An individual digital footprint plays an instrumental role in being selected for an interview or being hired. Students need to start building that digital portfolio early in their educational journey to transition into career. 

Managing technology use effectively can enhance learning. What students are using outside the class can be used inside the class. It connects to the idea of AI usage. Students are using AI outside classes, so it is important for instructors and institutions to develop strategies to integrate AI in instruction. 

Compassionate Engagement: It is important to remember that many students are dealing with challenges as they might be working multiple jobs, taking care of families, and dealing with other personal challenges. Based on specific cases and situations, it is ok to provide support in form of time extension or scaffolds such as meeting with student individually to provide guidance. 

One valuable take away from the course's content so far is that assignments need to be designed in a way where student feels invested in their learning. 

The role of extrinsic motivation is to reach intrinsic motivation. 

When learners have autonomy, the learner is engaged in the process. 

Student evaluation and course evaluation need to include multiple measures. 

Using rubrics and creating assessments purposefully for formative and summative assessments are essential to evaluate not only student understanding but overall effectiveness of the instructional program. 

I learned that building relationships as well as providing the necessary scaffolds is important for students to meet learning objectives.
