Hi my name is Michaela Wilkes
and I’m your Senior Lecturer for the Preparation for Tertiary Success course
you are studying through the
Australian Centre for Indigenous Knowledges and Education (ACIKE)
ACIKE is the name of the new partnership between Batchelor Institute
and Charles Darwin University
and through ACIKE
you will have a wide choice of interesting study opportunities.
This unit, Learning Identity,
is a core unit in both the Preliminary and Advanced levels of the
Preparation for Tertiary Success course
and in 2012 you will attend a one and a half week face to
face workshop for this unit.
After the workshop,
you will continue your learning journey online
through LearnLine which is where you are right now.
Learning Identity is the first unit in your PTS learning journey
and helps you rediscover yourself as a learner.
It’s all about helping you grow your own ‘learning power’.
Learning Identity is the foundation unit which supports the learning of all
the other units in the PTS course.
Now I can hear you asking
‘Just what is this ‘learning power’?
And how do I develop my learning identity?
As you enter this unit,
you might have different ideas about yourself as a learner
– some positive and some a bit unsure,
and right now
you might be wondering about this learning path you need to take?
Well…
in Learning Identity you start by asking yourself this question
‘What’s it going to take
for me to be a successful learner
and make the most of my learning power?’
you will learn about lifelong learning
– what it takes to be a strong learner all your life.
Your lecturers will ask you to think about learning and topics
from both Aboriginal and Islander perspectives
and western perspectives.
There are many practical hands-on activities in this unit
such as:
using an online questionnaire to discover your learning strengths
and the areas you need to work on;
exploring your own learning stories;
and working on activities to strengthen your academic learning skills.
On the Learning Identity home page,
you will see a picture of the campuses
where this unit is being offered.
Click on the campus where you are enrolled
to see who your lecturer is and the best way to contact that person.
I hope you will enjoy this journey of discovery
into you, your learning power and finding the answer to the big question…
‘What’s it going to take to be successful in your study and career?’
Bye and good luck!
Thank you.
