I have just spent 38 minutes watching a wonderful video by Wilson Miner that discusses our perceptions of the world and how different inventions and innovations alter the way we see, use and exist in the world. Miner relies heavily on Marshall McLuhan in this video, quoting among other things, «The extension of any oneLes meir “EVOLVING”
Evolve
A long break, the dark winter, Christmas with only half my family, a New Year opening dismally with increased contagion and more restrictions than before. A demagogue, and angry mob – and yet I have a primula blooming on my windowsill. And I have two projects going at work – nothing makes «going to work»Les meir “Evolve”
The end, the beginning
This week the course on creating good online courses came to an end. We were asked to evaluate the course and of course the questions focussed on what did we do well, what could we do better. One of the first modules in the course looked at what was necessary for creating a good onlineLes meir “The end, the beginning”
Lost, found and searching – simultaneously
I started this blog in September at the start of the Online Networked Learning course and I have one week to go. It’s been a long haul, but worth it, especially these last two weeks where we worked on program design. I think I can say I am «lost, found AND searching» all at theLes meir “Lost, found and searching – simultaneously”
Human connections
During the time I have spent on the Open Networked Learning Course, I have felt like something is missing. These last two weeks we have been focusing on the similarities and differences between co-operation and collaboration. The readings point to the importance of creating a safe learning community in order to promote collaboration, and throughLes meir “Human connections”

The great quiz project
I am absolutely terrible at quizzes. Friday quizzes at work – pre-Corona were an exercise in humilty, and yet I met up every Friday. Quiz is after all more about socializing without having to do small talk, isn’t it? Sometime in the spring I joined in a quiz arranged by Han Sylte – (a greatLes meir “The great quiz project”
OPEN
What comes to mind when we think of the Word «open»? A feeling of freedom or are you a bit agoraphobic? Do you want a 360 degree view, or do you feel better if your view is – if not more limited – at least a bit more directed or guided? These are some ofLes meir “OPEN”
Visiting, residing and homesickness
The main reason for me being here is to find out if a Virtual Exchange can give the same personal growth that a physical student/teacher exchange can give. As we all know, no growth without growing pains and in a physical exchange a lot of that pain comes from homesickness. When we look at theLes meir “Visiting, residing and homesickness”
Oh those knowledge gaps!
I’ve been reading an article by Maggi Savin-Gaden that discusses different «constellations» in problem-based learning. I like the constellation metaphor – it conjurs up images of The Enterprise «going where no man has gone before». While reading the article I’ve been thinking about how this relates to my job as International Coordinator. It seems thatLes meir “Oh those knowledge gaps!”
