Through the years it has become increasingly clear to me that learning is a social act. This is easy to see when we observe a toddler learning basic skills during its first years, copying other people and experimenting with what it hears and sees. Similar processes are visible when someone starts a new job and […]

Dear ONLers, We hope you have had a nice weekend! For this week, there are no planned course common activities – however it is perfectly OK to decide for yourselves if you want to meet to reflect as a group! At this point things may have piled up on your to-do list and we want […]

Halfway through the second week of this topic, we hope you are having interesting discussions in your groups. Tomorrow (Thursday, 30 March 10:00 CEST) you are welcome to join our second webinar of topic 2 with Kiruthika Ragupathi, National University of Singapore, and Jörg Pareigis, where we will give you time to discuss how your groups […]

We hope you have enjoyed the first topic and you are beginning to work well in your PBL groups. Now it’s time to move on to our second topic and for the coming two weeks you will be investigating open learning and the challenges and benefits of sharing educational resources and even whole courses with […]

It is always sad to say goodbye after so many weeks of discussion, discovery and creativity (as well as a little confusion!). This has been an intersting year with both ongoing pandemic, a war, and also a return to campus as well, and then the demand to transform courses. We hope that ONL has helped […]

OK, so twelve weeks later, how are things? If you take a short moment to think, about how you felt at the start of ONL222 around mid-September and how you feel now, about the digital stuff that’s available out there, about your own capability? We hope you have found what you were looking for when […]
