For this response post, I have focused on Sherry Gu’s blog post #1 about Digital Learning and Privacy.

Sherry, it’s great to see how your Health Information Science studies combine technology and healthcare! Your explanation of distributed and open education makes it clear how these approaches provide more flexibility and accessibility for students. The idea that distributed education helps reduce stress by allowing students to learn at their own pace is something I really relate to, especially when balancing other commitments.

I also like how you prefer blended learning, as it offers the benefits of both in-person and online learning. It’s a great way to build connections while still having the convenience of online flexibility. Your point about digital literacy being essential, especially with tools like Brightspace and Discord, really shows how important it is to be confident with digital tools in today’s learning environment.

I admire how you manage your digital identity by keeping your personal and professional lives separate online. It’s a smart way to maintain a balance between the two. Good luck with your final year!
