Welcome to the COIL project: Envisioning sustainable futures in higher education, using ABCD

This is a collaboration between the Durban University of Technology, Kenyatta University and SUNY New Paltz.

On this Padlet you will find valuable information to assist you in completing your COIL project. We also encourage you to post an introductory video and to comment on at least 3 other project members' videos

# data[].attributes.body
Record a one-minute (or less) video on your phone or other device in which you respond to the following prompts:

Introduce yourself and the university and country you are coming from.

Share 3 three things about yourself that many people do not know about. (Optional: show an object, or more than one object, that represents something about what you are sharing).

Upload your video on this platform.

View all the videos of the students assigned to your group.

Provide one “flashback” comment in the Padlet for three of the videos that you watch. A “flashback” is a brief one to two sentence comment that makes a connection between you and the person in the video.

This needs to be completed by no later than Sunday, 19 March midnight

This video explains what the ABCD approach is.

Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a strategy for sustainable community driven development. Beyond the mobilization of a particular community, ABCD is concerned with how to link micro-assets to the macro-environment.

Hi Guys my name is Tameron Pillay, I’m 27 Years Old and I attend Durban University of Technology at Durban - South Africa

I’m a very reserved person and very shy I don’t like speaking much I rather listen & observe.

I am a good leader and I lead by example to my fellow work colleagues and my close friends. I’ve always felt that if I lead by example then people would take me for granted.

I’ve worked extremely hard to get to this point in my career and studies.

My main objective would be to complete this Degree and possibly study further.

I always believe Knowledge is Power.

Thank You.

Hello everyone my name is Charles Ngcobo, 32 years of age and I'm currently Studying Operations Management in DUT which is in South Africa.

I always regard myself as a polite and friendly person. I'm a very social person because I like to interact with people and share ideas or listen to peoples opinions.

I like being in a constructive team working together to solve problems or come up with  ideas how we can change current situations for the better and giving each other knowledge based on our experiences.

I'm a person who believes nothing is impossible, just put your mind to it and work hard to make your dreams a reality.

Peace.

Hi everyone! My name is Mary Fisher, and I am currently attending SUNY New Paltz with a major in Business Analytics.

I would say I’m an extrovert with introvert tendencies in which I enjoy being accompanied with friends, though I get shy around new people and bigger crowds.

Despite my shyness towards people, I always love meeting new people and learning about them, and their lives. I’d like to say I’m a friendly person and a supportive companion.
