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”

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”

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.

I’ve been reading an article by Maggi Savin-Gaden that discusses different «constellations» in problem-based learning.
