Abstract
The paper reflects on my personal learning experiences as a postgraduate online distance
learner on the use of two contemporary ICT tools, i.e., Asynchronous Discussion Forum (ADF) and CompendiumLD (CLD). The paper opens with an overview on the use of ADF and CLD. I then reflected on
my personal learning experiences on the subject matter through personal narrative method. Finally, I have
suggested, how tutors can utilize these technologies to maximize learners’ participation in online learning
environment. ADF has nurtured critical thinking, questioning, writing and problem-solving skills. It has
further optimized my online participation. Whereas, CLD has equipped me with the skills to design creative
learning interventions. Both the digital tools have increased my collaboration with peers and resources. Not
only did I gain skills, but also shared learning with others. Integration of these tools has potentials to augment
formal and non-formal learning experiences in online environment.
