So the ONL course has ended and I’m still pondering if I should keep this blog alive or not. There are some ideas in my head on where this could go and in which direction to develop. I’ll take another week or two to think about it and then…

The very last week of my ONL experience has started and I’m trying to find the time to truely reflect on the whole experience. I feel sorry that I don’t have a lot of room in my busy week to go back through the topics, scroll through the literature and find a take home message […]

So here we are, the course has started with finding my way around ONL spaces. I´ve also had the opportunity to meet with the members of my PBL group 4. It was great to hear about the others, their interests and the reasons why they chose this course. We have also decided to generate a […]
