CoI for dummies

Posted on November 27, 2020November 27, 2020 by Cecilia Hammenhag

As a person with my head in the stiff natural sciences I can sometimes find text and wording about pedagogic theories difficult to understand. There are so many sentences explaining the same thing! At least that is how I perceive it. So I often h…

For the second topic, Victor and I were in charge. The topic was how to create open material, what are the obstacles, and more importantly what are the benefits. This was an interesting topic, and our group had many interesting and heated discussions o…

Topic 3: Frustration in collaborative learning

Posted on November 23, 2020 by Hui Zhao

Capdeferro and Romero, M. (2012) mentioned the frustration aspect of collaborative learning. I think it is very important for us to address as course instructors. In the scenario, it mentioned that When digital tools is inserted into this equation, things tend to get even worse: if one person in the group happens to be familiarContinue reading “Topic 3: Frustration in collaborative learning”

Posted on November 20, 2020 by Kathrin Zeller

“Learning in communities – networked collaborative learning”, topic 3 in the ONL course this autumn has been intriguing. Intriguing because of possibilities, the massive amount of literature and studies that have been produced and because this knowledge has been there for DEACADES: I wonder why there have not been more collaborative learning events in theContinue reading “Networked Collaborative Learning – an intriguing journey”

Inquiry into the CoI

Posted on November 15, 2020 by Pia Johansson

These past two weeks at the #ONL202 the topic was Learning in communities, but I got a bit off track with my interest in the importance of educator presence in online learning. I thus started an inquiry into the Community of Inquiry framework, the CoI. The name Community of inquiry is stated to originate fromFortsätt läsa “Inquiry into the CoI”

Let’s work together!

Posted on November 13, 2020 by Nicolette Karst

In this blog post I reflect on collaborative learning. Thinking about teaching and learning activities in general, I like to depart from simple questions. What is it? Why do we do it? How do we do it? So even in this reflection, I take these questions as a starting point. And yes, I stole theFortsätt läsa “Let’s work together!”

Not rocket science!

Posted on November 13, 2020November 13, 2020 by Cecilia Hammenhag

Within the world of research we often emphasize collaborations as one of the keys and no one in their sound mind could argue that it has not contributed to many of the great success stories of research and development. No man is an island in science!&n…

Too scared to share

Posted on November 9, 2020 by Lena Örnberg

University teachers’ general reluctance to share openly their teaching material has bothered me for years. I do understand why, but at the same time not at all. I understand (but I don’t want to accept) that research has a higher value than teaching within universities, and that teaching therefore must be given a lower priorityContinue reading “Too scared to share”

Open, Sesame!

Posted on November 3, 2020 by Nicolette Karst

The topic for this reflective text is Opennes in Education. I have thoroughly pondered upon it over the last two weeks.

I found that many had a positive ring to them and nice images poppedFortsätt läsa “Open, Sesame!”
