1. What I have learned from this module.
There are 11 topics provided during this model. And I am interested in the circular economy in week 5 and smart cities in week 9. I suppose the key factor in the circular economy is sustainability. A large number of companies have integrated the concept of the circular economy into its design to minimize the impact on the environment. For example, Huawei selects harmless and more recycled materials and promotes lightweight designs in raw material acquisition. From product use perspective, extending product lifespan and make products easier to upgrade and repair. At the end of the lifecycle, products are easy to disassemble and recycled by different categories separately.
Urbanization promotes the improvement of civilization, economy, and technology. However, a large number of urban populations would put pressure on natural and social resources and living costs. To cope with these challenges, smart city projects are being built. 5G, IoT, AI, and cloud as innovative technologies are gradually establishing safer and more efficient cities. For example, as the Winner of the 2018 World Smart City Award, Singapore launched its ‘Smart City 2015’ plan in 2006 and applied information and communications technology (ICT) to various aspects, such as digital media and entertainment, education and training, financial services, manufacturing and logistics, healthcare and bioscience, and eGovernment.
2. My participation.
Thanks for this module, it pushes me to explore the new communication method, writing a blog. As a new blogger, the click rate is pretty low, I would post more interesting topics to attract more visitors in the future.
And the comment from others helps me to correct mistakes and expand related knowledge.
In MOOC, I put comments on AI and 3D printing topics and gain many useful thoughts from different perspectives.
AI would enhance human capability and performance in various industries. But I am considering the disadvantage AI would bring to human beings.
3D printing is significant to environmental sustainability because the printer merely puts it exactly where it is needed which saves materials. And my perspective is discussing the practical use in the medical equipment industry.
In my comments on blog post 2, I combined some views of MOOC and my personal experience to show my understanding of the challenges and opportunities about doctors and insurance managers in the future.
From the blog post 3, I have gained new digital business models in hotel and game industry, which help me to fill the gap in these two industries.
3. How this module influences my future-leaning and working.
This is my first time doing the online course, and I would talk about the improvement of personal abilities and actual skills from this video. The main points are:
1. Post and design blog.
2. Suitable for online course.
3. Time management.
4. Self-learning skill.
5. Flexible learning.
