 * In this section you are noting how you intend to contribute to our learning community and who you will be working most closely with.**

I intend to make good use of the contributions made by peers in relation to my interest groups. I think their summaries will be a good way of front loading my knowledge to better understand the articles which will save me time as well. The reading sheets will also be a good way to consolidate my learning as contributions from my buddy groups will make me think of things from different points of view or identify ideas that I hadn’t even considered. I think the main way for me to learn from the learning community will be to engage in the online material and discussions that are happing around it. I intend to facilitate the learning of others through holding up my end of responsibilities, by making useful contributions online on time. I would also like to be able to help people through problems or issues that they might be having if I know the answer, or if not find out and let them know as I think it will help me as well. Another way I think I might be able to help the learning community is by letting them know if I find any useful/good resources. My learning buddies and their interest areas: Glyn Hauplo, Lucy Bondaruk, Stephen Adams
