Distance learning is something that I have always done but not at the current level that I am. I have learned a lot of things but at my own discretion. Although college is all about what you do outside of the class it has all become one and what I do in class is also what I do at home, so trying to find time to live life and do work is sometimes difficult. What I do enjoy about distant learning is actually learning at a pace that I consider manageable. To help improve the experience learners have I could try to space out the time which assignments are due. For example, instead of 1 assignment a week, I would do 1 assignment every two weeks.

Open educational resources are resources used for research purposes that are freely accessible, openly licensed text, media, and other digital materials. The main thing here is free and licensed meaning that it's open to the public and is usually trustworthy information. I searched the web and found tandfonline.com which is an online resource that is home to many different peer-reviewed research articles. similar to libraries found on FSU websites it offers articles on many different topics that can be beneficial to educational advancement. 

For assignment 4, I learned a couple things in regards to PowerPoint. for one, I learned different ways to design the layouts provided by the service. I learned how animations and other digital art can come together to make a PowerPoint look more creative. I also learned about recording my voice with PowerPoint which I have never done before this assignment so learning how to do that will most definitely be beneficial for my future.
