1. What are the main thoughts you carry away with you after reading this article? No education is value free, framed in context and culture what we bring to an educational setting and what we design the learning event as is interpreted differently.  I think it would be significant to be comfortable with a degree of uncertainty.

2. Are there any specific research ideas, studies, articles, or authors cited that you think seem most relevant in this article? I think all the research sited is relevant and have gained a personal bird’s eye view of the field.

3. Can you think of any (ideas, studies, articles, or authors) that might be missing from this article - but which should be included? I would wonder if it would make a difference if you are working with different subcultures within a culture for example the older generation and younger generation or whether you are working with male and female groups would be considered significant as well. Just a thought…

4. Do any of the suggestions for future research interest you in particular, and why? Or are there any suggestions for future research that you would add? I am interested in the incorporation and accommodation to facilitate more cultural elements into online courses. What would it entail to culturally contextualize online learning.. 

Good morning all. I have the dubious honour to be the last to post. I had actually created a podcast but the message “access denied” has persuaded me to text enter. I had fun making it in any case!! To answer the questions my opinion of trust is that it is a reflective activity. I can look back to something and say there is trust but only because of history. I cannot in honesty say that I trust something or someone as I am evaluating and building relationships that I can reflect on and then say I trust... So I might want to trust but that will only be an intention to allow a state to develop. As to being part of the research team, I don’t think anyone can ever have too many believing mirrors in their life. Each person and relationship highlights and reveals another angle of not only them and their life but you and your life. That is always exiting. I am looking forward to learning from everyone and the opportunity to grow. By the end of December I would like to be able to contribute meaningfully to some type of reflection and what happens after December will be just as interesting... what will we all do with what we have gained... ? :-)
