The end of the course, the beginning of digital life.

Final Reflection on BEMM129 Digital business models.

The course of digital business models is nearing the end, and my learning of knowledge has also ended the first stage. Thanks to the variety and fun of the course format, I learned a lot of new skills and knowledge. This is my first experience of MOOC and such an attractive course, which also gave me the motivation to continue learning related knowledge. Next I want to review my gains and experiences.

What did I get?

Ability to write a blog

This is my first attempt to build a blog and manage it. The writing form of a blog is different from academic papers, and more intuitive and vivid language and expressions can be used. I also learned how to typeset and design pages to better help the text to express my views. I also mastered practical skills such as designing web pages and making videos.

MOOC knowledge

The MOOC contains a lot of knowledge related to digital business. Unlike academic articles, the content of MOOC has many practical cases, videos, and interviews make knowledge easier to understand and apply. Each course page allows comments, so I can learn about other students’ ideas and express my opinions in this way.

Learn through communication

In my previous studies, I always focused on academic resources and teacher feedback. However, the experience in this module made me discover that the communication with my classmates can also bring a lot of new gains. They have amazing ideas and interesting expressions to give me a deeper understanding of the subject. Through comments from others, I can know where there are errors and where can be better. Questioning can keep people awake and make progress.

How have my values and study methods been impacted?

Thanks to this module, I learned that there are many methods and resources for learning. In addition to reading the literature, we can also learn by watching videos released by experts. Our peers are also our resources for acquiring knowledge when we cannot understand everything. Everyone’s strengths and ideas are different, and communication can allow us to see a broader dimension.

Video about the future plan

The essence of social learning is to share and exchange resources with peers, so as to achieve goals more efficiently. The experience is precious and useful. I will learn more digital skills in learning and work. This course will be the new beginning of my learning experience.
