As a preparation for writing this final blog post, I went through my previous four posts to remind myself of the work that has been done and my own, personal reflections along the way. While going through the old posts, I was a bit surprised to realize that so much had happened in such aContinue reading “Topic 5 reflection: More than I thought”
Topic 4: Emotional Presence
Over the last two weeks of ONL201, the topic has been “Design for online and blended learning”, and I have learned about the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework and about the important role of emotions in learning (Cleveland-Innes, 2019a, 2019b).

Reflection
This is a short reflection on our Connecting week in the ONL201 course. I only learned that I would take the course a few days before it actually started, and I am happy to be on board, so to speak. We have had the starting week and then a Connecting week. For me, the firstContinue reading “Reflection”
