Comparing the 3 statements in exercise 7.1, some professional values are clearly identifying me. For example, my professional values are:
- Respect towards the learners and my colleagues.
- Being committed to your profession and to your responsibilities as a professional.
- Being innovative for supporting learning activities and being able to distinguish when to use the appropriate one in each learning case.
- Committed to understand the learning process, meaning that being up-to-date of recent researches which examine a changing student body and how this can be best supported.
- Having the knowledge of the subject material of an appropriate standard.
- Always supporting and guiding the learners
- Offering quality learning to the learners
The above are more or less the same requirements for a HE lecturer. Adopting and having such values and others that might apply for other colleagues in the e-learning field is a good start for being professional and continue to develop other values or develop further the existing ones.
