Do you know the Canadian Nobel laureate that was influential in theorizing congestion charging as a means to reduce negative externalities associated with traffic congestion? Have a look at the attached infographic to find out more. #Canadians #Canada #CBC #Toronto #DidYouKnow

Are we doing enough to keep Toronto's air clean and its transport networks efficiently used? Have a look at my presentation please to see what method I support: https://t.co/XSBRh4Nznk @JohnTory @Kathleen_Wynne @cityoftoronto

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

Our cities' highways and roads are increasingly clogged with automobile traffic. Such conditions result in declining air quality, increased risks to pedestrians and cyclists, and many other negative outcomes. What do you think should be done to reduce traffic?

Agreed Cody, social media is essential to the success of many businesses. https://t.co/qLHHB02z0D

[Cody Morin @EM203CMORiN]

With the growing presence of social media, businesses need to use social media to attract, market to and engage with existing and potential customers.

Is congestion charging likely to be implemented in a Canadian city? It seems Vancouver is seriously considering this strategy, yet according to one poll the public is only 35 per cent in support of paying to drive in and out of downtown areas.

Traffic congestion causes both environmental damage and social harm, as @TheEconomist highlights. https://t.co/Um69UWU24F

Traffic congestion carries high economic costs as well as emotional ones https://t.co/1VDD63EzRR

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

According to the Institution for Transportation and Development Policy traffic congestion is best eased by regulating parking and charging motorists for driving at peak hours and in city centers. See: https://t.co/BqmPZlvQgT #EM203Research

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

Ride-sharing technologies no longer a valid solution to easing congestion? #EM203Robin #EM203Research https://t.co/8awqb6sjuU

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield Yes, we've come a long way in our discussion. I am happy to conclude that constructivism encapsulates the learning I have found success with. Although it's fair to mention that a lot of what I do overlaps with behaviourism, cognitivism and even connectivism. Thanks for the chat!

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield I agree, we seem to be continuously encouraged to engage socially in our process of learning. Whether it be through discussion posts and comments, or contributing to our wiki page. I'm happy to settle on constructivist theory as best describing how I learn in this course. Agree?

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield Do you remember when we were asked to learn some new skill, then write about the process we undertook to learn it? I chose to make a video about learning to knit. That process required that I consider more closely the learning process and put some explicit descriptions to it.

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield I just read that learning-by-doing can also occur in a cognitive apprenticeship model where knowledge is thinking based. However, this method of learning is still dependent on working closely with a master of the practice. Can you think of an example of this in our course?

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield Me either. I suppose if I was actively involved in discussions related to the course content, then I could perhaps claim that connectivist theory best described my learning in this course. So, let's examine now the 'learning-by-doing' theory. What do you understand about this?

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield Connectivism seems very much about how learning takes place through making links through 'successful' networks in which individuals are exposed to the flow of information and then reflect on the meanings contained therein, according to Bates in 'Teaching in the Digital Age.'

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield Sure, we experimented with multi-tasking and shared our results. I learned something significant from both doing it myself and reading the experiences of my classmates. And also, I learned how to make a YouTube video only because I knew someone was going to watch it. And you?

[Hugh Schofield @EM203HSchofield]

@H_AndrSchofield Well, I know that in constructivist theory learning is a social process. Certainly in this course we seem encouraged to communicate with our peers through social media platforms, the class wiki page and the discussion forums. Can you think of other ways?
