Utilizing Kolb's Reflective Observation, my group really came together to try and figure this out. Our backgrounds as a group are so different but I noticed how we came together to make sense of what I would consider a new topic for us.
To start with, we are social learners and find value in collaboration, encouragement and personalizing what we learn. In many ways, this is what works for us and how we want to carry on with our learning. I know my best work is created with others and not myself. Looking back, most of my success has come with the help of others. It's such a dynamic value that we thought out and a very important instructional value to remember. The cause and effect is we are influenced and go on to influence others, so do it right!!
Epiphanies this week?? Hmmm. didn't have one. But check back because my mind tends to race and something divine may hit me!

The social nature of learning and the value of it is often put to the test when designing e-learning b/c it often seems easier to design instruction that doesn't include social components. But like all values, there is a time and a place for everything. When you analyze the instructional problem, the situation, the environment, the learners... it might make sense to incorporate, it might not...
