This journey started during September 2020 and two months later, it has ended. Nevertheless, it is not really the end, for me is the beginning of a new way of thinking, working, teaching and learning. The course, the PBLs and my ONL group influenced me a lot. I knew nothing about most pedagogic approaches weContinue reading “Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”
Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning
During the two weeks devoted to this topic, we ended up analyzing our ONL202 course in relation to the Community of Inquiry (CoI). First time I have heard such a name! We went through a webinar, books, notes and reflections from experts, websites, and a long list of other interesting material. I was trapped byContinue reading “Topic 4: Design for online and blended learning”
Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning
Before ONL202 and this particular topic, I thought that I was collaborating many times during my life. First as a student, later as a researcher. However, after critically analyzing collaborative learning, I regret to inform myself that I was wrong. Usually we understand collaboration as an interaction between persons with a common goal, possible toContinue reading “Topic 3: Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”
Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness
This topic (as all other topics on the ONL course I must say!) has so many aspects that I cannot even think about all of them. We were confused most of the time during the two weeks when discussing about openness and sharing. Let us start by connection between openness and education. Being open isContinue reading “Topic 2: Open Learning – Sharing and Openness”
Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies
To be honest, this topic has surprised me in many ways! I did not know anything about digital literacies, though I thought I was part of the digital world. But I was almost completely wrong… A great exercise for you to be as surprised as me is to create your own “Visitor and resident map”.Continue reading “Topic 1: Online participation & digital literacies”
Week 2 – Connecting
During this important week the focus is to to connect with peers and facilitators and to form groups. Hej! Week 2 (21-27 September 2020) is over and we are now facing Topic 1. But before putting hands on it (perhaps, it is better to think about the topic before), I would like to review myContinue reading “Week 2 – Connecting”
Why Zeta 6 and Uncertainty Principle?
I was an Organic Chemist, actually still I am. My very first approach to research was in this field, many many years ago. I did my Master in Medicinal Chemistry, synthesizing heterocycles aiming to find an active compound against solid tumors. Carbon atom (Zeta 6) was present in my everyday life! During my Master studies,Continue reading “Why Zeta 6 and Uncertainty Principle?”
My very first post
I started this blog as a mandatory task for the course Open Networked Learning (ONL202). I always wanted to have a blog, but I never started it. I am either lazy or scared (probably both!). I will focus the first posts around learning, teaching, science and technology. I am really interested in these topics andContinue reading “My very first post”
