7 Your chance to contribute: share your ideas
In this session you have considered how learning often involves a social and collaborative process. Sharing and discussing ideas with colleagues is an invaluable part of learning. To support this, you are now invited to go to the course forum page and make a post to one of the two discussion threads below. If you decide not to, it will not impact on you obtaining your digital badge.

‘Coaching others to coach’ course forum
- Unlearning discussion thread – to what extent do you agree or disagree that unlearning takes place and is sometimes necessary before learning occurs?
- Coach developer learning discussion thread – how do you believe you have learned to become a better coach developer? Are there any parallels between learning to become a better coach? If so, what are these parallels?
Reading and sharing your thoughts with others will add a further dimension to the learning you can gain from this course. The course forum will normally be moderated throughout the year. However, if your post needs a response from the Open University staff this will normally take two to five days.
