Hi @Rebeccathepsych ! I am university student, working on an assignment about the lack of mental health support for elite athletes. Could you share some of the various factors that affect athletes mental health, and ways to break the stigma? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi @Edwards10Carla ! I am working on a school project about the lack of mental health support for elite athletes. I would love to hear your insights about some idea you have to help support these athletes, thank you!

Hi @DrMarinaHarris ! I am 3rd year university student and completing a project on the lack of mental health support for elite athletes. In your opinion what are some of the main factors affecting elite athletes mental health? I would love to hear from your expertise!

Social isolation is a public health crisis and needs to be rectified through implementing gatherings and communities throughout the country. Digital media use also needs to be limited.

A solution to the problem of lack of support for elite athletes suffering from mental health problems would be allowing them to focus on their wellness instead of just fitness.

This article talks about the many mental health problems being faced by elite athletes, as well how often it is being overlooked because of their success and athletic achievements. athletecareertransition.com/post/are-athle…

Taylor Swift has donated enough money to cover the food bills for an entire year across 11 food banks and 8 community pantries in Liverpool. She has done this for every city she's toured in the UK meaning she’s done more than the govt has in 14 years to eradicate food poverty.

The article I found discusses elite athletes such as Simone Biles and Naomi Osaka, and the increased mental health issues they face due to being in such high stress environments. utoronto.ca/news/elite-ath…

This is an important quote that is a valuable reminder especially in University! #EM203Robin #EM203Research

@EM203DKnight, looking at your mind map about climate change, a problem that I have identified is that the increase in consumerism due to our country's values of living a convenient lifestyle is have major impacts on climate change. #EM203problems

@EM203BDuong , looking at your mind map on education, one problem I identified was major curriculum problems, from outdated teaching methods including a lack of innovation to a lack of diversity in the curriculum. #EM203problems

@EM203abondi, looking at your mind map on obesity, one problem that I identified was how a poor diet and a lack of proper exercise, can be the outcome of little health education programs. I think a lot of people would value from better education. #EM203problems

Enjoying EM203! As I wrap up Lesson 3, I have learned about how the internet revolutionized the way we learn, how we learn in a digital age through multiple learning theories, and how the 3M’s enhance learning & engagement. I even learned how to solve a Sudoku puzzle! #EM203Robin

@EM203EAnnis Hi Ella, I agree that these past couple of weeks have definitely gave us the necessary foundation to understand learning in this new digital age. Especially learning about the 5 learning theories as well as the three M’s. I am also looking forward to learning more this semester!

The first three weeks of EM203 have provided me with the necessary foundational knowledge to understand how learning in the digital age is a unique experience and a continuously expanding field. I am looking forward to continuing the rest of the semester! #EM203Robin

@EM203gwendel Hi Gwen, I totally agree that the digital age has the potential to make everlasting changes on the way people learn. This is especially beneficial for anyone who needs extra support when learning whether it be accessibility or collaboration improvements. Thanks for sharing!

Focusing on learning in the 'Digital Age,' so far EM203 has explored how the Internet enhances learning through diverse formats to better suit individual needs, such as multimedia and multimodal approaches, accessibility improvements, and universal collaboration. #EM203Robin

@em203charlotteb Thanks for sharing Charlotte! Adapting to this ever changing digital era is so important and having knowledge about learning theories and the 3 M’s is definitely essential! I am also excited to keep diving into new content!

So far I have learned how the internet is changing how and where people learn, about learning theories behind how different people learn, and how in this digital age the 3 M’s are essential to learning! I am excited for the weeks to come! #EM203Robin

@em203cbyrne @em203charlotteb I have also been enjoying the course! I think it is so important to learn about who learners are and how we learn in this new digital age, that’s why the five learning theories are so important !

The start of the EM203 course has been very interesting! The course has taught me about three key lessons so far. These include: who learners are in the digital age, how we learn in the digital age through five different learning theories, and lastly, the 3M's. #EM203Robin

@EM203Danielle13 It sounds like you are learning a lot! I definitely enjoyed learning about all the different learning theories. I personally found Learning by Doing really interesting and definitely useful for this new digital age. The other day I demonstrated this by doing a sudoku puzzle!

So far in my first 3 lessons of EM203 I have learned about the impacts digital platforms have had on our learning, as well as learned about the different learning theories including: Behaviorism, Cognitivism, Connectivism, Constructivism, and Learning by Doing. #EM203Robin

So far in EM203, I have learned all about how we learn in this digital age. Specifically, I have learned about different learning theories, 21st century learning skills, and the 3 M's. I am excited to keep diving deeper into this course's content! #EM203Robin
