One of my teacher training courses over ten years ago included reflecting on Hattie’s theory of visible learning as well as many other pedagogical perspectives. In student groups, we discussed the importance of teachers seeing learning through the eyes of students and various approaches to empowering students to take ownership of their own learning. There… Continue reading Moving forward

As I embarked on this ONL journey, I am not sure what my expectations were, apart from wanting to learn about learning in a digital classroom setting, however “fluffy” that might sound in writing. What I do know, however, is that my perspective on and my approach to this course has changed over time. From… Continue reading Transformation

Final post So, we are coming to an end of the whole ONL211 journey, and as with most journeys my feelings are a bit divided: Yes, finally! No, already?! I am so grateful that I signed up for this course and participated and I feel that my newly acquired knowledge is like a huge chest … Fortsätt läsa “Topic 5: Lessons learnt – future practice”

I am just saying: David Whites “Resident-Visitor Map” Gilly Salmon “Five stage Scaffold model” Tuckman “Team development stages” Garrison “Community of Inquiry Framework” During my ONL course I have been starting thinking differently about how and what online learning is. I mean – it was a wake up call for me when I got to… Fortsätt läsa Lessons learnt – future practice

The best thing about the ONL course has been to share experiences with other course participants. It has also been good to test many new digital tools that can work in online teaching and in blended learning. For me, the most rewarding topic was “Blended learning”. I think it is an interesting topic and the… Fortsätt läsa Topic 5: Summary of the ONL course

Here are (some of all) my thougts on the forth topic of ONL211: Doing by learning as an opposite of learning by doing. In early 2o20, when the news about a strange virus called Covid-something I was just starting up a course for adult learners via the commissioned training center at our university. The course … Fortsätt läsa “Topic 4- Design for online and blended learning”

Starting a new bachelor program in Public Health Sciences this fall will be awesome! I “just” need to put the pieces together, together with the other teachers in the team. However, there is so much new knowledge and experience in my head that I want to start working and creating on… yeah – everything at… Fortsätt läsa Trying to design for online learning

Blended learning As we already know, the situation with Covid has led to an increasing amount of digital distance education. I hope that we after Covid keep the best parts of digital teaching and combine these with teaching face to face. I think that blended learning, a mix of online and face-to-face teaching, will have… Fortsätt läsa Topic 4: Blended learning

On the topic of learning and motivation, it is interesting to reflect on the difference between being a learner and an educator when we talk about Salmon’s five stage model, which is a model we are using in our PBL group (see reference to Salmon’s website below). We can develop competencies that relate to learning… Continue reading Categories and characteristics

Blended learning is an important topic, and the importance of blended learning has been emphasized even more in the past 18 months or so, since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. Boelens et. al. (2017) have identified four key challenges to the design of blended learning and these are: Incorporating flexibility Facilitating interaction Facilitating students’… Continue reading Blended learning and exit tickets

Red flag going up: am I really “allowed” to post this!? Here is a very personal reflection connected to work. Oops. Thursday afternoon. I know that as soon as I click on “publish”, over a hundred students will see their results from the most recent exam. I also know that my inbox will be flooded… Continue reading “But I don’t want to take the exam again!”

This week we started discussing design for online and blended learning in our ONL course. This will be interesting! In the book Teaching as a Design Science (Laurillard, 2012), the author talks about teaching and learning, and she raises a number of interesting questions on what it takes to teach and what it basically takes… Continue reading Thoughts on topic 4
