Lorraine Thornton | Graduate
Having worked within education & training for my entire career, my focus has always been on the learning achievement of someone else. So, when I recently undertook this course the learning focus was this time on me and it felt good. Becoming a student again in a topic of choice is always a positive first step and I found it exciting & rewarding. Exciting for the vast technological options and supports you can use to support in the learning experience and rewarding for how it can enhance the learning experience within the classroom & online. The course was structured in such a way that I was constantly learning about new software & learning resources whilst being able to apply it to the fundamentals of adult learning. The lecturers were so supportive and at Level 8 empowered us to take the lead in our learning – either through navigating our way through the virtual learning environment or the effective learning resources provided. Come graduation day, I truly felt special. The feeling of achievement when putting on my graduation gown & hat and subsequently receiving my parchment will stay with me forever. Never underestimate how good a learning achievement can make you feel!
