Option: mapping their personal learning network on day one and day 10. Paper, post it notes, pens.

Step 1: Think for a minute of who you learn from and with. What does that mean? People you go to with questions? People whose recommendations you trust? People who are “experts” on something? People you like to have conversations with? Jot down these types of learning interactions on a piece of paper.

Step 2. On small post its of color #1, write down the name of people you learn with from. Write your own name on another color and put it on the flip chart paper, then arrange the other post its with the people you learn with/from the most closer to you and those less – positioned further away from your name.

If you learn only from them, draw an arrow from their post it to yours. If they learn from you, put an arrow from you to them. If it is reciprocal, put a double ended arrow. On the arrow, describe the type of interaction.

3. Show your map to someone else and ask they to tell you want they notice about it. If their questions cause you to alter the map, do so.

Repeat at the end of course. Compare.
