Sharing our Learning Pathways

As this is a networked course, meaning we are connecting beyond the learning management system, we will use this form to collect your consent to use different technologies and social media and to invite you to share your topics of interest.

If you would prefer to stay offline, please share your responses to all or any these questions with your instructor via email to diglit@uvic.ca or, feel free to contact your instructor to discuss how to provide responses in another way.

Please note SurveyMonkey is a cloud-based tool located outside of Canada. Entering your name here or on any of the aforementioned tools means that information and any other information you choose to share will be disclosed and stored on their servers. It is not practicable to identify where the servers are located for these cloud tools, except to say they are located outside of Canada (except Wordpress on opened.ca or on edtechuvic.ca and Mattermost) which are located within Canada). By submitting this form, you give consent to these terms. This consent will be valid from the date you submit this form and will not expire.

Question Title

* 1. What is your name? (private for your instructor and not for posting)

Question Title

* 2. Which lab section are you in? (if you have not yet registered in one of the labs, please do so now and come back to this survey)

Question Title

* 3. We ask that you create a username only on the Open EdTech Collective (OpenETC). Please visit their "Get Started" page and create a username (which can be your name, a username, or a pseudonym as per your privacy preferences). Do *not* do step 2 to create a site at this time. Once done, please provide your OpenETC username below. Need help? Post to "Tech Help" channel on Mattermost or email your instructor.

Note: This username will be used later to create a Wordpress blog for you to use for this course which will be hosted in Canada on BC Educloud. You do have the option of using an existing Wordpress blog or suggesting an alternative process to blogging, in which case you can skip the username step, and discuss the option with your instructor. Please note that you do have the option to set your blog to private (although the blog URL and blog title will be public) or you can set individual blog posts to private.

Question Title

* 4. We will be creating a blog for you using a template; however, if you already have a Wordpress blog you will be using, what is your blog address? (e.g., https://________)

Question Title

* 5. Are you ok with your blog address being shared publicly on the course website on a list of student blogs?

Question Title

* 6. If you opt for sharing your blog on the blog list on the course website, what identity would you like to provide next to your blog address/URL (e.g. first name only, first and last name, initials, pseudonym)?

If using first name, initials, or pseudonym, please contact your instructor directly to make them aware which blog URL is yours.

Question Title

* 7. If your blog is set to be public, are you ok with your blog posts being shared publicly on the course website under the learner blog feed?

This is like an Instagram feed, but would be an aggregated feed of blog posts by all learners in the course who opt to subscribe their public blog posts to the blog feed.

Question Title

* 8. Are you ok with your instructor sharing out your blog posts by posting them online (e.g., posting a link to your blog post on the course site as a good example, posting a link to a blog post of yours to a social media platform using a hashtag, or sending it forward to relevant professionals of interest)?

Question Title

* 9. What email address would you like us to use to contact you?

UVic recommends your UVic email address for university activity; however, you can change your preferred email address on your UVic MyPage. Note that your preferred email address will then be visible in Brightspace. You can specify on your MyPage whether Brightspace uses your personal email address or your uvic.ca email address.

Question Title
