Join us for a brand-new FLO MicroCourse: Developing a Personal Learning Network (PLN). A PLN is part of lifelong learning to help you develop a community of practice to grow your skills, abilities, and toolbox with peers. This topic builds participants’ digital literacy/learning to become more connected to peer facilitators and keep current on developments and best practices in the context of learning and teaching in post-secondary education. After this one-week course, you will be able to:

  • Describe the benefits of establishing networked connections.
  • Identify a current PLN.
  • Impart strategies for developing and maintaining a current PLN.
  • Pass these strategies on to colleagues and students.
  • Experiment with social media to build a PLN.

While most of the learning will happen asynchronously, optional synchronous sessions are planned for:

  • Monday, January 16, 12:00–1:00 p.m. PT
  • Thursday, January 19, 12:00–1:00 p.m. PT
  • Friday, January 20, 12:00–1:00 p.m. PT

The required participation time is estimated to be eight hours for participants (three hours to complete required activities and five hours for optional activities).
