•     “Hello!My name is Mink, and I am a fourth-year Econ student at the University of Victoria with a keen interest in the practice of learning design. My blog has led me to explore how learning design principles can be applied to networked and open online learning environments. I am particularly drawn to creating technology-mediated learning experiences that are grounded in learning theories, foster inclusive communities of inquiry, and leverage digital technologies effectively. Through my work, I aim to design learning experiences that align outcomes with assessments while promoting essential digital literacies and inclusivity for diverse learners.” Hope everyone can enjoy this course!!!!!!!!!!!
