More on Diplocalendar 2012 that explores in both a serious and lighthearted way, some elements of interpersonal relationships and management that can help in daily activities.
The subject for the month of April is Reputation.
“Reputation differs from credibility. It deals with the perception of others, built over a long time. A person may have a ‘good’ reputation for being inspiring, or a ‘bad’ reputation as someone to be feared. Reputations can travel far without us ever moving. We hear of a person’s reputation before we ever meet them, or see them. ‘Their reputation precedes them.’ It does not take much to lose a good reputation but once lost, it is likely lost forever.”

The subject for the month of March is Credibility.
“Regardless of our position in an organisation, credibility is fundamental to our effectiveness as professionals and as individuals. Without it there can be no trust; without trust, organisations become frozen in inactivity and negative feelings. Credibility is hard to build, but well worth it.“

Do ‘digital natives’ learn online differently than ‘digital migrants’?

28/02/2012 /

Hannah Slavik of Diplofoundation comments on a recent study of Open University of Catalonia (UOC) titled:Learning in Digital: An Approach to Digital Learners in the UOC Scenario.

Hannah says that the study “suggests that there is no significant difference between the way ‘digital natives’ and ‘digital migrants’ study online. This is an important finding at a time when online learning is increasingly used, both for mature learners (in the trend towards life-long learning) and for net generation learners, within traditional university programmes.”
