About the Course

This learning opportunity is an open-access resource for lifelong learning. The aim is to identify the value and implications of using established and emerging technology tools for personal and professional growth and acquire strategies to develop lifelong learning habits to keep pace with technology change. This course is targeted to the needs of ALL learners, including college students, faculty, current and career-seeking professionals, and anyone from across the globe with a desire to learn how to use emerging technologies to succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. This project consists of two associated parts; #EmTechMOOC and EmTechWIKI. #EmTechMOOC is a Massive Open Online Course, also called a MOOC. The MOOC is hosted on the Coursera platform and provides a supportive environment for dialogue and sharing among participants. The MOOC course environment is structured around 5 modules. The concepts that are covered include Lifelong Learning and the 4Cs of 21st-century skills: Communication and Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. Participants create digital artifacts through Discovery Exercises within the modules to showcase their learning and accomplishments. The final module encourages learners to summarize and reflect on their learning journey. EmTechWIKI ( http://suny.edu/emtech ) has been built to complement the MOOC. It is a socially-curated discovery engine to discover tools, tutorials, and resources such as audio, video, blogs, social networking, simulations, and more. The WIKI can be used as a stand-alone resource, or it can be used together with #EmTechMOOC. Anyone is welcome to add or edit WIKI resources. #EmTechMOOC is not a traditional MOOC. Instead of providing content-heavy information, this course guides participants through discovery-based learning that is under the control of the learner. Learners are prompted to locate and explore new resources and tools from the growing EmTechWIKI collection and the Internet to help meet their personally identified objectives. Participants reflect on and share their learning and discoveries through the creation of a public ePortfolio or a personal learning journal that is constructed through the module exercises. Complete the course requirements to earn a Coursera Certificate of Completion and a digital badge. SUNY affiliates may earn badges and a Coursera Certificate with no fees to enroll....

I would really like if the moderators could check our pages in a more timely fashion. For two of my pages, I had to wait over two weeks to receive my badge. I need the badge for my class in order to receive credit for my work, so it was very stressful.

Besides that, the course was very interesting and full of great information!

The course has relatively little content, it's great that it challenges and tells you how to do new things, but every now and then there are a lot of formalities, pasting links, etc. Overall, the course was not bad but its design in itself caused me to lower my rating from four to three.

Relies heavily on learners taking initiative and building a credible portfolio.

Did not match my expectations. This is just a couse to say there are lots of tools out in the open, explore and use. This is basic sense. Not sure what I gained from the course.

Its an exciting concept and interesting. The best part is sharing the link to the Wiki style resource. But is really very basic, because creating artifacts are optional. The quizzes seem to test more your ability to use the SUNY platform, than what have you actually learnt as take aways, and will apply. Too much overlap with other course, of higher qaulity. In fairness, I did not participate in the reflection discussions or create artifacts. I personally have experience with that, for those that maybe have zero experience, they'll enjoy and have fun on this course. For anyone else, with even a smattering of digital experience, this course is not suitable. It does not even cover, emerging tech like Data Science, AI, Robotics, The Ethics of these Technologies, Tech in Agricultute or Space Manufacturing etc... truly cutting fields of Emerging Tech.

It can be fun, but isn't a particularly useful course.

This course is not what I expected. Also, I was disappointed that, despite Communication being listed as one of the 4 C's, there were several errors in the grammar of the text in the Introduction reading. It seems like a word processor should have caught those, or someone at Coursera who read it would have made that correction by now. It makes it difficult for me to believe that I will learn much from this course. I will drop this course.
