I started this blog as part of my ONL (Open Networked Learning) course. I have been teaching my students for the most part online since 2017. I am by no means an expert, and am eager to learn more about online methods and tools. I teach anatomy, physiology and human nutrition and am therefore veryContinue reading “ONL Week 1 and 2”

So, the course has started. It is somewhat of a soft landing into the whole ONL environment, but that is good, as it takes a bit of time getting used to, and I am sure we are all busy with other things, too. It’s only been five weeks since I started my current job, soContinue reading “Connecting week”

Who is is digitally competent or who is having a good level of digital literacy? I am i the beginner´s shoes in teaching (and now learning as well) on-line. Joining the ONL course really pushes me out of my comfort zone, but I´m eager to learn new methods of teaching. The COVID-19 pandemic a yearContinue reading “Digital challenge”

My name is Janne and I live in Helsinki, Finland. I have spent most of my life in this city, although I did live for one year in Malmö, Sweden, as an exchange student. Except for that, I have travelled quite a lot. I will not list all places I have visited, but some thatContinue reading “A bit about me”

This is a test, is a test, is a test…

Looking back on the last few weeks on the ONL202 course I do have a smile on my face. I feel that I have learned a lot, and I realize I still have a lot to learn. It will never end. But I can do it one step at a time and I will probablyContinue reading “The end – What happened?”

Continuing on this trip in the world of modern pedagogy in times when you have to adapt and adjust yourself to the new digital environment, we “bumped” into the community of inquiry (CoI) framework during the ONL course. Since I had never heard of it before and I got interested and wanted to look intoContinue reading “Social presence in an educational and clinical world”

The last two weeks we have been thinking, debating, researching about communication and collaboration in the ONL202 course. What is collaboration in the classroom and does it differ from collaboration online? How do we collaborate in our working team, with colleagues and friends? How does our PLN (personal learning network) look like? I have heardContinue reading “Collaboration – is it worth it?”

What kind of person are you? The one who openly share everything in your life, where personal and professional and private smoothly melt together in a life story and is said out loud without hesitation? Or are you the type that do not want to tell other people what you think and feel and maybeContinue reading “Openness in education and in life”

What does it actually mean to be digitally literate? I have to start there because I noticed that I have been using the words during the last two weeks without actually defining them. So, I am sorry, but I did just what the students would do. I went looking for answers on wikipedia :). AccordingContinue reading “Am I digitally literate???”

Well, what can I say…I am always excited to learn something new even though I am not sure what I am getting myself into ?The following weeks you can follow my journey through the open network learning course 2020. My expectations are high and I think I am going to learn a lot but IContinue reading “Getting started”
