This is another piece of work, while taking stock of the few weeks into the EDEC course.  I started out unsure what culture was, and then the plethora of images and sounds from edcMooc and edec colleagues on eLearning and Digital Cultures presented each day helped build the picture.  Reading the core materials over the weeks, I am being sensitised to many terminologies, concepts.  As part of the detox, I am looking at cultures from a different lense.

This is a result of a visit to the Autoworld Museum in Brussels. It certainly has helped me streamline my thoughts on eLearning and Digital cultures.  There is more to consider especially the impact on schooling and education but this will have to come later.  All picture copyright belongs to T.Meckenstock.
