Some six or seven years ago, your words became my inspiration, when you visited our Island for a Conference. I was really amazed with your work and propositions. So I followed my inspiration and decided to try to emulate your doings, although not having the same resources available as you do. So I improvised and initiated my graduate students in authentic environments for learning. Now they learn by performing as if they were already experts, while solving real educational design problems. We work as a team. And they know that what they do is a product which will be subjected to public and expert scrutiny. In one course, for instance, they had to design a course in Moodle on training evaluation. So it was expected they would learn the content while researching and designing the course, while I provided coaching and scaffolding. The course was to be presented to the University's Center for Faculty Enrichment and Educational Technology staff, as they are in charge of approving any new redesigned course to be used with Moodle. The experience had its goods and bads, but it was an amazing learning experience in general.
