and from novice to expert? 

In your post, also share your personal opinion about the prospects and issues related to the application of new technologies in developing enduring learning experiences for learners. 

Due date: Sunday, February 23, 2020, 23:55 Finnish time (GMT + 2).
